Globe Travel Centre · Since 2006
Designed by local experts based at the destinations.
The Globe difference
Each destination is served by its own 'Travel Centre' staffed by local experts who live where you're travelling. They design your holiday around you, drawing on local knowledge no guidebook can offer.
The same team plans your trip and stays with you through it, in the UK and on the ground. Nothing is off-menu, nothing is too much trouble, and someone who knows your journey is only ever a phone call away.
We choose the stays and journeys that tread lightly and keep money in local hands. Every trip supports a community project at your destination, and you decide which one, then meet it in person if you wish.

Attention to every detail. Our experience was amazing, we did not have to think about anything. Cannot wait to travel again with their help.

We have just returned from the most amazing trip to Sri Lanka and Kerala. Globe Travel have come up trumps, once again, for us.

The team took time to understand exactly what we wanted and crafted a trip that exceeded every expectation. Truly first class.

Every hotel, every driver, every guide, hand picked. It felt like travelling with insiders, not tourists.

Our third holiday with Globe Travel Centre and once again, faultless. We would not travel with anyone else.

The itinerary Vinesh built for us was pure magic. Backwaters, tea plantations, tigers, pitch perfect pacing throughout.

We travelled as a family of six and everything ran like clockwork. The drivers were fantastic and the hotels beyond expectations.

Kerala with kids sounded ambitious, the team made everything easy. Our children still talk about the elephants.
Graham Peters

Our guide knew every temple, every shortcut, every story. It felt less like a tour and more like being shown around by a friend.
Liz & Alan Ford
@lizalanford
This was our fourth trip planned by the team. Each one has been better than the last, and the planning call is now part of the fun.
Dorothy Hughes

The hotels were chosen with such care, heritage properties we would never have found ourselves. Wonderful value for the quality.
Paul Dempsey
@pauldempsey
When our flight was delayed, one phone call and everything was rearranged before we landed. That is real service.
Rachel & Ben

A honeymoon beyond anything we imagined. Houseboat, private dinners, sunrise over the ghats, flawlessly organised.
Janet Wilcox
@janetwilcox
Honest advice from the first conversation. They talked us out of the wrong trip and into the perfect one. Rare and refreshing.
