Leading coach touring brand Globus, part of Globus family of brands (GFOB), is thrilled to introduce Small Group Discovery tours! An entirely new type of tour specifically designed for travellers who crave the intimacy of small group travel, Globus is unveiling more than 45 Small Group Discovery tours across the globe next year. Devoted to providing a travel style for every type of traveller, Globus is excited to go small in a big way in 2025!
“Our new Small Group Discovery tours were built from the ground-up, specifically for small groups, with unique accommodations, exclusive excursions and special access throughout Europe, North America, Asia, Africa and South America” said Gai Tyrrell, managing director, Asia Pacific at Globus family of brands.
Half the group. Even more fun! With an average group size of 15 (18 outside of Europe), Small Group Discovery tours offer more freedom, more flexibility and more room to roam the ruins of Italy, the rainforests of Costa Rica, the pagodas of Japan and the preserves of Kenya, leading travellers to private wine tastings, cooking classes, art classes and quaint estates along the way.
