Collette Vacations has been wholesaling escorted trips to over 50 countries, including the United States (USA) for 80 years. Collette Vacations knows what it takes to make your trip special. Check out their tours to Costa Rica, Panama, and Brazil.
Escorted Vacations have gotten a bad rap in years past. Some of you may remember the saying, "If it's Tuesday, it must be Belgium." However things have changed with more leisure time available so you have more time to explore on your own, or you can take optional sightseeing tours. Escorted tours are great if you are visiting a foreign country for the first time or feel uncomfortable because of language barriers. They also allow you to see more than if you are on your own -- and you get to see the best of the best. They also usually cost less than an independent vacation, because contracted rates have been established in advance with the promise to airlines and hotels of a certain amount of business in the coming year.
We are pleased to offer you booking online availability for travel to Central America and South America with Travel Impressions, Globus Journeys, and Collette Vacations. Browse their sites for up-to-the-minute hot deals. If you do not want to book online, call 877-658-2582 for assistance.
