When it comes to guided travel, some names have stood the test of time. Collette is one of them — a company built on over a century of experience, thoughtful planning, and a genuine love for discovering the world the right way.
At TLC Luxury Travel, we are selective about the partners we recommend. Collette has earned its place as one of our preferred suppliers — and as a valued partner within the Virtuoso network — because they blend old-world values with modern, forward-thinking travel experiences. That alignment allows our clients to enjoy not only beautifully designed journeys, but also the added value and care that comes from booking through a Virtuoso-affiliated advisor.
A Legacy of Trust and Experience
Founded in 1918, Collette began as a family‑run business and has remained true to those roots ever since. While travel trends have evolved, Collette’s commitment to quality, reliability, and personal service has never wavered. Their longevity speaks volumes — they’ve been guiding travelers across continents long before travel became something you could book with a click.
That history matters. It brings a level of confidence and care that can only come from decades of hands‑on experience.
Thoughtfully Designed Journeys
Collette tours are carefully curated to strike the right balance between structure and freedom. You enjoy:
- Expert local guides who bring destinations to life
- Well‑paced itineraries that respect your time and comfort
- Seamless logistics, so you can relax and enjoy the journey
- Authentic cultural experiences, not rushed sightseeing
From classic European itineraries to immersive adventures in Asia, Africa, and beyond, Collette focuses on meaningful travel — the kind that leaves you with stories worth telling.
Comfort, Connection, and Care
One of the hallmarks of Collette is their attention to the traveler experience. When combined with our Virtuoso affiliation, this often means additional touches such as welcome amenities, enhanced on-tour experiences, or exclusive offers available only when booking through a trusted advisor. Accommodations are hand‑selected for comfort and location, transportation is reliable, and every detail is thoughtfully managed.
Equally important is the sense of connection. Traveling with Collette often means sharing the journey with like‑minded travelers who value learning, comfort, and genuine experiences. Many clients tell us that the friendships formed along the way become just as memorable as the destinations themselves.
