LITTLETON, Colorado – October 9, 2018 – In 2019, Globus, Cosmos and NEW Cosmos Lite are getting cheeky, showing travelers the undiscovered places that tell the stories and secrets of what makes Great Britain so GREAT with nine (9) Undiscovered Britain vacations, including six (6) NEW tours for 2019.

 

“There’s nothing easy about planning a vacation, especially when visiting the less-traveled areas of England, Scotland and Wales,” said Scott Nisbet, president and CEO of the Globus family of brands. “As part of our Undiscovered Britain series of tours, we handle everything from research to reservations – even driving on the ‘wrong’ side of the road – so our travelers need only focus on the wonders that make Britain so great.”

 

In 2019, travelers wandering on cobblestones-less-traveled on an Undiscovered Britain tour will enjoy hops and Scotch, rock stars and famous rocks, gothic aisles and spectacular isles while encountering some fun facts behind the lore.

Here are nine (9) “secret” reasons to discover Great Britain in 2019:
