Most Popular Destinations

Don’t Just See the World, Tour It!

Africa

Between the game-filled grasslands, diverse cultures, and stunning landscapes, no additional stimulants are necessary on Globus African vacations. Dreams run wild here on this incomprehensible continent, while the zebra, cheetah, and buffalo do the same—right alongside breezy 4-wheel drive vehicles custom made for small group experiences and larger-than-life moments. Where else can you get stuck in a zebra traffic jam, make tracks for a photo finish with lions, ride neck and neck with a giraffe, get left in the dust by a cheetah, and yield the right of way to a herd of elephants—all in a day’s commute? In the land that invented reality entertainment, we go beyond the lion’s lair to the thunderous roar of Victoria Falls, beyond the serene sounds of nature to the rhythmic rumble of traditional Maasai dance, and beyond the renowned national parks to the captivating sights of Cape Town. A place to hunt adventure and gather excitement. A place to “glamp” under the stars. And a place to wake to another day of bewilderment.

South & Central America

Lush green jungles. Sparkling turquoise waters. Flamboyant scarlet macaws and dancing blue-footed boobies. A kaleidoscope of adventure awaits when you travel in South America. Even the bubblegum-colored walls of South America’s most storied cities will brighten your outlook. Everything comes alive when you venture below the equator. Exotic flavors awaken the tastebuds, tropical scents tickle the brain, and rhythmic beats persuade even the clumsiest of feet to glide across pulsing dance floors. From Costa Rica, Ecuador, and it’s Galápagos Islands down to Brazil, Peru, Chile and Argentina, every sense will work overtime as you reign atop mysterious mountains, stand before thundering waterfalls, sip cool, fresh caipirinhas and zip over even cooler cloud forests. On every South American vacation, they go beyond the expected for the ultimate jolt of rejuvenation and a totally different version of R&R. We’re talking rum and rumba, rivers and rainforests, ranches and ruins, and Rio and pure revelry. All in living color.

Australia & New Zealand

Head Down Under and experience the magic of Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji, with their breathtaking scenery and vibrant cities. Explore the spectacular Great Barrier Reef, tour around the base of Uluru, take the Ghan train through the heart of Australia, cruise on the stunning Milford Sound in New Zealand, learn about the Māori and Aboriginal cultures, and wander through fascinating cities. Globus South Pacific vacations and Australia trips also introduce you to hidden gems and behind-the-scenes activities, including a welcome ceremony by a local indigenous tribe, a tour of the Bondi Surf Bathers’ Life Saving Club in Sydney, and a unique visit to a kangaroo sanctuary. Let us handle the details, so you can sit back, relax, and experience the wonders of the South Pacific.

Europe

Don’t believe the naysayers. Time travel is real. Especially when you journey back centuries to the Old World with Globus European tours. Down cobblestone lanes and well-worn paths, they venture way past the landmarks to immerse you in Europe’s enchanting landscapes and legends of lore. Yet in the land of fairytale settings, they go beyond storytelling to satisfy your hunger for history. They make you a central character with well-rounded experiences. Get ready to drive a golf ball at Scotland’s legendary St. Andrews, hurl a snowball in the majestic Swiss Alps, strike a billiards ball in a cozy Irish pub, or sip wine on the grounds of a Tuscan castle. Hands on and feet first is how we roll through the storied hills, quaint villages and vibrant cities of Europe. While we skip the lines at ancient castles and cathedrals to whisk you back in time, we also bypass the main thoroughfares to catapult you toward the emerging chefs, artists and artisans who will define the Europe of tomorrow. Beyond the predictable. Beyond the expected. Beyond the guidebooks. It’s the only way to travel through time.

Asia

Unexpected joy is waiting for you behind every pagoda, down every hutong, and inside every bowl brimming with Japanese noodles on an exhilarating Asia vacation. Whether you hop on a rickshaw, cyclo, or tuktuk, you’re in for the ride of your life. Ancient traditions and modern marvels will delight, charm and thrill you, as will the exciting ways to embrace them. Join the festivities as you practice the art of calligraphy in Japan or gracefully cast a net into the fish-filled waters of Vietnam. Going beyond the neon-lit streets of Tokyo, the electrifying experiences keep coming as we take you farther into the Far East – leading you inside the sacred temples, up to the mystic mountaintops, and down to the floating villages below. A daily celebration of customs, culture and cuisine awaits in surprising Asia.
