Highlights
Cultural Treasures of Japan

Tokyo
As the capital of Japan, Tokyo is also the most populous city with over 13 million people and is the cultural and financial center of Japan. Originally known as Edo prior to the move of the empire in 1868 from Kyoto, Tokyo is a sprawling metropolis with over 23 city sections all connected by an excellent public transit system. While most of ancient Tokyo was destroyed by bombing in WWII, today’s Tokyo is a mix of architectural styles and eclectic structures.

Ginza


Chanting, Meditation & Private Tea Ceremony with a Monk


Hakone
With views of Mt. Fuji visible on clear days, Hakone is a city located outside of Tokyo and part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. A popular destination for locals and tourists looking for a peaceful break from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, Hakone is famous for hot springs, an open-air sculpture museum and wetland gardens.

Lake Ashi Cruise
Valued for its hot springs and spas, the scenic resort town of Hakone sits on the shores of beautiful Lake Ashi. Mt. Fuji rises in the distance as you cruise the deep-blue waters on a voyage that features incredible views of the mountain and stops at lakeside towns.

Matsumoto
This 400-year-old castle is known as the “Crow Castle” because of its stunning black interior. It’s Japan’s oldest and most important historic castle, and as such, it is considered a National Treasure and an absolute must-see.

Takayama
Catch a glimpse of the past in Takayama’s historic district that reveals its ancient culture. Explore the winding streets lined with traditional inns and houses. The well-preserved old town provides you with a great example of what rural Japan is like. The bustling open air markets where you can find lots of local food and handicrafts date back over 600 years.

Shirakawa-go
Discover the unique fairy tale charm of this enchanting rural village and see why tourists from all over the world are drawn to this very place. Learn about the long history and unique architectural character of the centuries old wooden farmhouses that were built without the use of a single nail.

Kanazawa
As a former home to the Meada feudal lords, Kanazawa today is one of two cities spared from the destruction of WWII. Because of this preservation, many of the original castles and buildings remain today, including the Ninja Temple and Kanazawa Castle. Another highlight is one of the Three Great Gardens of Japan, Kenroku-en.

Kyoto
Once the imperial capital for over 1,000 years, Kyoto is also known as the city of 10,000 shrines. From Buddhist temples to Shinto shrines, Kyoto remains a treasure of Japan with the wide range of historic buildings and gardens protected during the bombings of WWII. Also the center of the Geisha culture, today's visitors can stroll through the former Geisha quarters or try their hand at being a "Geisha for a day" with the locals.

Bullet Train
In Japan, high speed trains (bullet trains) are called “Shinkansen.” They run at speeds of up to 320 kilometers per hour and are known to depart on time right to the second.

Hiroshima
A modern Japanese city, Hiroshima is most known for being one of two cities hit with an atomic bomb, helping to end the Second World War. Though reclaimed as a cosmopolitan center, the city is never far from its past; amongst the electric neon of its bustling streets, Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park is a historical time capsule right in the city center that’s both a dedication to the victims of the bombing and to world peace. The park’s main site, the A-Bomb Dome is the mark of the ruined remains of the Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall. The nearby Peace Memorial Museum gives you the opportunity to learn about life in Hiroshima before, during, and after WWII. For those interested in world history, Hiroshima is a must-see.

This is something we’ve done for decades, because the trust of our travelers matters the most. So go ahead and book that dream trip with confidence — no blackout windows or hidden restrictions.

Social Responsibility

Make Travel a Force for Good

Travel isn’t just about exploring the world — it’s about making a positive impact. Every journey at Collette is designed responsibly, using our values as our guiding light. These values are at the center of everything we do and every decision we make.

Our Mission

At Collette, we believe that when done right, travel has the power to strengthen communities and protect the places we explore. That’s why every tour features Responsible Travel Highlights — experiences thoughtfully designed to connect you with local organizations and sustainable partners who are making a difference. These moments do more than inspire — they help ensure that the joy of travel benefits everyone, everywhere.

Our Framework for Impact

We deliver impact through four interconnected pillars:

Responsible Travel
Extensively vetting every parter we include on every tour to ensure our tours benefit the communities we visit, not just pass through them.

Responsible Business
Holding ourselves accountable to ethical, sustainable practices companywide.

Volunteering
Empowering every employee to make a difference locally and globally by offering over a week of paid volunteer time annually.

Grantmaking
Investing directly in community partners and systems change, with over 25 years of impact and $10 million total giving in all the years combined.

Multigenerational Travel

Focus on family. We’ll handle the rest.

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.
 

Low Season

Less is More on a Low-Season Tour

Explore popular destinations with more flexibility and fewer crowds. Whether you're searching for tranquility or a deeper connection with the locals, off season travel is one of the best ways to experience a destination.

6 Reasons to Love the Low Season

More Affordable
Off-season travel offers significant cost savings on flights, accommodations, and day-to-day activities.

Better Service
Smaller crowds mean more personalized service and shorter wait times at restaurants, museums, and attractions.

More Peace
Peak season can be crowded and overwhelming, while the low season offers opportunities for quieter, more serene travel experiences.

Authentic Experiences
Experience destinations like the locals do - with less hustle and more room to appreciate the beauty around you.​​​​​​​

More Sustainable
Low season travel reduces the strain on a destination’s resources, meaning less waste and lower pollution levels.

