Forget jetlag, customs lines, currency, language barriers and all the logistics of international travel. Has there ever been a more perfect time to explore the wonders in our own backyard? It’s time to seize the moment, enjoy epic experiences and support local tourism in the process.
With the pandemic closing international borders, Globus and Cosmos have nine new tours to showcase the best of Australia.
Oh wait, you’re not a tour person? No problem.
What you might not have considered is just how much value a small group tour offers and how easy they make it. Which means more time for you to sit back and enjoy the ride without worrying about details like “where will we eat tonight”.
Tried getting a reservation anywhere decent recently? Forget about it! Australia is jam packed full right now which is why heading off on a tour ensures all such details are taken care of.
