Some places don’t just inspire wanderlust – they demand a guided tour. With language barriers, layered histories and rich cultural traditions, countries like Japan, India and Thailand are best explored with an expert at the helm. In 2026, the Globus family of brands is expanding its Asia portfolio with bold, new itineraries that transform every “how?’ into an unforgettable “wow!”
To meet demand – and record-breaking growth – Globus is expanding its Japan portfolio with a NEW Japan Escape for off-season travel from Tokyo to Kyoto (with an Osaka extension). The company is also refreshing its Visions of Japan tour to shift time from Tokyo to a new overnight in the Mt. Fuji area for even more scenic discoveries.

Also NEW for 2026, Globus’ Enchanting Thailand tour leads travellers through dazzling cities, tranquil villages and lush countryside.

“Asia is awe-inspiring – but it’s also incredibly complex to navigate solo,” said Stephanie Brooks, vice president, product and operations, Globus family of brands. “That’s why touring is the best way to go. We’ve eliminated the guesswork and elevated the experience to help travellers unlock every ‘wow’ moment – without the worry. These aren’t just trips. They’re once-in-a-lifetime journeys made easy and extraordinary.”
