traveler insight We love hearing from you! Our travelers mean a lot to us, and a ringing endorsement from our travelers is worth its weight in gold. Across Feefo (an independent, third-party review platform), social media and in letters written to our home office, we’ve gathered a few of our current favorites.

The trip was everything Collette promised. Our Tour Director was one of the best we have had. We hope to travel with him again. If Collette offers a tour we are interested in, they would be our first choice. (As they have been in the past). We have recommended the company to others.

ROBERT CAMPOS AGREDA TOUR MANAGER
2 years of service, on what he loves about Peru:
Peru is my home, my blood, my ancestors and my heart and soul. Peru has everything. Incredible beaches, soaring mountain ranges, colorful deserts, beautiful lakes, and the Amazon. Peruvians also love a good time! Whether it’s playing Futbol (soccer) with a group of friends, dancing salsa all night, or enjoying a world class meal with the perfectly blended pisco cocktail–we know how to enjoy life. In short, I believe Peru has something for everyone. How can you not fall in love with Peru?
This was the most marvelous trip for us—life changing, actually. Getting a glimpse of this beautiful country and its wonderful people made it one of our best vacations ever. COLLETTE TRAVELER ON PERU: ANCIENT LAND OF MYSTERIES

THE NEW EXPLORATIONS EXPERIENCE
What You’ll Do
unique experiences
It’s often said that experience is the best teacher and we couldn’t agree more. Experiences help educate us as travelers about cultures, traditions, and the human spirit. It’s why we take the time to include truly exceptional experiences on Explorations. Some experiences are active and even a little adventurous, some are designed to reveal the heart of a culture, and some may even have the power to change your life. Hard to replicate, and impossible to forget, these experiences will help shape your understanding of a destination, and shape your vision of the world.
Small Group Travel
reinvented
You’ll share the road, a few meals, and a variety of special moments with a small, tight-knit group averaging about 15 people. You won’t be one of the crowd with Explorations, you’ll be an integral part of a cultural expedition. Every Explorations traveler is unique, but you all share a similar agenda—to travel and connect to the world in a more authentic way.

Where You’ll Stay
authentic surroundings
Explorations gives travelers access to the world in a new way, venturing with a small group of like-minded travelers on immersive adventures. Explorations includes a variety of unique places to rest up and rejuvenate during your travels. Each hotel (4-star and above) is carefully chosen to ensure that your exploration never stops, even while you’re relaxing after a full day, or lingering over a morning coffee. Whether it’s the history, the view, the location, or the amenities, your hotels will capture the spirit of your destination. These are but a few of the types of places you can expect to stay with Explorations. CALL TO SEE SPECIFIC HOTEL DETAILS FOR YOUR TRIP.
What’s on the Menu Feel the Freedom to
explore
No one has traveled the same path as you. And no one will experience the world just as you do. While there’s no “one size fits all” travel experience, the travel experiences we craft include a good balance of unique, hard-to-replicate experiences, cultural connections, and plenty of opportunities for “you” time.
culinary adventures
Local cuisine is so much more than taste and texture. It’s about the experience and ambiance served up alongside a mouthwatering meal. Explorations seeks to delight the entire palate, creating an unforgettable and hard-to-replicate epicurean adventure. From home-hosted meals to hands-on cooking classes, intimate local restaurants to street food tours, you will savor the many local flavors your destination has to offer.

