Our Tour Managers
Over and over again, we hear our travelers say, "I love Collette." And over and over again, we hear them RAVE about their tour managers.

Tour Managers, not Tour Guides
They're tour managers, not just tour guides. It's true they all have comprehensive knowledge of their destination and a passion for sharing it, but they also handle all the details of travel, so you can sit back and enjoy the trip. It's like traveling with a friend who knows the area. And one who doesn't mind doing all the tedious work.

Loyalty, Longevity and Experience
We've got over 100 tour managers and most of them by far are Collette employees, unlike other tour operators who use freelance contractors. And, they've been with us for an average of 8 years.

An Elite Group
Only one applicant in 100 makes it through Collette's rigorous selection and training program. We want to make sure you are in the best hands while on a Collette Vacations.

Understanding and Cultural Connections
Our Tour Managers have rich backgrounds that connect them to cultures and societies around the world. But they are also U.S. and Canadian citizens, so they understand the needs and concerns of the North American traveler. You couldn't ask for a better companion on the road.

From the very start of our tour of Italy, our tour guide exhibited professional leadership skills. She did much to welcome the group, settle us in to a travelers’ routine and develop group cohesiveness. Her consideration of and sensitivity to the needs of individuals as well as the group was remarkable.
