The following sponsored article is supplied by Collette.

Collette, approved Probus Member Benefits Scheme partner, currently have a sale of up to 15% on all tours. Plus, their cancellation waiver provides flexibility to change tour/date up to 45 days prior or cancel for any reason up to 24 hours before departure.

Italy's spectacular Amalfi Coast

Collette Tours have released their 2022-23 itineraries and have two significant benefits for travellers.

Benefit 1: Limited time discount

First – a limited time discount applies to a huge range of tour destinations and dates. These are normally much more restricted in choice. The sale is between 10% and 15% on all tours, saving hundreds of dollars.

Our top tip for savings is their Classic tours in June in Europe (think long, long summer days and before the European school holidays) – all saving maximum 15%.

Simply choose your tour and deposit ($395pp) before 30 November 2021.

Benefit 2: 24-hour cancellation waiver

Second, Collette now include their cancellation waiver enabling guests to cancel their tour for any reason up to 24 hours prior to departure and only forfeit their deposit.

In addition, guests can change their tour location or departure date up to 45 days prior free of charge.

Collette also have an excellent policy whereby if the company cannot provide the tour then they issue a full refund (dollars not vouchers or credits) for the value of the tour arrangements – this resulted in well over US$150m being refunded worldwide through the last two years.

Book a tour with Collette

The Collette range of tours, style and pacing is designed for today’s traveller with free time built in, hotels in excellent locations and optimum transport.

There are a host of new small group ‘explorations’ tours that have been thoroughly researched and packed with inclusive value. For example, the Peaks of Europe tour, which travels from Mont Blanc to the Dolomites over 11 nights, includes a journey up the Jungfraujoch and 2 nights in each location before a final night in a gorgeous villa outside Venice.

If Italy is on your post-lockdown list, there are some 19 tours from which to choose. Many are very focused on one area – so, for example, the 12-night Sicily and its Isles small group tour stays overnight in Salina on the Aeolian Islands.

Collette offer an additional $400pp saving off a second tour… and a third or fourth. After all, we are all overdue that epic trip!
