There are countless benefits to family travel. Experiencing new things together. Taking time to enjoy each other’s company without life’s typical distractions. Connecting with loved ones who don’t live near us.

No matter why you decide to travel together, or where you choose to go, spending quality time with family should be the only thing that matters. That’s why families book Collette tours – to let experts take care of all the details.

Iceland: Land of Fire & Ice

“We most enjoyed getting to be guided through a country new to us, our daughter, and granddaughter by a knowledgeable guide. She facilitated helping our family make lifelong memories that we cherish.”

Kathryn S.

Tropical Costa Rica

“Our tour group was a mix of families with children aged 9 to 22. Travelling with multi-generational families absolutely enhanced this tour.”

“Because my son is older now and he's living on his own, we're not together as much, so it was a fantastic opportunity to come back together again and spend some really special time together and make new memories! ”
