Think You’re Not a Tour Person?

Why a Globus Tour Might Be the Perfect Fit for You

Have you ever dreamed of exploring Europe but felt overwhelmed by the planning? Maybe you love the idea of seeing historic cities, breathtaking landscapes, and iconic landmarks but don’t want to deal with the stress of logistics—like booking hotels, figuring out transportation, or navigating language barriers. If that sounds like you, then a Globus tour might be exactly what you’re looking for.

What Is a Globus Tour?

Globus offers expertly curated guided tours to some of the world’s most incredible destinations. Think of it as a “cruise on land”—your accommodations, transportation, and even some meals are taken care of, so all you have to do is relax and enjoy the experience. But don’t worry, it’s not all rigid schedules and big tour groups—Globus offers flexibility, free time, and even small-group options to ensure you travel in a way that fits your style.

Common Misconceptions About Guided Tours

I’ve heard a lot of concerns from travelers who hesitate to book a guided tour, and I totally get it. Let’s clear up a few myths:

🚍 “I don’t want to be stuck on a bus all day.”
While you do travel between destinations by coach, you’re not spending all your time on the road. Most itineraries have a perfect balance of travel, sightseeing, and free time to explore at your own pace. Plus, the motorcoaches are comfortable, with panoramic windows and Wi-Fi, so you can sit back and enjoy the scenery.

🗺 “I like to explore on my own.”
Great! So do I. One of the best things about Globus is the built-in flexibility. You’ll have guided sightseeing in key destinations but also plenty of free time to wander, shop, or sip wine at a café while soaking in the local culture.

👥 “I don’t want to be in a huge group.”
You have options! Globus now offers Choice Touring and Small-Group Discoveries, where you travel with fewer people and have more personalized experiences.

Why My Clients Love Globus

I’ve had the privilege of traveling with Globus myself, and I can confidently say that their tours offer an effortless, immersive way to experience a destination. Here’s why my clients love them:

✔ Stress-Free Travel – No worrying about hotels, train schedules, or directions.
✔ Amazing Local Experiences – Enjoy exclusive access to sites and experiences you wouldn’t find on your own.
✔ Comfort & Convenience – Well-located hotels, expert guides, and seamless transportation.
✔ Great Value – When you add up the cost of hotels, meals, excursions, and transportation, a tour often gives you more for your money than traveling independently.

Perfect for First-Timers and Seasoned Travelers Alike

Whether you’re new to international travel or you’ve been around the world, a Globus tour can be a fantastic option. First-time travelers love the ease of having everything arranged, while experienced travelers appreciate the insider access and local expertise.

Hi, I’m Kenneth Reece — and I help make unforgettable vacations feel effortless. With 50 cruises under my belt (and more in the works!), I specialize in bucket-list travel experiences for grown-up travelers who want something a little more meaningful, a little more personal, and a lot more fun. Whether you're cruising the blue waters of the Caribbean, exploring the stunning coastlines of Alaska, or soaking in the magic of Europe one cobblestone street at a time — I’m here to help you plan a trip you’ll always remember. Lately, river cruising has completely captured my heart. There’s just something special about waking up each morning in a new European town, with your floating boutique hotel waiting to take you to the next charming stop. I love pairing these river cruises with guided land tours for a perfect balance of sightseeing and relaxation. Princess Cruises has long been one of my favorites at sea, but I’ve sailed with many cruise lines and know how to match each client with the right one for them. I’ve also experienced the Disney magic around the world — from Disneyland and Walt Disney World to Tokyo and Paris — and I bring that same sense of wonder and thoughtful planning into everything I do. Whether you're celebrating a milestone, traveling solo, or just need help making sense of all the choices out there, I’m here to be your guide. I love helping clients as much — or as little — as they prefer. From the first conversation to the moment you return home, you’ll know someone has your back. Let’s make your next trip easy, exciting, and completely tailored to you.
