Previously, I listed 5 of the top 10 European tours for Globus. In this post, I will cover the remaining 5 of the top 10 Globus European Tours. Although the Globus family also includes COSMOS, Avalon River Cruises and Monograms (now Globus Independence), this post will only focus on Globus Tours themselves. Also like the Trafalgar review, I represent Globus, but I am not compensated by Globus for this post.
So here are the top 5 most popular Globus European tours:
The Best of Italy
11 Days
12 Stops
6 Overnight Accommodations
Base $3,520 per person, land only.
This tour begins and ends in Rome, stating with 2 nights in Rome, with a visit to the Vatican, the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Square. From there it moves to Montecatini with a stop in Orvieto for lunch and sightseeing on your own.
While in Montecatini, the tour will make a day trip to Florence to visit the Accedemia and the Florence Cathedral. After spending a second night in Montecatini, the tour moves on to Venice with a stop in Pisa. The tour will then spend 2 nights in Venice. After Venice, the tour moves south, with a 1 night stay in Assisi to the Isle of Capri for a 2-night stay, with visits to Pompeii, Naples, and Sorrento. Afterwards, the tour returns to Rome for departure back to the US.
This tour hits all of the most popular destinations in Italy.
Italian Mosaic
13 Days
14 Stops
6 Overnight Accommodations
Base $3,950 per person, land only.
This tour is similar to the Best of Italy tour, but has some features that, in my opinion, make it a better experience. While this tour does not include Montecatini, it does include 2 nights in Florence. a visit to Cinque Terre, and the Lake Region with two nights at Lake Maggiore and a stop in the Swiss town of Lugano.
Introduction to Ireland
7 Days
15 Stops
5 Overnight Accommodations
Base $1,759 per person, land only
Moving north. Globus has two popular tours in Ireland in the UK. The first is the Introduction to Ireland, that, like most tours in Ireland do, follows along the coastline to visit Dublin, the Cliffs of Moher, the Ring of Kerry, and Blarney Castle,
But this one is a bit different in that it goes inland to visit Cashel, where St. Patrick preached, and Rathbaun Farm, where you can learn a little bit about Irish Baking and Sheepherding.
