The story of Globus began over nine decades ago when a young Antonio Mantegazza became inspired to share the stories of his home while using his family's rowboat to transport lumber across beautiful Lake Lugano in Switzerland. As a result, on a spring day in 1928, he began planning tours and grew into a worldwide name in travel. Antonio's business acumen and passion for tourism led him to expand his services from river transport to bus touring, first in Switzerland, then in Europe, and eventually worldwide. Nowadays, Globus offers a variety of vacation options for travelers with different travel goals and budgets.
