Discover the world in a more intimate way.

You don’t just want to go places – you want to truly experience them. That’s why Collette designs trips with travellers like you in mind. Each itinerary is crafted for those who seek to connect, understand, and fully immerse themselves in a destination — not just check it off a list. Because if you’re going to explore, you should do it right. Our travellers come from all walks of life, but they’re united by one thing: a deep, shared curiosity about the world.

Explorations tours cater to those seeking smaller groups (with an average of 19 travellers and a maximum of 24), off-the-beaten-path adventures, authentic culinary experiences, specialty tastings and chef-led demonstrations and meaningful local interactions. This means deeper connection to people and culture, the unexpected, unscripted moments that become trip highlights – like cooking demonstrations in Vietnam, curling lessons in Ireland, dining with locals in Africa, sleeping under the stars in Finland or meeting rescued wolfdogs in Canada.

Collette Explorations is for those travellers looking to:

Travel in smaller groups (average of 19 guests)
Go off the beaten path on culturally immersive adventures
Stay in boutique accommodation
Meet the locals and embrace their traditions
Savour authentic culinary experiences
Participate in hands-on discoveries

The Explorations Difference

More Time in the Destination: More 2- and 3-night stays mean more time to explore each destination and less time spent on the coach.

A Regional Approach: Each Explorations tour is designed from the ground up by experts who live in the region. Explore the hotspots or go deeper into secondary cities. Get access to experiences that truly venture off the well-worn path.

Learning and Discovery: Created exclusively for small groups, these tours provide access to experiences like overnighting in tented camps, embarking on backwoods truffle-hunts, and meeting locals in their homes for a meal and a meaningful conversation.

Collette handles the details so your holiday is worry-free

All Your Logistics Are Handled: Transportation and logistics are taken care of so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy every moment.

Your Accommodation is Arranged: Stay in 4-star and above accommodation throughout your trip, with expertly paced itineraries keeping one-night stays to a minimum.

24/7 Customer Support: Collette has boots on the ground all over the world, and a support team available 24/7 before, during, and after your tour. As industry leaders since 1918, your happiness is the top priority.

Perfectly Balanced Itineraries for Travellers: You want to experience the destination fully and also have time to explore independently. Expertly crafted itineraries blend free time with must-see inclusions so you can do it all, your way.

A More Personalised Experience: Collette pioneered Choice on Tour, so that on most itineraries you can choose between two included excursions, as well as optional experiences, pre and post tour extensions, and free time. It’s your tour, your way.
