The Story Behind Collette

Founded in 1918 by Jack Collette just after World War I, Collette Tours began with a simple goal: to make the world’s greatest destinations accessible to curious travelers. When Jack retired in 1962, his brother-in-law, Arthur McWilliam, and long-time employee, Dan Sullivan, took over ushering the company into a new era of innovation while holding onto its core values—exceptional customer service, convenience, and giving back. Today, the company remains in the Sullivan family, with the third generation at the helm, continuing the tradition of creating immersive, personalized travel experiences for people just like you.
