Episode 533: Touring Europe with Globus and Avalon

Time travel is real. Especially when you journey back centuries to the Old World with Globus European tours. Down cobblestone lanes and well-worn paths, we venture way past the landmarks to immerse you in Europe’s enchanting landscapes and legends of lore. Yet in the land of fairytale settings, we go beyond storytelling to satisfy your hunger for history. We make you a central character with well-rounded experiences. Get ready to drive a golf ball at Scotland’s legendary St. Andrews, hurl a snowball in the majestic Swiss Alps, strike a billiards ball in a cozy Irish pub, or sip wine on the grounds of a Tuscan castle. Hands on and feet first is how we roll through the storied hills, quaint villages and vibrant cities of Europe. While we skip the lines at ancient castles and cathedrals to whisk you back in time, we also bypass the main thoroughfares to catapult you toward the emerging chefs, artists and artisans who will define the Europe of tomorrow. Beyond the predictable. Beyond the expected. Beyond the guidebooks. It’s the only way to travel through time.