Support Local Economies
​​​​​​​
Low season tourism brings vital income to local economies during quieter periods, helping to sustain businesses and livelihoods year-round.

Collette Gives You More Value in Every Way...

More Peace of Mind
Every moment of your travel experience is important to us. Whether it’s helping you select a destination, taking you to and from the airport, offering the security of our unrivaled Travel Protection plan or 24-7 support, we are there for you every step of the way.

More Flexibility
Personalize Your Adventure. Every traveler is different, so we have created many ways for you to personalize your tour to make your trip your very own. It’s where inclusiveness meets choice and we’re pretty excited about it.

More Expertise
Backed by a century of experience, Collette (a family-owned and award winning leader in travel) is proud to show you the world. Our passionate tour design team travels the globe, creating new experiences and staying ahead of the latest travel trends. Plus, with a professional Tour Manager at your service and local guides by your side you'll never miss a thing.

More on Tour
We are committed to exceeding expectations, and we begin by including more iconic must-sees and cultural inclusions to deliver a deeper experience. We also include more meals in local restaurants and more menu choices. Add in carefully selected accommodations and the stage is set for a truly amazing journey.

More Caring
Through local community volunteering and support, we make an impact in the places where we work; and with our support of legacy programs in countries like Kenya, Australia, Fiji, Cambodia and Peru, we make a difference in the places where we travel. Our only goal is to give children everywhere – regardless of circumstance – the opportunity to accomplish their dreams.

More Sharing
The best travel moments are those that are shared. Every day around the globe our guests are posting about their own incredible travel experiences. Find out what they are saying, and when you go, become a part of the worldwide conversation.
 

Every Moment of Your Trip Matters

As travelers, we understand that your trip starts at your doorstep and every moment counts. That’s why we offer private chauffeur service to and from the airport. It’s why we developed an industry-leading travel protection plan. And it’s why we offer unrivaled 24-7 support to our travelers out on the road.

We know that the more peace of mind you have, the more you can relax and enjoy the journey. And that’s why we’re with you, every step of the way.

Travel Protection Plan

We get it. Life happens and plans change. With our unrivaled Travel Protection Plan, you can cancel you trip for any reason, right up until the day before your departure and get a full refund, less the cost of the plan. This is something we’ve done for decades, because the trust of our travelers matters the most. So go ahead and book that dream trip with confidence — no blackout windows or hidden restrictions.

Private Chauffeur Service

When you buy air with Collette, secure door-to-door chauffeur service to and from the airport, plus hotel transfers, and all internal transfers during your trip. This means a private sedan comes straight to your door, loads your bags, and whisks you off to the airport and back home again when you return. It’s the perfect stress-free way to start and end your trip.

Expert Tour Managers

Each Collette tour is guided by a regionally-based expert. This means that from the moment you touch down until the moment you leave, you’ll be in the hands of a trusted Tour Manager with insider knowledge about the culture, language, and history of your destination — so you can get the most in-depth experience without any of the stress.

Guaranteed to Go

We have thousands of guaranteed departure dates across our 170+ tours. Book your tour with peace of mind, knowing that it will leave as planned and your departure date won’t change.

Make Travel a Force for Good

Travel isn’t just about exploring the world — it’s about making a positive impact. Every journey at Collette is designed responsibly, using our values as our guiding light. These values are at the center of everything we do and every decision we make.

Our Mission

At Collette, we believe that when done right, travel has the power to strengthen communities and protect the places we explore. That’s why every tour features Responsible Travel Highlights — experiences thoughtfully designed to connect you with local organizations and sustainable partners who are making a difference. These moments do more than inspire — they help ensure that the joy of travel benefits everyone, everywhere.

Our Framework for Impact

We deliver impact through four interconnected pillars:

Responsible Travel
Extensively vetting every parter we include on every tour to ensure our tours benefit the communities we visit, not just pass through them.

Responsible Business
Holding ourselves accountable to ethical, sustainable practices companywide.

Volunteering
Empowering every employee to make a difference locally and globally by offering over a week of paid volunteer time annually.

Grantmaking
Investing directly in community partners and systems change, with over 25 years of impact and $10 million total giving in all the years combined.

Focus on family. We’ll handle the rest.

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.
 

Less is More on a Low-Season Tour

Explore popular destinations with more flexibility and fewer crowds. Whether you're searching for tranquility or a deeper connection with the locals, off season travel is one of the best ways to experience a destination.

6 Reasons to Love the Low Season

More Affordable
Off-season travel offers significant cost savings on flights, accommodations, and day-to-day activities.

Better Service
Smaller crowds mean more personalized service and shorter wait times at restaurants, museums, and attractions.

More Peace
Peak season can be crowded and overwhelming, while the low season offers opportunities for quieter, more serene travel experiences.

Authentic Experiences
Experience destinations like the locals do - with less hustle and more room to appreciate the beauty around you.​​​​​​​

More Sustainable
Low season travel reduces the strain on a destination’s resources, meaning less waste and lower pollution levels.

Support Local Economies
​​​​​​​
Low season tourism brings vital income to local economies during quieter periods, helping to sustain businesses and livelihoods year-round.
