As demand for deeper connections to the places they visit grows among travelers, the Globus family of brands is introducing a range of Unpack and Explore tours, designed around regional immersion, flexibility, and discovery.

Built around an unpack-and-explore-from-there philosophy, these vacations allow travelers to experience a destination at a comfortable pace while enjoying sightseeing, immersive excursions, and the confidence that comes from expert planning. Whether centered in a single destination or thoughtfully paired hubs, Globus & Cosmos Unpack and Explore Tours create opportunities to venture beyond the city’s most famous landmarks and connect more deeply with the surrounding region.

“More travelers are looking beyond checklist sightseeing and seeking experiences that help them connect to a destination in more meaningful ways,” said Scott Nisbet, president and CEO of the Globus family of brands. “Our Globus & Cosmos Unpack and Explore Tours combine the convenience of expertly planned travel with the flexibility to enjoy built-in free time, local discoveries, and insider recommendations from our Tour Directors and Local Guides. For Travel Advisors, it’s another way to match clients with vacations that reflect how they want to experience the world today.”

For Travel Advisors, the collection offers a highly relatable selling story for clients seeking:

  • Fewer hotel changes throughout their vacation.
  • More time to connect with a destination.
  • Built-in free time and flexibility.
  • Authentic local experiences beyond iconic landmarks.
  • The confidence of guided touring combined with opportunities for independent exploration.

Unpack and Explore tours are available throughout Europe and North America.
