How are Monograms vacations different from Globus?
Monograms are non-escorted, independent vacations. While you purchase hotel, sightseeing, breakfast, even air and transfers as a package, you will not be travelling with a group of people. You will have access to a Local Host rather than a Tour Director. Local Hosts are available to help you make the most of your vacation. They can give you information on how to navigate local transportation, where to dine to experience local cuisine or simply insider tips on what to do, but they will not be accompanying you as you explore on your own. You do have the opportunity to purchase optional excursions from your Local Host, in which case you will travel via motorcoach and be in the company of a group for the duration of the excursion.

Can I travel on a family vacation without children?
Family vacations are specifically for families and companions travelling with families. For these vacations, Globus defines a family as any party travelling with at least one traveller under the age of 21. Unfortunately, passengers not meeting this criterion may not book these vacations, so that we can deliver the family friendly environment promised by these specialized vacations. Globus offers a wide range of other vacations more suited for parties not travelling with children. In fact, you can choose from an array of Globus vacations worldwide.

How old does a child have to be to travel with Globus?
An adult must accompany travellers who are less than 18 years old on the tour departure date; the child receives a 10% discount on the land tour price. We do not accept children under the age of 8 on escorted tours, because we have found they are too young to enjoy these vacations.
On our independent vacations, there is no minimum age requirement. Land arrangements for infants under two are free of charge, providing parents pay directly to the hotels for food, crib, etc. Infants sometimes fly free of charge if they do not occupy a seat, while some airlines charge 10%. An airline ticket is always required for the child.

Why is it so important that I provide names exactly as they appear on our passports?
Due to increased travel security around the world, it is now more important than ever that the passenger's airline ticket match the full title, first name, middle name / initial and last name exactly as it reads on his or her passport. It is best to provide that information to Globus at the time of booking so the air we confirm is not in jeopardy of being lost. Should any letter need to be changed or rearranged anywhere n the passengers name, the air will be cancelled and re-requested "from scratch." Please note that the booking will be revised to land-only or subject to increased cost if the original air is not available to rebook. There is no guarantee we will be able to confirm the original air schedule or any flights at al.

Do you accept travellers who need special assistance?
Any disability requiring special attention should be reported to Globus by you or your travel agent at the time the reservation is made. Globus will make reasonable efforts to accommodate the special needs of disabled tour participants, but is not responsible in the event it is unable to do so, nor is it responsible for any denial of services by carriers, hotels, restaurants, or other independent suppliers. We regret that we cannot provide individual assistance to a tour member for walking, dining and getting on and off motorcoaches and other transportation vehicles, or other personal needs. A qualified companion must accompany travellers who need such assistance.
