Why Book Globus Guided Tours Through a Travel Advisor

You've decided you want to explore Europe on a Globus escorted tour. You've browsed the Globus website, you're overwhelmed by the options, and you're wondering: should I just book it myself online?

Here's the short answer: booking through a certified Globus travel advisor costs you nothing extra — and gets you a lot more.

Let me explain exactly why.

Globus is one of the world's most respected names in escorted tour travel. Founded in 1928, they've been crafting guided vacations for nearly 100 years. A Globus tour typically includes:

• Expert local guides who bring history and culture to life
• Hand-picked hotels in central locations
• Included meals at select restaurants
• Seamless transportation between destinations
• Pre-arranged sightseeing at major landmarks

In short, Globus handles the logistics so you can focus on the experience.

This is the most important point. Globus pays travel advisors a commission — which means my services are completely free to you. You pay the same price (or sometimes less) whether you book through me or directly through Globus.

So why wouldn't you use an expert?

Globus offers dozens of itineraries across 70+ countries. The difference between a "good" tour and the "right" tour for you comes down to details: pace, group size, included meals, departure dates, and the specific hotels used.

As a certified Globus travel advisor, I've studied these itineraries in depth. I can tell you which tours are better for first-time visitors versus seasoned travelers, which ones have more free time built in, and which departures tend to sell out fastest.

Globus offers several product lines:

• Globus — classic escorted tours with expert guides
• Cosmos — value-priced tours for budget-conscious travelers
• Monograms — independent travel with hotel and transfers arranged
• Avalon Waterways — river cruises (also under the Globus family)

Choosing the right product for your travel style is something I do every day. I'll ask the right questions and match you with the best fit.

Through Better Choice Travel, you can take advantage of our layaway plan — meaning you can lock in your Globus tour today and pay over time. This is especially valuable for longer, more expensive itineraries where you want to secure your spot early.

From seat assignments to special dietary requests to travel insurance recommendations, I manage the details that fall through the cracks when you book alone. If something goes wrong before or during your trip, you have a real person to call — not a customer service queue.

Globus tours cover virtually every corner of the world. Some of the most popular itineraries include:

Europe

• Italy's highlights: Rome, Florence, Venice, the Amalfi Coast
• Ireland and Scotland: castles, cliffs, and countryside
• The Best of Eastern Europe: Prague, Vienna, Budapest

North America

• National Parks of the American West
• Canadian Rockies and Glacier National Park
• New England Fall Foliage

• Japan: Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima, and beyond
• Australia and New Zealand
• Southeast Asia highlights

South America & Africa

• Peru and Machu Picchu
• South Africa safari and Cape Town
• Egypt: the Nile, pyramids, and ancient temples

First-time escorted tour travelers are often surprised by how much freedom they have. Globus tours are not rigid, military-style marches from one sight to the next. Most itineraries include:

• Included sightseeing at major landmarks with your guide
• Free time built into most days to explore on your own
• Optional excursions you can add for deeper experiences
• Evening leisure to dine where you choose

The group size on most Globus tours is 30–44 passengers — large enough to be social, small enough to feel personal.

Globus escorted tours are ideal if you:

• Want to see a lot in a limited amount of time
• Prefer not to worry about logistics, transportation, or hotel bookings
• Are traveling solo and want built-in companionship
• Are visiting a complex destination (Egypt, Japan, Peru) where local expertise matters
• Want the security of a structured itinerary with flexibility built in
