With its vast size and range of climates, North America doesn’t have a single best travel season. Northern areas experience more pronounced seasonal changes, while southern regions tend to see milder shifts and longer stretches of warm weather. The best time to visit ultimately depends on your destination and priorities.
The top tour style depends on the region, landscape, and traveler. We offer a range of tours to showcase the best of each destination, from leisurely journeys and small-group adventures to cruises.
Entry requirements vary by country and traveler, so check official government websites for up-to-date information. When packing, consider how weather can vary across regions. Keep in mind that Canada and the United States use different currencies.

Our tour manager, Julie Y, made the tour informative, fun and interesting. She kept us updated on our transportation and activities so we could anticipate our daily schedule. Our bus tour drivers were each informational and entertaining as well. Each was born and raised on the islands we toured. Visiting the Arizona Memorial was moving. The Road to Hana was exciting & beautiful. Of course, the luau was enchanting and plentiful and delicious. All the food, breakfasts and dinners, were scrumptious! Touring the palace and learning more about the history of Hawaii was very valuable. Each component of the tour was wonderful! Black sand beach, red sand beach, Maui beaches, volcano, coffee farm, historical sites, etc. I highly recommend this trip!

Great hotel, felt safe in the neighborhood of the hotel. Tour manager Michael was so knowledgeable about the area and the events that had happened. Sites were so accessible since we were in the tour group. I wouldn’t want to try to do this tour on my own.

Independence Hall was the highlight of the tour locations. The tour manager, Wesley was the best in my 50 years of travel.

The tour more than met all of my expectations as stated in the previous survey I completed for Collette. Amoung the most memorable was touring Paul Revere's house in Boston, than going a few doors down to Limoncello for a great meal! In New York City, the 911 Memoral was most memerable, having the best chicken pot pie ever at the Fraunces Tavern was "Revolutionary!" Seeing the play "Hamilton" was fantastic!!! West Point and Valley Forge were unforgetable! Washington D.C. was great, the cherry blossoms, the National Archives, the Capital tour, Arlington Cemetery, Mt. Veron all wonderful! All the guides were awasome as was Marc (& Liz) our Tour manager! Had a great time, loved all of the 250th Anniversary history encountered, thanks!

Pearl Harbor also loved Maui thinking of doing the tour over again but the Kona restaurant was not the best. I would most likely skip that place.
Tour Rating:
Seeing the vast differences in the three islands was a great experience. Even though the weather was a little uncooperative to begin with, everyone had “island vibes” and made the best of it. Coming from the Midwest, an Orange volcano watch was something new to experience. Can’t wait to go back

Great tour and wonderful experience in Costa Rica. Olman, our guide was so knowledgeable that he made our vacation unforgettable. One of the highlights of this trip was visiting the different areas of Costa Rica, from the beach to the mountains. We also enjoyed sampling the cuisine in these areas. Thank you Collette and Olman for a trip we are still talking about!
