TRANSPORTATION
NOTES
•Maximum enjoyment of this vacation requires walking on cobblestone streets, uneven pathways, and climbing stairs. Elevations exceeding 10,000 feet can make even modest exertion a challenge. Maximum elevation on this tour is 12,200 ft.
• For the Amazon adventure, guests should be prepared for eco-lodging due to their remote nature in the rainforest. The itinerary in the Amazon is subject to favorable weather conditions and water levels. Water levels are historically low during the draught months of September – November. When conditions are unfavorable, alternative eco-lodging and excursions will be provided. Further, guests should be prepared for sustained walking, possibly muddy conditions, and have the ability to get into/out of small watercrafts such as canoes and small fishing boats.

Globus Cares
A Century of Dedication. A Century of Discovery.
From humble beginnings on the shores of Lake Lugano, the Globus family of brands (Globus, Cosmos and Avalon Waterways) was born from a single rowboat and a bold vision – to share the wonders of the world with others. What began as a local operation has grown into a global journey, still guided by the same values of connection, care, and curiosity.
As a Swiss family-owned company, our legacy is deeply personal – built on trust, tradition, and a passion for travel that has been passed down through generations. For nearly 100 years, we’ve empowered travelers to connect with cultures, explore responsibly, and appreciate the rich traditions that shape our shared human experience.
Lighting A Path to a Better Tomorrow.
With every trip, we’re not only opening minds – we’re opening hearts. That’s the mission of the Lighthouse Project: Our commitment to making a positive impact by reducing our footprint and giving back to the people, places, and planet we visit.
From preserving endangered wildlife to supporting women’s livelihoods in Cambodia, and from protecting national parks to partnering with sustainable travel pioneers, we are proud to support organizations that shine a light on a brighter future.
Our Impact Areas
Keeping the World in the Best Light.
We’re committed to conservation at every turn – protecting waterways, preserving wildlife, and spotlighting organizations that fight for the Earth’s future–keeping in mind that no matter how far we travel, we share the same home.
Helping the Communities of the World Shine.
We believe the true magic of travel lies in human connection. Through the Lighthouse Project, we engage with local initiatives that uplift individuals and empower communities around the globe who share their worlds with us.
Keeping the Lights on For Generations to Come.
We stand tall for the stories, structures, and sites that shape our world. From historical monuments to cultural treasures, we invest in preserving sacred places and wide-open spaces–so future generations can reflect, learn, and grow.
Why Travel with Globus?
Globus takes care of the “how” so you can experience the “wow.”
It’s a big world out there—with dizzying options for sightseeing, transportation and accommodations. Why spend hours trying to figure it out on your own when we’ve spent nearly a century perfecting the art of travel planning? With one-stop shopping, you can secure an exclusive experience with all the right inclusions.
Explore the Less Traveled
Beyond the Guidebooks.
While it might be the iconic sights of the world that first entice us to pack our bags for adventure, it’s often something quite different that beckons us to return—the towns with no traffic, the coasts with no crowds, the nooks with no noise. Globus designs the perfect balance of the hero sights you mustn’t miss and the hidden gems you otherwise would, offering a deeper glimpse into the world’s most intriguing destinations. Join us to veer off the beaten path, break away from the packs, and even break bread with the locals for an unparalleled vacation beyond the guidebooks that you couldn’t create on your own.
Skip the Lines
Don’t Miss the Must Sees.
Why stand in line to catch a fleeting glimpse of ancient ruins and remarkable historic sites that have been standing for centuries? Globus gives you VIP access with an expert Local Guide to go deeper, get closer, and soak it all in. From the Sistine Chapel to Sydney Harbour, you’ll explore the world’s most iconic locations without getting lost in a crowd or waiting in line. Don’t just file past masterpieces or magnificent views with only a hurried look at centuries-old treasures. Experience the world’s extraordinary sights—and historic sites—from Europe to Australia to South America and beyond!
Tour Directors & Local Guides
A Friend in Every City.
Join us and a few of our friends in your next dream destination. After all, we’ve spent nearly a century making friends in virtually every city and country in the world who share local secrets like where to find the best scone, stein, or sake; the best people-watching table; or the best view of wide-open spaces. Every Globus vacation includes local experts to share the stories behind the sights and local favorites you won’t find in the guidebooks. Globus Tour Directors and Local Guides hail from the region through which you’re traveling. No one is more familiar, passionate, or eager to share insider knowledge than our local pros!
Local Favorites
A Local Slice of Life.
When in Rome—or London, Paris, Manhattan, or Melbourne—we arrange for you to do as the locals do, not just what the tourists do. In every itinerary, we include hands-on, authentic experiences for a true taste of a day in the life. Board a private water taxi through the Grand Canal of Venice, greet a Grecian sunset with a glass of ouzo, find a hidden city in the clouds in Peru, or take painting lessons from nature with an Australian Outback sunrise. Whichever path you choose to explore, you’re sure to step into someone else’s shoes and experience the world from an insider’s perspective on a Globus tour.
Personalize Your Vacation
Adventure, A la Carte.
Maybe you’re an art lover, a foodie, or a history buff. Perhaps you’re moved by music, the theater, or the great outdoors. We offer a creative menu of optional excursions and activities—tailored to a variety of fitness levels—so you can make your adventure with your own personal passions and preferences. Each Globus excursion and activity has been tested by us and handpicked just for you! You never have to choose between included and optional excursions, since optional activities fit seamlessly with your vacation schedule, and we build freedom into every itinerary so you can stroll, meander, and linger!
Included Meals
Craveable Destinations.
A pan of zesty paella. A bowl of creamy chowder. A cup of chilled ceviche. A cone of creamy gelato. One of the most rewarding ways to experience a different culture is through its unique cuisine. We offer the right mix of included meals and on-your-own dining exploration for a well-balanced culinary journey. Stumbling upon that quiet candlelit café, lively street vendor, or bustling local market can be some of the most memorable moments of your vacation. The best part of waking up is knowing that breakfast is ready! The most important meal of the day is included on every Globus vacation so you can easily fuel up to feed your passions.
Hand-selected Hotels
Places of Dreams.
Goodbye scouring endless online reviews. Hello pre-screened and hand-selected hotels near the sights and views you’ve always dreamed of. We’ve personally visited and reserved the best rooms around the world based on location, comfort, and style—all first-class and above and many with rich histories that are destinations in their own right. Check in perfectly relaxed knowing we’ve already checked everything out. We arrange convenient baggage handling along most points in your journey to make your travels just a little lighter. In most cases, we handle the heavy lifting and take care of the tips, too, so all you have to do is settle in!
Travel in Style
Enjoy the Journey.
Forget everything you think you know about “bus tours” and think “on tour” instead. Like your favorite rock stars, you’ll travel from city to city and village to village in the most modern of comforts. From high-speed and mountain trains to river cruise ships and ferries, you’ll see the world from a variety of exhilarating vantage points. Aboard our private, first-class coaches, you'll enjoy large windows, plush seats, ample legroom, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and an emergency restroom. If you prefer the VIP treatment (and who doesn’t?) we can also arrange your flights to and from home with airport transfers for a totally seamless vacation.
