A Story of Hard Work and a Passion for Travel “Our first office was so tiny that if you took a step backwards, you fell down an open hole that was stairs to the basement. Now we are a worldwide company with offices in the United States, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom.” – Alice I. Sullivan, Chairperson of the Collette Board.Collette is about family As his family grew, Dan’s children took on active roles in the company – in sales, tour development, marketing, tour guiding, and in its charitable arm. Working with a team of dedicated employees, they all stayed true to the original vision of expanding travel opportunities for everyone. That tradition continued as Dan’s eldest child, Dan Sullivan Jr., took the reins as President and CEO in 1990 and the company flourished. Collette_HQ_380x250_v2 The third generation of Sullivans entered the company in the early 2000s, and in 2018 Dan Sullivan Jr.’s daughter, Jaclyn Leibl-Cote, became President & Chief Customer Experience Officer. In 2023, after she successfully steered Collette through the global pandemic, Dan proudly turned the CEO role over to Jaclyn and transitioned to Executive Chairman of the Board. Mrs. Leibl-Cote is only the 4th CEO in the company’s history and its first female leader, making Collette one of the rare companies successfully transfer to the 3rd generation of leadership.

There was nothing that I would complain about! Touring the BBC was wonderful. I greatly enjoyed the Tina show. I'm glad to have seen castles, palaces and churches that I had only heard about in the past. Having unscheduled time so I could do a solo visit to the Churchill War Museum was also a plus.

I really liked the Windsor Castle visit. There were lots to see and I really like seeing historic places. Windsor Castle is especially interesting since it is still in use.

Lorraine was amazing. So funny, helpful, and full of knowledge. I had a couple experiences I enjoyed the most. One would be the Tina Turner musical and the other would be the Tower of London tour.
