Our History

It all began more than 85 years ago

It all began more than 90 years ago

Today, the Globus family of brands is a global company reaching every corner of the world, yet remains family-owned and steeped in the values Antonio had when he set out across Lake Lugano—to enlighten travellers by showing them the very best of the destinations we know so well.
