You’ve decided. It’s time to go on a trip with the best travel companions in the world: your family. Multigenerational travel is one of the most meaningful ways to create lasting memories, but planning a trip that works for everyone takes thoughtful coordination.

Collette has been helping families travel together since 1918, and we know firsthand that the best trips balance structure, flexibility, and time to connect.

And today, families have even more ways to travel together — including private touring, a way to take that shared experience and make it entirely your own.

Start With What Matters Most: Time Together

The beauty of multigenerational travel is simple: stepping away from everyday responsibilities and focusing on being together. Guided tours make this even easier by handling all the logistics while your family focuses on the moments that matter.

For families who want an even more personalized experience, private touring takes that ease one step further. With your own group of 10 or more travelers, you can enjoy a shared Collette itinerary exclusively with your family.

Coordinating Schedules

Planning across generations means juggling school calendars, work commitments, and everything in between. Open communication is key, and aligning schedules early helps avoid stress later.

Private touring can also help simplify coordination. Once your group aligns on dates, you can secure a single departure tailored to your family’s timeline, rather than fitting into pre-set group dates.

Choosing the Right Pace for Everyone

Every family includes a mix of energy levels and travel styles. Some want adventure; others want relaxation. Finding the right activity level is essential to keeping everyone happy.

With a Collette private tour, your group can move at a pace that feels right for you — whether that means lingering longer in a favorite destination, prioritizing certain experiences, or simply enjoying more free time together between activities.

Picking a Destination With Meaning

Where you go matters just as much as how you travel. Maybe it’s tracing your ancestry, exploring a bucket-list destination, or simply discovering somewhere new together.

Collette offers more than 170 tours across all seven continents, giving families plenty of inspiration.

And with private touring, you can choose the exact itinerary that fits your family’s shared interests, then experience it exclusively together — from European heritage trips to Costa Rican adventures.

Finding a Group Size That Works for You

Multigenerational trips often mean big groups — and that can be both a joy and a challenge.

The good news? Collette’s private touring is designed with this in mind. With 10 or more travelers, your family can turn a standard tour into a private experience, making it ideal for reunions, milestone celebrations, or simply getting everyone together.

Instead of coordinating multiple bookings, your group travels as one.

Let the Experts Handle the Details

One of the biggest benefits of guided travel is that everything is taken care of (accommodations, transportation, experiences, etc.) so you don’t have to manage the logistics.

Private touring keeps that same expert planning in place, while adding a more intimate, personalized feel. Your Collette Tour Manager, local insights, and thoughtfully designed itinerary are still there — just tailored to your group.

Why Families Are Choosing Private Touring

Multigenerational travel is on the rise, and so is the desire for more customized experiences.

Collette’s private touring offers families:

•    More time together as a single group
•    A shared experience designed around your travel style
•    The ease of guided travel without the need to coordinate with other travelers

Or, as we like to think of it: all the benefits of a tour combined with the feeling of traveling on your own terms.

Travel Together Your Way

No matter how you plan your trip, the goal is the same — meaningful time together.

But if your family is looking to take that experience further, Collette’s private touring offers a way to transform a great multigenerational trip into something truly personal.

Because when it comes to family travel, it’s not just about where you go — it’s about who you share it with.
