Globus has launched its 2027 Small Group brochures, giving travel advisors fresh inspiration and practical sales tools to help clients find the right guided holiday.
The brochures showcase two distinct options: purpose-designed Small Group Discovery tours featuring smaller groups, distinctive accommodation and exclusive experiences, and selected small group departure dates on Globus Classic tours, which offer established itineraries with fewer fellow travellers.
For advisors, the distinction opens up two clear selling opportunities.
Small Group Discovery tours will appeal to clients who value more intimate group sizes and experiences designed specifically for the itinerary.
Small group departure dates on selected Globus Classic tours offer an alternative for clients who like a proven touring program but would prefer to travel with fewer people.
With group sizes, inclusions and itinerary styles clearly highlighted, advisors can give clients a more informed choice and identify the Globus tour that best fits their travel priorities.
Why Is Small Group Touring Big News Right Now?
Small group touring is increasingly popular as travellers seek more personal, immersive and flexible ways to explore the world.
With fewer passengers, travellers can enjoy a more relaxed pace, build connections with fellow guests and benefit from more individual attention from tour leaders.
Smaller groups also offer greater opportunities to connect with local communities and experience authentic culture.
Small Group Discovery: Designed for a Closer Look
Globus Small Group Discovery (SGD) tours are purpose-designed itineraries that combine smaller group sizes with distinctive accommodation and exclusive experiences.
Small Group Discovery tours average just 15–18 guests in Europe and never more than 24 guests in other destinations.
The emphasis is on creating opportunities to connect more closely with destinations, including experiences that go beyond traditional sightseeing.
A standout example in the 2027 collection is Quebec in Depth with the Gaspé Peninsula (CQ), an 11-day journey exploring French Canada’s culture, coastal scenery and local traditions.
Highlights include:
-
Discovering Montreal on a guided sightseeing tour, including the magnificent interior of Notre-Dame Basilica, famous for its striking Gothic Revival design.
-
Exploring the Pointe-au-Père Maritime Historic Site and Empress of Ireland Museum to uncover the events surrounding one of Canada’s most tragic maritime disasters.
-
Visiting Miguasha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed site renowned for its remarkable fossil beds.
For advisors, this itinerary offers a compelling option for clients who want to explore beyond the obvious highlights and enjoy a thoughtfully designed journey.
Globus Classic: Familiar Touring, Smaller Groups
Small group departure dates are available on selected Globus Classic tours, allowing clients to experience an established itinerary with fewer fellow travellers, as these departures average 24 guests with a maximum of 28.
One example is Highlights of Sicily & Southern Italy (LM), a 14-day journey from Rome to Palermo showcasing the history, landscapes and culinary traditions of southern Italy and Sicily.
Highlights include:
-
Exploring the ancient ruins of Pompeii on a guided walk through the city preserved beneath volcanic ash following Mount Vesuvius’s eruption.
-
Discovering Capri on a guided tour, including a ride on the island’s funicular railway and a visit to Augustus Gardens, where sweeping views take in the Faraglioni rock formations and the Bay of Naples.
-
Stepping inside Taormina’s historic Greek theatre, one of Sicily’s most treasured ancient landmarks, with stunning panoramas of Mount Etna and the Ionian coastline.
