A journey can become extraordinary when you see a destination through the eyes of someone who truly knows it. That’s the difference with Globus local guides—seasoned experts who bring destinations to life with stories, insights, and connections that go far beyond what you’d find in a guidebook. Paired with Viking Travel’s personalized service, each guided tour transforms sightseeing into a deeply immersive, memorable experience.
Local insight from seasoned guides
Every Globus journey is led by Tour Directors and local guides who are as passionate about their home regions as they are knowledgeable. They share centuries of history through engaging storytelling, revealing not just what you’re seeing but why it matters. Imagine exploring Florence with an art historian who paints vivid pictures of Renaissance life, or walking through Prague as your guide recounts the legends that shaped the city’s Gothic skyline. These personal touches elevate familiar destinations into unforgettable experiences—rooted in context, emotion, and discovery.
You’ll also enjoy insider moments that only experienced guides can provide—like skipping the crowds at peak attractions, accessing exclusive local events, or being introduced to family-run restaurants that reflect authentic regional flavor. Their presence turns a simple itinerary into an engaging narrative, giving travelers the confidence to relax and truly take in the journey.
Hidden experiences beyond sightseeing
Beyond the famous landmarks, Globus guided tours take travelers into the heart of local life. You might join a choral performance at an Austrian monastery, sample wines straight from the barrel in Bordeaux, or visit a family-run workshop in Germany’s Black Forest. These moments, often inaccessible to the average visitor, offer a window into the culture’s living traditions.
Other itineraries might lead you to a pottery village in Portugal, a hands-on pasta class in Tuscany, or a behind-the-scenes visit with artisans in Eastern Europe. By combining authentic encounters with world-class organization, Globus ensures every day feels meaningful, spontaneous, and full of discovery.
