"At Globus, we offer several styles of touring. You may want to visit multiple countries in one itinerary; we call these Panorama tours. Or maybe you would like to visit destinations that are off-the-beaten-path – and you can with our new Undiscovered tours. Or some may like to make a deeper exploration of a single country on a regional experience. Others like to choose one-way tours, or maybe a tour and a cruise."

Whatever the style, Globus applies the same care and attention to every detail of the journey. Let us connect you with a new world of people, places and experiences that will ignite your imagination.

Aussie expat in Canada

Aussie expat in Canada

We arrived via Europe where the financial crisis hit hard and swallowed our hard earned savings. After a few nights in Vancouver, British Columbia to get our ‘grown up’ jobs done (social security numbers, phones etc.) we boarded a bus that would take us to Whistler. It was everything I imagined it to be, snow covered mountains surrounding a cozy village with endless hotels, shops, bars & restaurants...

Stunningly beautiful Maldives

It started with a dream of huts over tranquil coral filled water with waves slowly hitting the steps below. Waking up to brilliantly coloured tropical fish swimming around you, able to be seen from every window of your luxury villa. Ahhhh a dream I have come to realise many of us seem to share...

If you had to describe an idyllic hideaway destination, how would you describe it?Difficult to get to? Small, peaceful and with almost no tourists? A spectacular view of turquoise water from the dinner table? A banquet served al fresco each night by a local family, with local, organic produce? A bungalow surrounded by pomegranate trees, strawberry patches and pine trees, up high on a hill where the air is fresh?

Canals of France

Canals of France

In October last year my husband and I spent five wonderful days cruising along the Canal du Midi in the sunny south of France. Cruising along by boat is a fantastic way to see the smaller towns and countryside from a waterside perspective at a relaxed pace. It was a different experience and a really pleasant way to escape the cities and wind down and enjoy the relaxed ambience of southern France...

Africa Safari

Africa Safari

I woke early as usual and went out onto our small deck and watched the sun rise over the far wall of Ngorongoro crater. It was stunning and foreshadowed what was to be a very pleasant day: 26 – 27 C. We broke fast and were on the road by 0800 and drove around the crater rim and down this very precarious slope into the crater proper...

Hello Tomorrow

Hello Tomorrow

This long-form video from Emirates has long been a favourite of Jason in our office.

We are all pretty sure that these sorts of experiences are what he is thinking about most days he is in the office. Apart from the great music that soundtracks this ad, the visuals are excellent.

Starting in Dubai and finishing in India, we pass through Milan, Rio de Janeiro, Guangzhou, New York and Australia which each moment linked to the previous through the individual travellers.

As noted by the musical creators, travel is “the catalyst that connects people’s hopes and dreams.”

Sunset in Boracay

Sunset in Boracay

Rain in Melbourne, Australia today had us thinking about the warm weather elsewhere and the beautiful beaches we have been to. Boracay is right at the top of that list.

Always teeming with people, it is warm year round and the sunsets are, quite rightfully, famous. This shot was taken in early April during the Easter celebrations on the island.
