The title of the tour says it all European Highlights with Globus– This is one of the most efficient and busy tours that gives you the highlights of the most popular places in 4 different countries: London, Paris, Lucerne, Bergamo, Florence, Venice and Rome. My companion was my beautiful wife who made my experience that much more pleasing.
I am speechless, but I have to let you how amazing this trip was! I went on the European Splendor with Trafalgar and had the fortune of bringing my mother along with me. I picked this particular itinerary because it was all the countries we always had on the bucket list! We started in Rome to start this memorable trip.

I recently took the Best of Morocco with Trafalgar Tours with two friends.
Our tour began with a drive up the coast from the bustling city of Casablanca to the capital city of Rabat where we had the opportunity to visit the Mausoleum of Mohammed V which contains his tomb and those of his two sons, King Hassan II and Prince Abdallah. Across from the mausoleum is the Hassan Tower which was designed by Jabir ibn Allah an astronomer and mathematician so also designed the Giralda of Seville. Both towers were inspired by the Koutoubia Mosque in Marrakesh and the site received World Heritage status in 2012 by UNESCO.
A new form of travel is emerging. Tour companies care more about giving their clients the chance to make genuine experiences and create memories, rather than just see the “big” stuff. In 2017, Globus noticed that Italy, once the busiest tourist spot, had become the least popular destination out of Europe. Chief marketer, Steve Born, realized the reason for the decline was that once people visited the popular attractions, such as Venice, Florence, Rome, there was no reason to go back. So they decided to switch things up and create undiscovered tours with Globus.
Today’s India with Globus journey started with a trip to the Red Fort and the Presidential Palace which I was able to see the largest towers in India. This palace started construction in 1210 and took two more successors to complete it until around 1350. This was located in Old Delhi. Old Delhi is a much poorer region with a lot of older dilapidated homes. The Red Fort is Delhi first ancient city.
