About the Show:

Jeff introduces himself and the history of Globusbrand. Originating in Locarno, Switzerland, as local boat tours on the lake, it's now in its 96th year operating special and exclusive tours and experiences around the globe. Jeff goes on to explain the expanded brands (Cosmos and Avalon River Race). Globus' speciality lies in providing fully escorted and set itinerary tours spanning short independent stays to longer near month-long extended excursions.

A truly global brand, they boast over 500 different itineraries worldwide including Africa and South America.

Some explanation is shared around how an itinerary is set up with food and drinks and experiences at your chosen locations always focused on elite levels of comfort never falling below 4 star hotels and should you wish for a more nature-driven experience, enjoy "Glamping" with all amenities provided.

If you're more interested in river cruises, Avalon is their flagship brand and he goes into details as to what you can expect from them.

Further into the episode, Jeff covers the Globus conservation and sustainability programme they have deeply embedded within their company's functionality, ranging from reforestation efforts to supporting and educating locals into the travel industry - going so far as to potentially work within the Avalon branch of the business.
