About Globus

Introducing the Globus Lighthouse Project - an illuminating initiative where we can all come together to tread lightly and give generously for the globe's greater good.
Focussing on People, Planet and Places, we make every effort to conserve and preserve in each destination we visit by helping to protect the waterways, wild places, and wildlife.
We are dedicated to protecting, respecting and supporting the extraordinary communities of the world as well as improving the individual lives within them. ....less

With almost a century of escorting travellers to nearly every destination in the world, we’ve learned a few things about time and money when it comes to touring. In fact, choosing a tour over independent travel can save you up to 30% of what you’d spend planning a holiday on your own. The expert travel planners at Globus can even share the world’s most iconic destinations at even greater savings when you choose an Escapes Tour in the “off season.” And while we escort you to the front of the line at the world’s most popular sites, we also know the importance of free time to explore at your leisure. Save time and money, headaches and hassles, and your nerves with a Globus tour to see the world without seeing red! ....less

We’ve spent over 90 years planning your holiday. When you select a Globus holiday, you’re choosing experience, passion, and perfection. Our dedication began over nine decades ago when a young Antonio Mantegazza became inspired to share the stories of his home while using his family’s rowboat to transport lumber across beautiful Lake Lugano in Switzerland. He soon began transporting tourists instead, and what began on a spring day in 1928 blossomed into the worldwide name in travel. ....less

During peak travel seasons, you could find yourself waiting in line for hours to see famous attractions when going it on your own.
We think your time is more valuable than that! Globus tours take the tedious, time-consuming queues out of the equation with VIP access to the world’s most iconic sights. Enjoy the perks of touring with included pre-planned itineraries that allow you to skip the lines and sail through popular sights with a spring in your step! ....less

Only escorted tours include a Tour Director—an expert who lives and breathes your destination and shares their knowledge and know-how with you. More than logistical navigators, our Tour Directors are dynamic narrators. Anyone can notice interesting landscapes or architecture. But a seasoned Tour Director brings those sights to life with the fascinating stories behind them. ....less

A SAFE & WARM WELCOME:
We will conduct tour check-in procedures and pre-trip health screenings to offer guests a safe start and peace of
mind throughout the journey. This includes proof of vaccination for all guests. See our complete Health & Safety
Pre-Trip Screening Instructions on our website for full details.
BLENDING CULTURAL PROXIMITY WITH SOCIAL DISTANCE:
There may be times on tour or on the motorcoach when social distancing is required. We will take care in assuring any
local guidelines are followed in a safe and comfortable way for our guests. For any cases where masks are required due
to local guidelines, we ask that guests bring their own approved N95 (FFP2) masks for their own comfort and safety.
Our wireless listening technology enables safe distances between our guests and other travelers during excursions.
FOCUS ON GUEST AND TEAM-MEMBER HEALTH:
To ensure a healthy environment for each of our guests and our team, our Tour Directors, Local Hosts, and
motocoach drivers are fully vaccinated, and we are also requiring that all travelers are fully vaccinated before joining
our trips. Additionally, we will conduct regular guest checks, and, when required by local guidelines, masks will be
worn by our guests and by our team when accompanying guests. In all other cases, masks are optional for guests.
TOUCHING HEARTS, NOT HANDS:
Traveling with the Globus family of brands removes many of the “touch points” of travel, including luggage handling,
check in/check out interaction, expedited entry into attractions and more. We are further reducing risk with handsfree services, including some self-services now performed by staff. We will also ensure hand sanitizing is available
throughout each trip, on coach, and in hotels.
COMMITMENT TO CLEAN:
As a part of our commitment to clean, we are requiring enhanced cleaning procedures with our hotel partners, on
our motorcoaches, vehicles, and throughout every trip, including additional daily disinfecting procedures that go
above and beyond our already strict health and safety procedures. And our motorcoaches are equipped with air
filters that clean the air as well as provide constant ventilation.
PARTNERS IN DISCOVERY AND IN HEALTH:
The Globus family of brands has strict health and safety protocols, which have been in place for years, focused on
ensuring all aspects of our operation—from vehicles and equipment used on trip to excursions and hotel procedures.
This process will continue with new, elevated health and safety checks, to maintain our promise that each touchpoint of our tours and cruises are considered in our commitment to gue ....less

Navigating a world of foreign taxis, rental cars, train depots, and subway stations makes most travellers cringe. And big city traffic? Forget it!

Simply put, a tour is a perfectly planned holiday. Planning a holiday on your own is not easy. From the stress of researching the right reservations and transportation options to navigating decisions on how to explore new destinations, travel planning can take the fun out of finding the perfect holiday. On a tour, you never have to worry about getting from point A to B, where to sleep, or what to see. Touring takes the hassle out of travel planning, local customs and currency, and complicated logistics so you just enjoy the ride.
After all, we’ve been sharing the world’s destinations with discriminating travellers for almost a century!
