About Globus Tours

July 19, 2019
The history of Globus tours goes back to 1928, when an enterprising young man had a great idea. Antonio Montegazza lived on the shore of Lake Lugano in Switzerland, a popular travel destination. Seeing the visitors going out on the water every day, Antonio decided to offer rowboat rides on the lake, complete with stories about the local area. He got the rowboat on credit, started his business and the idea caught on. Soon Antonio had to buy more rowboats and hire some of his friends to pilot them. Eventually he went to motorized boats and then he expanded his company to land travel.

In time Globus acquired a motorcoach, marking the beginning of motorized land touring. The Globus motor fleet grew to 12 coaches in the 1930's and operated tours all over Switzerland. World War II only caused a temporary halt, and when it was over Antonio purchased two other coach companies.

Today Globus Journeys is a worldwide company guiding thousands of passengers to destinations all over the world. With Globus, travelers can enjoy vacationing with a group of at least 30 other people under the guidance of a tour guide and an experienced motor coach driver.

In Africa travelers can tour the great parks of Kenya, see the Savannah of Tanzania or the majesty of Victoria Falls in South Africa. Globus Journeys operates a series of faith-based tours of Israel, Jordan and Egypt. Those who are looking for a real safari experience can also find it at Globus tours, which operates tours encompassing several nature preserves in Kenya and Tanzania.

The European vacations that provided the start for the company are still among its most popular tours.
