This activity is now closed for questions

If you’ve travelled across the globe, just starting to see the world, or even if you’re just starting to plan your first ever travel experience, Collette wants to help educate you on the ins and outs of escorted touring (travelling in a group to various destinations via a guided tour). Tour designer and travel expert Diana Ditto will be here to answer all your travel related questions.

Here’s some information about Diana: “Diana, the Director of Product Design for Collette, often spends more than 100 days a year travelling. Her job is to seek new and incredible travel experiences to build into Collette’s escorted tours, offering unique travel moments you can’t find on your own. To do this, Diana speaks with industry experts, local travel guides, and tour guests, researching and handcrafting bespoke travel experiences for Collette guided tours with her team.”

Perhaps you have a Collette trip coming up and would like a bit more information on how it will all work? Maybe you’ve been thinking about going on an escorted tour for a while and want to know where to start? Or maybe you’d like to know where the best destinations are for touring?

Ask Diana your questions about touring on the thread below and we’ll select 10-15 questions for her to answer and post her responses as soon as possible. All who leave a question below (regardless of whether it’s chosen or not) will be entered into a prize draw where one Gransnetter will win a £150 voucher of their choice (from a list).

Thanks and good luck with the prize draw

I'd worry about the pace of the tours and how intense they are. How flexible can tours be and are they fit for all abilities?

Where and how is it best to book a guided tour,One that is real or even the best for your money.

Is it something for the whole family

I've always fancied a guided tour but I have a nervous system disorder and although I mostly manage I sometimes have to suddenly rest or get out of the sun. I can't always walk as fast as most people. Would there be any way around this?

Is there normally time within the typical itinerary for people to go off and explore/shop/relax on their own?

I would love to take my family on a tour to get to see more of the real country. My boys are 4 and 7. Are there many companies which offer tours for families?

What are the best places for doing guided tours with children? Is it something that is suitable for young ones to come along to? If so, where are the best places to go?
