Devoted to providing a travel style for every type of traveler, Globus is excited to go small in a great, big way! Introducing new Small Group Discovery tours for 2025! An entirely new way to tour, Globus Small Group Discovery itineraries were specifically designed for travelers who crave the intimacy of small group travel yet want worldwide experiences in epic proportions.
Globus Small Group Discovery tours afford travelers unique accommodations, exclusive excursions and special access throughout Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, South America and the South Pacific.
How many people constitutes a small group tour?
With an average group size of 15 (18 outside of Europe), these new tours offer more freedom, more flexibility and more room to roam the ruins of Italy, the rainforests of Costa Rica, the pagodas of Japan and the preserves of Kenya, leading travelers to private wine tastings, cooking classes, art classes and quaint estates along the way.
In total, in 2025, Globus is unveiling more than 50(!) Small Group Discovery tours throughout Europe, North America and exotic destinations (from Kenya to Costa Rica; Colombia to Cambodia and Australia to Japan). Together, with small group departure dates on Globus Europe and North America tours as well as Independent Tours, Globus will now offer the widest range of vacations catering to smaller groups: Nearly 250 tours, totaling over 5,000 departures, which equals nearly 75 percent (75%) of the Globus portfolio. And that’s BIG!
