As the gold standard in first-class escorted travel for more than 80 years, Globus tours puts you in the holiday spirit with more included sightseeing and inside visits of the world’s most awe-inspiring places. You won’t just see the attractions- you’ll get unique cultural experiences and little-known insights from expert Tour Directors. You’ll become immersed in the essence of your destinations as you stroll side-by-side with the locals through centuries- old Christmas markets, sampling Glühwein, Lebkuchen, beiglie, and other seasonal delicacies. With Globus tours, you stay in hotels where quality stands the test of time and location is paramount. Plus, you’ll enjoy more inclusions in the package price, which means fewer “out of pocket” expenses.
The Case for Escorted Group Tours
After 35+ years in the travel business, our advisors at Atlas Travel Center have seen every style of vacation — and we’ll be honest: escorted tours are one of the most underrated options for travelers who want a rich, stress-free experience. The logistics are handled. The guide expertise is built in. And the ability to make meaningful connections with fellow travelers is something independent itineraries simply can’t replicate.
That said, not all tour operators are created equal. The difference between a budget coach tour and a premium escorted journey is significant — in accommodation quality, guide knowledge, itinerary pacing, and the caliber of included experiences. Our job at Atlas is to match you to the right operator for your expectations and budget, whether that’s the inclusive luxury of Tauck, the value-forward efficiency of Cosmos, or the balanced quality of Globus and Collette.
What to Look For When Comparing Tour Operators
When evaluating tour programs, we counsel clients to look beyond the price per day to understand what’s truly included: meals, entrance fees, hotel star rating, group size, and the ratio of travel days to destination days. Some itineraries look attractive at first glance but pack in so many destinations that you spend more time on the motorcoach than at the places you came to see. We help you find the tours with the right balance of pace, inclusion, and authenticity.
