Half the Group. A Whole Lotta Fun!
One of the most exciting aspects of the Small Group Discovery tours is the flexibility they offer.

Moreover, small group sizes mean less time spent waiting for others or dealing with large crowds, allowing for a more intimate, enjoyable travel experience. And while small groups provide more space and freedom, you still benefit from the knowledge of expert local guides who share deep insights into each region.
And, if you’re concerned that a smaller group might mean fewer options, fear not. Globus offers tours in 70 countries, many of which offer small group departure options, ensuring you’ll find a departure date and destination that works for your schedule. Whether you're travelling through Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Africa, or the South Pacific, there's a Globus Small Group Discovery tour for you.
