Transportation to Suit Each Moment of
Your Vacation |
The Best Way to Go
No other Tour Operator
offers as many means of included transportation as we do! At Globus, we
believe getting from here to there can really add to the fun, so we
employ a wide range of transportation. From trains and luxurious cruise
ships to planes and canoes, your magical journey will deliver you to
encounters with fascinating people and places, where you can create
lasting stories of your own.
Seeing the World in Ultimate Comfort
On your Globus escorted
tour, getting around in each city is completely hassle-free. You never
have to worry about searching for some ill-defined shuttle meeting
place—because we pick you up at your hotel and deliver you right to
each destination's world-famous attractions. Our private deluxe
motorcoaches include all the comforts you'd expect, including
air-conditioning, an emergency restroom, and extra leg room, comparable
to the airlines' upgraded "plus" seating so there's plenty of room to
stretch out and relax!
Motorcoach
Standards
Ride in
Comfort
Each Globus motorcoach has
upholstered, reclining seats with headrests and individual
air-conditioning vents. A high-fidelity sound system broadcasts
professional Tour Director's commentary to every seat. Our custom of
daily seat rotation gives everyone a variety of vantage points to see
the passing countryside and city scenes. All Globus touring
motorcoaches are fully air-conditioned.
Free Wi-Fi on Your Motorcoach
Our state-of-the-art motorcoaches
offer free Wi-Fi in North America and Europe, as well as video
monitors. Once again, Globus has ushered touring into new territory,
making it possible for travelers to stay connected with family and
friends and browse online for free while touring. Most of our
ultramodern motorcoaches now feature free wireless Internet connection.
So, as you're enjoying your escorted tour, you can share your
experience with friends and relatives back home...and it's all at no
cost!
Please note that free connectivity
features browsing only; downloading is not available. Some tour
departures may not offer this service. Unfortunately, details regarding
availability cannot be provided prior to the commencement of the tour.
Some countries—such as Iceland, Israel, Jordan, Russia, and Ukraine—and
certain regions of other countries do not have Wi-Fi service coverage,
so free Wi-Fi is not available. When local coaches are used for
transfers or occasionally for sightseeing tours, wireless service is
not available.
Limited Group Size for Extra
Comfort
The length and width of modern
motorcoaches is standard, prescribed by law. The difference among tour
operators is in the number of seats installed and actually sold. While
it is customary to install and sell 53 seats, Globus installs fewer
seats for extra leg room, and limits group size to a maximum of 44 tour
members (Europe vacations only). The extra space contributes enormously
to your comfort. For airport and port transfers in Britain we generally
use motorcoaches with 53 seats.
Smoke-Free Coaches
For non-smokers and moderate
smokers an otherwise perfect vacation can be spoiled if they are forced
to inhale other people's smoke on a motorcoach. We therefore do not
allow smoking on the coach. There are plenty of opportunities to smoke
during the frequent stops.
Experienced & Professional
Drivers
Globus drivers take pride in
driving and in their vehicles, keeping them in great shape and
spotlessly clean. Your driver will help you on and off the motorcoach
with a smile and load your bags with care. Our travelers consistently
lavish the highest praise on the person behind the wheel!
Emergency Washrooms
Motorcoaches in Europe are equipped
with an emergency washroom. For transfers and sightseeing in London
this amenity is not available. We deliberately use the term "emergency
washroom," because this facility is not meant to be used regularly in
lieu of the restrooms at our frequent comfort stops.
Sustainable Travel
Globus is committed to reduce
transportation-related energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. Globus
utilizes motorcoaches that are 5 years or newer and equipped with the
latest technology in emission control and reduction. In addition, the
utilization of these modern motorcoaches provide 206.6 passenger miles
per gallon and on averages, seven times more energy and fuel efficient
than a single-occupancy automobile. Each motorcoach replaces as many as
55 passenger cars on the roads, slashing fuel usage and pollution
emissions.
