About This Tour


(On The Road driving vacation)
Spend eight days discovering the history of Washington DC and the beauty of Virginia. Pick up your rental car in Washington DC and enjoy the city’s famous monuments—the Jefferson and Lincoln Memorials, Washington Monument, and Vietnam Veterans and WWII Memorials. Explore the Smithsonian’s many museums, and consider taking in a performance at the Kennedy Center or Ford’s Theater. Head west to the Shenandoah Valley and through rolling countryside to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Next, on to Charlottesville, an area Thomas Jefferson called the “Eden of the country.” Visit his mountaintop Monticello home in Albemarle County, described as one of the country’s foremost architectural masterpieces. Continue east to Williamsburg with a stop in Richmond, the “Capital of the Confederacy.” Experience Colonial Williamsburg, the most extensively restored 18th-century town in the US; Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in the New World; and Yorktown, where General Cornwallis surrendered to General George Washington during the Revolutionary War. Return to Washington DC to drop off your rental car and conclude your memorable vacation.

Standard Offers and Specials provided by Globus

Discount for young travelers

Share the pleasure of a Globus vacation with your children and grandchildren and take advantage of a 10-percent discount on the land-only price. For eligibility, children must be under 18 years of age on the departure date and must be accompanied by an adult. On escorted vacations we don’t accept children under eight years old because we have found that they are too young to enjoy these vacations.

Pay less for your second vacation

We charge you vacation price for your first vacation in 2008, but for every additional Globus vacation you take in the same year, you pay US$35 under list. Our vacations are designed and scheduled so you can combine them almost any way you want. It’s fun to play the add-a-vacation game yourself or talk to your travel agent.

Triple room reduction

On most Globus vacations you receive a reduction when three people travel together and share the same accommodations. Triple room reductions, when available, are listed on the itinerary pages. A word of caution: Triple rooms usually are no larger than twin rooms and the third bed, if there is one, is often a rollaway put in a twin-bedded room.

Avoid the single room supplement

We do not take reservations on a “share” basis because we have found that strangers rarely enjoy sharing a room for the duration of their vacation. Avoid the single room supplement by traveling with a friend. It’s less expensive and much more fun!


Do you have a large party of friends or family that wants to travel?

Right now when you book between 5 and 7 people before December 31, 2008, each passenger will save $75.* For example, book 5 passengers and receive a $375 discount, 6 passengers equals a $450 discount and 7 passengers will receive a $525 discount. With an offer like this, the world’s greatest destinations are now closer than ever!

*Book a 2009 Globus vacation for five, six or seven travelers to receive the $75 off per person offer. Booking must be made, under deposit, and discount applied between Jun 4 and Dec 31, 2008 for travel through December 31, 2009. Individuals must be traveling together from the same origination point to receive the discount. Not valid with any other offer and applies to new 2009 bookings only. Offer reliant on space availability. Full cancellation penalties will apply. Additional restrictions may apply.