If you purchase an air-inclusive program, your airfare will be quoted inclusive of all fuel, taxes and fees. Your rates are subject to change until paid in full. Seats are limited and may not be available on every flight or departure date. Instant Purchase Nonrefundable Airfare includes roundtrip airport/hotel transfers (excluding pre- or post-days and extensions). Instant Purchase nonrefundable airfare requires full payment at the time of booking. If you purchase the Travel Protection Plan, the Instant Purchase nonrefundable airfare may be covered, if you cancel your trip for a covered reason (see Part B for more details). Tickets will be issued immediately and once issued are nonrefundable, and may only be changed for a fee up to $300 plus any difference in airfare for travel in the following 12 months; specific fees and policies may vary by airline. These tickets include an administration fee and roundtrip airport-to-hotel transfers, of which both hold no airline reissue value. Once issued, there can be no fluctuation in price due to an increase in government taxes or in airline fuel surcharges. Therefore, any such fees or airport-to-hotel transfers are not refundable under any circumstances. Travelers Needing Special Assistance You must report any disability requiring special attention to Collette at the time the reservation is made.* Collette will make reasonable efforts to accommodate the special needs of tour participants. Such participants, however, should be aware that the Americans with Disabilities Act is inapplicable outside of the United States and facilities outside the United States for disabled individuals are limited. It is strongly recommended that persons requiring assistance be accompanied by a companion who is capable of and totally responsible for providing the assistance. Neither Collette nor its personnel, nor its suppliers, may physically lift or assist clients into transportation vehicles. If a traveler thinks he or she might need assistance during a trip, he or she should call Collette to determine what assistance might reasonably be given. Collette cannot provide special individual assistance to tour members with special needs for walking, dining or other routine activities. *To request a wheelchair accessible room on a cruise, the traveler or person sharing the room must have a recognized disability that alters a major life function and requires the use of a mobility device and the use of the accessible features provided in the wheelchair accessible stateroom. Baggage Disclaimer Although every effort is made to handle passengers’ luggage as carefully as possible, Collette is not responsible for and does not assume liability or accept claims for loss of or damage to luggage due to breakage, theft or wear and tear through hotel and group carrier handling. It is recommended for your own self-interest and protection that you have adequate insurance to cover these eventualities. Check with your sales agent for low-cost insurance to cover these risks. There are limitations by coach and air carrier as to the number and size of bags which can be carried onboard and in bulk storage. Be sure to ask your travel professional about such restrictions before departing for your tour. Checked Baggage Charges: Some airlines may impose additional charges if you choose to check any baggage. Please contact your airline or refer to its website for detailed information regarding your airline’s checked baggage policies. Please be advised there is a $25 USD/CAD charge (per piece) for checked baggage on most transborder flights between U.S. & Canada. This is a fee levied by the airlines, not Collette, and may be subject to change. Transfers Roundtrip airport-to-hotel transfers are provided for all passengers who purchase airfare through Collette. These transfers also apply to pre- and post-night stays purchased through Collette. Passengers who do not purchase airfare through Collette can purchase transfers (for the first and last day of the tour) at an additional cost of $100 per person, roundtrip. Some restrictions may apply. All transfers leave at prescheduled times.
Roundtrip Home to Airport Sedan Service This service is available for all air-inclusive tour bookings. This personalized service is included in many U.S. cities within a 50 mile radius from more than 90 airport gateways.* Service is available between 51 and 75 miles for a small fee. Not valid on group travel. *One transfer per room booking. Additional stops are not permitted on route.

Tour Pacing Tour pacing varies by itinerary, and each destination’s sightseeing and activities are unique. Pacing is subject to personal interpretation. At Collette, we do include the best a destination has to offer, enhancing your overall tour experience. For overnight pacing of a tour, please refer to the “Accommodations” section on each tour page and on the tour map. For our Explorations tours, please refer to the “Where You’ll Stay” section on each tour page. These describe the number of nights you will stay in each hotel during your tour. Please visit our website for full day by day itinerary information. The day-by-day descriptions will provide additional detail about the number of activities included in each day. The Tour Activity Level Ranking is featured on each tour itinerary. If you have additional questions regarding a specific tour, please inquire at time of reservation. For your comfort, we recommend packing comfortable walking shoes so you can fully enjoy every aspect of your tour. Travel Loyalty Formerly known as Travel Loyalty by Collette (TLC), Collette has relaunched a new, more inclusive loyalty program called the Collette Passport Club. For guests who are already enrolled in TLC no action is required. New guests who complete a trip that departs on or after 9/4/17 will automatically be enrolled in the program. Collette Passport Club members receive a $150 travel credit for each trip they take* along with various other benefits. *Full credit is valid for your next tour when you travel within 12 months of the original trip. $100 of the credit remains valid for travel within 13-24 months, and the entire credit expires 24 months after the original trip. Holiday and Museum Closures Museum visits and personal shopping time may be disrupted due to unforeseen circumstances or many religious, state and local holidays observed throughout the world. Motorcoach Washrooms Most motorcoaches used on our tours are equipped with washrooms except safari vehicles, exotic locations, and some of our Explorations tours. These are typically for emergency use, as we make plenty of comfort stops, allowing you the opportunity to use public restrooms and/or stretch your legs. Seat Rotation Seats are rotated onboard the coach for all Collette tours under the direction of the tour manager. So that we do not show partiality among passengers, exceptions cannot be made. Maps and Photos Maps shown on tour pages are current at the time of printing and may not reflect actual tour routing should the tour change. Photos shown on tour pages are reflective of the area(s) visited, but may not be included in the actual tour itinerary and the conditions you experience may be different than depicted in the photograph(s).
