For adventurers seeking a more relaxed experience, Escapes by Globus offers the perfect solution.

These off-season tours provide all the highlights Globus is known for – bucket list destinations, premium accommodation and expert guides – at a fraction of the usual cost.

With Escapes, you’ll enjoy the charm of off-season travel while experiencing the same high standards travellers have trusted for nearly a century.

The Appeal of Off-Season Travel

Peak travel seasons can be overwhelming – crowds pack attractions, prices soar and the pressure to squeeze in every activity diminishes the joy of travel.

Escapes by Globus addresses these challenges by offering tours during quieter months.

Imagine wandering through Italy’s ancient ruins without crowds or strolling through Paris when locals reclaim the streets and life slows down – this is the magic of off-season travel.

The off-season varies depending on the destination but generally spans winter, early spring and late autumn.

These months offer benefits beyond fewer tourists – mild weather, cultural festivals and opportunities to explore hidden gems often overlooked by peak-season travellers.

Without the crowds, landmarks and attractions become more enjoyable, giving you time to truly connect with each place you visit.

Exceptional Value Without Compromises

A major draw of Escapes by Globus is the value. Off-season travel naturally lowers costs for flights, hotels and services, enabling Globus to offer premium tours at affordable prices.

Guests enjoy centrally located accommodation, private transfers and curated excursions – but at a lower cost than peak-season tours.

The quality of the experience remains high, with VIP access to key attractions and expert Tour Directors managing the logistics.

Whether you’re enjoying Tuscan cuisine, exploring castles in Ireland, or wandering through Athens, every Escapes tour delivers premium experiences at unbeatable prices.

Unique Seasonal Perks

Travelling off-season unlocks special experiences unavailable during peak periods. Europe’s winter months offer festive holiday traditions, snow-dusted landscapes and cosy cafés.

In southern Europe, destinations like Spain, Portugal and Italy enjoy milder weather during winter and early spring.

Visitors can explore historic sites and hidden gems without the usual crowds. These quieter months also provide opportunities to connect with locals, who are more relaxed and welcoming.

Even in cooler seasons, unexpected treasures abound. Greece’s archaeological sites are just as captivating in winter, while Ireland’s green landscapes retain their vivid beauty in early spring – without the summer crowds. Escapes tours are designed to reveal these hidden gems and seasonal delights.

Itineraries Tailored for Every Traveller

Escapes by Globus offers flexible itineraries to suit every traveller. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a family trip, or travelling solo, there’s an itinerary to fit your style.

These tours emphasise immersive cultural experiences, outdoor adventures and culinary delights, giving travellers more than just surface-level sightseeing.

Here are a few popular itineraries:

  • Italian Escape: Explore Rome, Florence and Venice without the usual crowds. Discover landmarks like the Colosseum and the Vatican at a relaxed pace.
  • British Escape: Tour England and Scotland, experiencing London’s vibrancy and the Highlands’ winter beauty.
  • Greek Escape with Iconic Cruise: Wander through Athens and the Greek islands, savouring ancient history and delicious Mediterranean cuisine under crisp blue skies.

A Great Choice for Solo Travellers

Solo adventurers can enjoy high-quality travel experiences at no extra cost, with the added bonus of expert guides and like-minded companions. Whether you’re looking for independence or social interaction, these tours provide both.
