From uncovering the hidden wine doors of Florence with a local expert to luxury glamping in the heart of Montana, Globus Small Group Discovery Tours offer your clients unique local experiences.

These tours blend exciting excursions with the comfort of staying in unique places like a converted Franciscan monastery or a 350-year-old hacienda in downtown Santa Fe.
