With close to 50 new itineraries, Globus is redefining small group travel by offering tours with 50% fewer passengers compared to traditional options.
This change not only caters to the growing demand for exclusivity but also immersion in unique travel experiences and off-the-beaten-path destinations.
What is Globus’ Small Group Discovery tours?
Globus’ Small Group Discovery tours limit group sizes to a maximum of 15 people in Europe and 18 in other parts of the world.
This approach allows for more intimate experiences, giving travellers access to unique locations, private events, personalised service and rich cultural interactions that larger groups often miss.
The appeal of smaller, more exclusive groups is a compelling selling point, especially for travellers who prioritise meaningful connections with the places and people they visit.
“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.
