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.

Why Book Your Multigenerational Family Trip with Collette?

Making Memories Together

Unique experiences are made richer with family by your side. And the journey lives on through memories retold. Do you remember that game drive with Grandma? We came so close to the elephants!

Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff

Planning a trip is hard work. Organizing the Blarney Stone visit? Finding a ride to the river cruise in Costa Rica? That stuff takes away from your time to focus on each other. Let us handle the logistics.

Learning from Each Other

Traveling with family is the best game of trivia. From architectural features to history, the facts your family members have tucked away may surprise you. (And your Tour Manager can fill in any gaps!)

Exploring Your Ancestry

Cultural heritage forms our family traditions and beliefs. Tracing your family’s roots is powerful. There’s no better way to discover these countries than with your family. Go together, with an expert by your side.

Private Touring for Families

Whether you’re booking a large family trip or the best family reunion ever, you can book a private tour with 10 or more travelers. Go on. Invite everyone and their mother.

Playing New Roles

We think of people in their day-to-day roles. Parent. Sibling. Child. When you travel on tour and responsibilities shift, you let loose and get to know each other as adventurers, too.

Collette Knows Family Travel

We have been family-owned and operated since we opened our doors in 1918. Our team loves traveling with family! We truly value the magic of exploring the world together.

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. Traveling 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! ”
