About this trip

Experience small town Italy like a local on our semi-independent trip… Tuscany conjures up dreams of life at a slower pace where you can soak in the culture, food, and picturesque vistas of the Italian countryside. Stroll through narrow passageways of medieval villages perched on hilltops. Pick out cheese & wine at the market in town and chat with the locals. Then, head back to your 18th-century villa passing olive groves in time for an amazing sunset. Tuscany is the dream vacation and now is your chance!


Live like a local: Sip on espresso & people-watch at a sidewalk cafe in town. Stop by the local grocery store for provisions to prepare a family-style meal in the villa’s fully-equipped kitchen. End the day with a glass of fine wine in your new home.


Ideal location: Most villas in the region are 7 kilometers on average to the closest town & you’d need a rental car during your trip. Our villa is only a 15 to 20-minute walk into town with charming shops, cafes, and restaurants.


Discover Italy: Many of Tuscany & Umbria’s most famous towns are only 30 – 45 minutes away from the villa so you can explore all the best locations in the region without going far.

If you love ancient history visiting Egypt is a must! This was such a delightful trip. Our small group of adventurers were very compatible. I think we laughed our way through Egypt, we had such a great time! The food and friendliness of the Egyptian people made it that much better. Hanny our Tour Guide was awesome, very knowledgable explaining the history of the Egyptian culture, cities, tombs and temples we visited and oh so patient! Hanny made our Egyptian adventure very memorable. HDL

I had an absolutely amazing trip. This Globe-Drifters Egypt Trip exceeded my expectations in every way. I enjoyed our small group of 8 people. Saw the Giza Plateau, the temples along the Nile, loved the river boat cruise, the hot air balloon over the valley of kings, the hotels were all fantastic, and the food was amazing. Hany our guide delivered 5 star service the entire trip. He knew the best times to visit the temples to avoid the crowds, he took us to the best places to shop, he introduced to a local, Nubian family in Aswan and we shared a wonderful meal together. He was a masterful story teller and had such a great personality. We felt totally safe and felt like we were seeing the best of everything. I highly recommend this trip. I would do it again!

What a fantastic trip! Hany was the best tour guide. He shared his love for his culture and vast knowledge with us at every monument we saw. He chose the best times to visit the monuments so that we were not in the big crowds. He definitely went out of his way to personalize the tour for each of us adding special touches each day. Our group had a great sense of humor and kept the laughs going every day. The sites were spectacular and the food terrific. Especially enjoyed the evening spent with the Nubian family and the hot air balloon ride. A very memorable trip and so worth it!!

Great experience! We had an awesome group leader in Hany. Saw sites that took your breath away. Great group of fellow travelers made the trip even more fun. I can recommend the experience with Hany and the tour group without reservation.

We had amazing trip. Quito felt safe and had such delicious food with lots of things to do. Mindo Cloud Forest exceeded all expectations with the amount of wildlife at our doorstep. The Galápagos had fantastic snorkeling and so much wildlife. The guides for both mainland Ecuador and the Galapagos were top tier. I highly recommend the trip
