I have been asked by one of the followers of my blog to provide more information about Monograms, so here it is. Monograms is a division of Globus family of brands, which consists of Globus, Cosmos, Monograms, and Avalon Waterways. Globus provides escorted land tours in most parts of the world. In the Globus scenario you would be a part of a group of 20 to 40 people traveling together in a luxury coach to various destinations. The group stays at 4-star hotels, where breakfast and many of the other meals as well as activities are included in the price.
Some of the specific advantages of going with Globus that I love are:
(1) all the coaches have free wi-fi (Europe and North America). So while you are traveling you can take care of your e-mails and send pictures of your recent travels to friends and family!
(2) Your tickets for the visits to all the sites are pre-purchased and have VIP access. In other words, like other tourists, you don't have to wait in long lines, which could be several hours long.
(3) Your tour guide, who is locally experienced, travels with you.
(4) You make one reservation with Globus, pay one price and the rest is taken care of for you. If your itinerary includes travel by luxury coach, train, plane, and ferry, you don't have to purchase those tickets, Globus does. You don't have to worry about purchasing entrance tickets to various sites, they do. You don't have to book various hotels, they do.
Cosmos is very similar to Globus but is meant for a budget minded traveler. The basic difference is that the guests stay at 3-star hotels. Additionally, Cosmos also has a very attractive option for single travelers in which Cosmos pairs you up with other single travelers of the same sex.
Monograms is a more customized plan for small groups, typically a couple. In Monograms you choose the segments you want and Monograms takes care of all the details. You stay at 4-star hotels and daily breakfast is included. You are met by a Monograms hostess at every city who guides you. The package includes a half-day tour of every city on your itinerary and the rest of the days you are free to explore on your own or to take part in optional excursions. So Monograms is more for an independent minded traveler.
