For a long time, standard guided tours followed a familiar script: get on the bus, follow the paddle, and see the exact same sights as everyone else in your group. It was incredibly convenient, but it didn’t always leave room for personal style or spontaneous whims. What if you want to skip the museum for a guided bike ride? What if your traveling partner wants a wine tasting while you prefer exploring a medieval castle?
We know that the modern traveler craves two things above all else: the effortless ease of a planned trip and the freedom to customize it.
That is exactly why Globus introduced Choice Touring. Available across their most popular itineraries in Europe and North America, this revolutionary travel style completely redefines the guided vacation, letting you personalize your daily itinerary based entirely on your mood.
How it Works: The Your Choice Excursion Feature
With Globus Choice Touring, the main logistics—premium hotels, seamless transit between cities, and iconic must-see highlights—are completely taken care of. But when you arrive in specific destinations across Europe and North America, the itinerary opens up.
Instead of a one-size-fits-all scheduled activity, Globus presents you with a curated menu of Your Choice Excursions. You simply pick the experience that calls to you, and it is completely included in the price of your tour.
Here is the best part: you don’t have to choose months in advance. You can decide how you want to experience a destination based on how you feel that very day.
What’s Your Travel Mood?
Globus structures these unique excursions around different passions and energy levels, typically falling into a few clear categories:
The Foodie: Dive into local culinary scenes with regional cooking classes, market tastings, or vineyard tours.
The Active Adventurer: Get your blood pumping with guided e-bike rides, nature hikes, or kayak excursions through scenic waterways.
The History Buff: Go beyond the basic facts with deep-dive thematic walking tours, architectural studies, or visits to hidden historic gems.
The Chill Explorer: Prefer a slower pace? Opt for scenic boat cruises, relaxed artisan workshops, or simple, structured free time with a local expert’s curated recommendations.
The Ultimate Benefit: Travel Together, Explore Individually
We often see couples, families, or friend groups hesitate to book group travel because they have different interests. One person wants to walk five miles exploring ruins, while the other wants to sample pastries at a local cafe.
Choice Touring solves this entirely. You can travel together on the same private motorcoach, stay at the same boutique hotels, and catch up over dinner to share stories about two completely different, incredible days. It is the absolute sweet spot of travel: structured support when you need it, and total freedom when you want it.
Remember, You don’t have to settle for someone else’s travel blueprint. Customize yours with Globus!
