Globus escorted tours
Our first-class range of tours include more of everything you love, weaving in VIP access to the must-see sights and authentic experiences so you come away from your holiday having truly lived each place you visit.
Take a ride back in time on an escorted holiday in Colorado and New Mexico. Begin with sightseeing in the “Mile High City” of Denver, including the historic Union Station in stylish lower downtown (LoDo). Then travel south and be awed by the natural surroundings of the Royal Gorge Route Railroad into the gorge and along the Arkansas River—noted by Teddy Roosevelt as “the trip that bankrupts the English language.” Then visit Colorado Springs to explore the Garden of the Gods with its sandstone formations below majestic Pikes Peak. Travel to Santa Fe, New Mexico for a trolley tour of this historic town, and see the artistic and mysterious sites of Spanish, Native American, and religious legend. See the Miracle Stairway of Loreto’s Chapel and other inspiring sights. Visit the ancient cliff-dwellings of Bandelier National Monument and spend time exploring the historic Taos Plaza. Continue north to Colorado for the mountain town of Durango, founded in the gold-rush and silver-mining era, and visit Mesa Verde National Park.
Board the Durango & Silverton Narrow-Gauge Railroad and steam along the cliff-side rails through the San Juan National Forest. You’ll stay in Glenwood Springs—famous for its therapeutic natural hot springs. You’ll travel through the magnificent Rocky Mountains aboard the historic Georgetown Loop Railroad for rugged views of Clear Creek Canyon. Your guided tour of New Mexico and Colorado is a new adventure into the Old West.

Good tour, however the train trips were limited. The Georgetown loop was ok but more of a tourist show. Lasted 1.5 hours. The Silverton to Durango lasted 3.5 hours & was better, but due to a mudslide the last section was omitted and we were bussed the last 20 minutes of the journey. Understandable reasons though. HOWEVER . . . Pikes Peak cogwheel train was cancelled within a week of us flying out to Denver. This was due to parts to repair the cog wheels were unobtainable. The explanation we were given by the operator was that there are only 2 suppliers of parts in the world & that they were unable to supply. Also the track would have to be modified & quite possibly new trains would have to be ordered. This would cost millions of dollars & quite possibly never go ahead. This information was known about in March 2018 & readily reported in the American newspapers. Why the did Globus not tell Cosmos/Archers at the time that this part of the programme would be altered. And why did Archers not tell us, I found out a week before we flew out by researching our trip, I told Archers, the operator I spoke to didn’t know & had to find out. An email was sent to us eventually together with another email about changes to our arrival arrangements at Denver airport. If I hadn’t phoned we may never have received this important information. Poor communication. Globus was ok, probably average. Not exceptional. Tour manager Nile’s was very good though & coach driver, Juan, was excellent. We have done many coach tours in different countries and Saga have been the best so far.
