Collette’s small group Explorations tours are designed specifically for the modern, culturally curious traveller. Each tour is intentionally built for smaller groups — never adapted from larger itineraries — allowing for deeper cultural connection, smarter pacing, and access to places larger groups often can’t reach.

With more than 50 immersive itineraries worldwide and new tours joining the lineup each year, Explorations offer broad global coverage across Europe, Africa, Asia, the Americas, and beyond. Each journey is thoughtfully designed by in-destination experts who prioritize meaningful experiences, secondary cities, and authentic engagement with local people and culture. Travellers spend less time on the coach and more time experiencing each destination, with an average stay of nearly three nights per location.

Since its inception in 2008, Explorations has been reimagining what guided travel can be. Guests enjoy the camaraderie of a small group paired with built-in flexibility, and shared experiences alongside time to explore independently. From home-hosted meals and hands-on culinary moments to unique accommodations and exclusive access, every detail is carefully curated to elevate the travel experience.

For advisors, Explorations offers a compelling solution for clients seeking premium small group travel with the immersive moments that matter. Backed by Collette’s expert guides, thoughtful tour design, and worry-free travel protection plan — including the ability to cancel up to 24 hours prior to departure for a full refund — Explorations empowers advisors to sell with confidence and meet the expectations of today’s modern traveller.
