A SAFE & WARM WELCOMEGlobus will conduct tour check-in procedures and pre-trip health screenings to offer guests a safe start and peace of mind throughout the journey. This includes proof of vaccination for all guests.
BLENDING CULTURAL PROXIMITY WITH SOCIAL DISTANCEThere may be times on tour or on the motorcoach when social distancing is required. We will take care in assuring any local guidelines are followed in a safe and comfortable way for our guests. For any cases where masks are required due to local guidelines, we ask that guests bring their own approved N95 (FFP2) masks for their own comfort and safety. Our wireless listening technology enables safe distances between our guests and other travelers during excursions.

Additionally, regular guest checks are conducted, and, when required by local guidelines, masks will be worn by our guests and by our team when accompanying guests. In all other cases, masks are optional for guests.

Globus are further reducing risk with hands-free service, meaning all self-services replaced by staff, including buffet meals replaced with table service. Globus will also ensure hand sanitizing is available throughout each trip, on coach and in hotels.

Question: Where would the tour depart from?
Question: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?
Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
Our tour director was amazing! This trip met every expectation we had. We are exhausted but happy!
Affordable tours handled every detail promptly and efficiently. Globus was exceptional. We had 44 people on our tour but it was so organized and personalized that numbers didn't matter. Never had to wait in line. Our tour director Simone and bus driver Mimo were exceptional
European hotel rooms provide ineffective air conditioning. They should consider adding ceiling fans if their a/c is inadequate.
A couple of the hotels were not up to the standards of the others. For the first day, it would have been better if the hotel was closer to the city center.
Everything was perfect. We had a trip of a lifetime. Would strongly recommend Globus tour to everyone. Our tour guide and busdriver were exceptional. Our agent did a fantastic job, nothing went wrong it was perfect. Thank You.
This trip far exceeded my expectations. Oh all of the Ahhhh.. moments & the people that were on this tour were fabulous. Our Tour Guide & Driver were excellent. Thank You
Excellent trip! Excellent tour guide!! Globus should keep him on!

This was our second tour with Globus, and we had a wonderful time and were very happy with the whole experience. The covid thing was always in the background and some countries were changing their rules as we traveled, and Globus kept our tour director fully informed and we were able to work thru all the problems. Had a wonderful time. all of the problems encountered were small and not of Globus's control, ".....the eggs are cold...." type of thing. Probably the best tour we ever took, as so many other tours were not running we had many opportunities because the "normal" crowds were not there. and we had the place to ourselves.
