Small group travel has never been so popular.
Our wonderful partner Collette has shifted their focus globally to small group explorations with an average of 19 passengers (maximum 24).
With this smaller number of like-minded travellers, you stay in boutique hotels in great locations, you meet and interact with locals, and you benefit from a journey designed by people who live there and a trip paced to help you soak in the region you are travelling through.
Take advantage of Collette’s early booking special – book and deposit before August 31 for travel from September 1, 2026 all the way through to June 30, 2028.
So, if you have travel plans forming, now is the time to act! Save up to 20 per cent on any small group tour worldwide.
Also, when booking a small group exploration, you will receive a free transfer from Tamborine Mountain to Brisbane airport return!
Also, as a Virtuoso agency we can exclusively offer you a further $300 per person credit towards pre and post tour accommodation.
There is a wealth of journeys to choose from – 60 itineraries worldwide are on special.
Explore the Mediterranean islands of Sardinia and Coscia, which along with Malta currently make up the ‘hot’ destinations to visit in Europe, think fewer travellers and smaller villages and towns to discover.
Travel through the alpine peaks of Switzerland and Austria or perhaps you have longed to visit the Balkan states.
Collette also explores the favourite destinations of Italy, the UK France and the Iberian Peninsula.
If you dream of chasing the Northern Lights, there are options in Iceland or Alaska.
Visit Big Sky Country in Montana and witness Old Faithful blow at Yellowstone. Winter in the Yukon or journey through the Canadian Rockies. Further south explore the wilderness of Costa Rica, the ruins on Machu Picchu or the white continent of Antarctica. Safari in Africa or enjoy the cherry blossom season in Japan.
Recognising that not everyone is the same, Collette offer included select touring on some days where you chose what you would like to do; they also build in some down time where you can potter around on your own.
Enjoy curated local experiences where you interact with locals or perhaps have fun at a cooking school. There are lots of inclusions in these hand crafted journeys.
Collette covers most places in the world.
We have a number of clients who have travelled with them and have rebooked – that is a great recommendation to me (they also receive a past passenger discount).
Established over 100 years ago this trustworthy company offers explorations to just about anywhere you imagination can take you.
Travelling Places would be delighted to help you find your perfect journey.
