Globus Introduces New, Small Group Discovery Tours

Contact Your Travel Expert

The world’s largest tour operator is going small. Globus is transforming the group tour landscape with the introduction of a new style of guided tours. It’s unveiling more than 50 inaugural Small Group Discovery tours worldwide in 2025 that are half the size of its traditional group tours. 

“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, South America and the South Pacific” says Globus. 

With an average group size of 15 (18 outside of Europe), Small Group Discovery 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, opening the door for travelers to private wine tastings, cooking classes, art classes and quaint estates along the way.
