What's the secret behind our incredibly advantageous prices? First, we purchase hotel accommodations and tour services on behalf of hundreds of thousands of clients each year. With this volume buying power, we pay wholesale rates and pass the savings on to you! Second, we have no need for costly advertising. Satisfied clients who beat our drum upon returning home from a tour do more to promote our product than expensive advertising ever could.

Accurate) detailed tour descriptions
You'll understand the true value of our tours when you read our tour descriptions. The agenda for each touring day is spelled out so that you know exactly what is included in the price.
We urge you to compare what we give you in a tour with what other tour operators offer - and then compare the prices. You'll see why knowledgeable travel agents consider Globus tours the best value on the market.

Discount for young tour members
More and more parents share the pleasure of a Globus tour with their children, grandparents with their grandchildren. To encourage this, we grant a 10 percent discount on the land-only price to tour members who are under 18 years old on the tour departure date, provided they are accompanied by an adult.
On escorted tours we do not accept children under eight years old because we've found that they are too young to enjoy these vacations. On independent tours, except cruises, there is no age limit.

Triple room reduction
On most tours Globus grants a reduction to three people who travel together and share the same accommodation. Triple room reductions are listed on the tour pages.
A word of caution: Triple rooms are usually no larger than twin rooms, and the third bed is often a rollaway bed put in a twin-bedded room for the night.

Avoid the single room supplement
Single rooms cost extra and they are often quite small. We do not take reservations on a "share" basis because we have found that strangers rarely enjoy sharing a room for the duration of a tour. Sidestep the single room supplement by traveling with a friend. It's less expensive and much more fun!
If you do pay for a single room, please be aware that on very rare occasions hotels are unable to provide all the single rooms we reserve. Might this occur, you will be asked to share a room with a tour member of the same gender, and the tour director will issue a refund on the spot.

Pay less for your second tour
We charge you list price for your first tour in 1999, but for every additional Globus tour you take in the same year, you pay US$35 under list. Our tours are designed and scheduled so you can combine them almost any way you want. Some of the most popular combinations are indicated on the tour pages, but it's fun to play the add-a-tour game yourself. Ask your travel agent for suggestions.

Save by forming your own group
We grant the following rebates on the land arrangements of your tour if you form your own group:

On independent tours and tours including a cruise of three or more nights, one person in a group of 32 travels free. In a group of 16, one person travels at half price.

On all other tours, one person in a group of 16 travels free. In a group of eight, one person travels at half price.

These group rebates do not apply to 2000 tours featuring the Oberammergau Passion Play Special. Free and half-price land arrangements are credited at the twin rate; single room supplements have to be paid in full.

If no tour in this brochure meets your exact requirements, we can tailor-make an itinerary. We'll help your travel agent set up a tour that caters to any special interest your group may have.
