Efficient legwork—that’s what we do. Assiduous researchers. We read all the magazines, find all the jewels, study destinations…and travel to them. We love puzzles, especially your puzzles…especially your puzzles with deep questions like where to go, and when to go, and what does it all mean, anyway? We’re fixers. Pre-empters. Planners. We’re into your life, and it shows. One of our jobs is to ask

a lot of questions. We do this so that you don’t have to, unless you want to, at which point we answer a lot of questions, and with gusto. We love the world, but not as much as we love to put you in it. Global Escapes Travel is a consultancy service, a concierge service, a management service, a delivery service, a transportation service, a research service, an entertainment service. We’re a friendly service. An experienced service. A professional service. We are service. Period.

Once home to over 30,000 people, Petra was a bustling trade hub long before it became one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Hidden among Jordan’s desert cliffs, its rose-colored facades—carved directly into the sandstone—feel like something out of a dream. Wandering through the Siq and standing before the iconic Treasury, you're not just exploring ruins; you're stepping into the heart of an ancient civilization that continues to captivate the world.

Oh and friendly reminder: this view doesn't only have to exist in a photo. 😉

Known as "The Smoke That Thunders," this massive waterfall sends mist soaring into the sky as millions of gallons of water plunge into the Zambezi Gorge. Whether you're taking in the breathtaking views, feeling the spray from the Knife-Edge Bridge, or seeking adventure with a thrilling whitewater rafting experience, Victoria Falls is a place where nature’s power and beauty collide in spectacular fashion.

TRAVEL UPDATE: As of an hour ago, London Heathrow is now starting to land planes after an electrical fire shut down the airport for nearly 16 hours. Britain's Department of Transportation is temporarily lifting its ban on overnight flights to ease congestion through the airport.

Today has been a crazy day in the travel industry - a day that tested the patience of many passengers traveling across the globe. We hope everyone arrives to their destination safely with limited inconveniences.

Our Story

Global Escapes believes that everyone’s time is valuable, but that everyone’s vacation time is priceless. That’s why planning and experience are so important. There’s a lot to think about: where to go, how to get there, what to bring and what to do – not to mention how to pay for it. Our travel advisors believe that anyone can experience the incredible wonders of nature, culture and recreation that the world has to offer…all it takes is a great escape plan.

We love to travel. We have to admit that when we book a trip, there’s a part of each of us that wishes we were going along. But in a way, we are. We share our clients’ excitement throughout the planning process and can’t wait to hear the stories of fun, adventure, and inspiration when they return. Their enthusiastic feedback reawakens our own memories, gives us new ideas, and helps us make everyone’s next trip even better.

There is just no substitute for a personal connection when it comes to creating the right travel experience, time after time. Technology will never replace the value of trust, or the ability of a thoughtful, travel advisor to understand what defines another person’s dream trip through ongoing face-to-face conversation. Information is great, but insight is better. That is where we shine.

The commoditization of travel has conditioned most of us to accept less service and more stress. For more than 30 years, Global Escapes has shown people that it doesn’t have to be that way. As a personal travel advisor, advocate, and friend upon whom our clients know they can rely, Global Escapes helps people create some of the best memories of their lives, with the added comfort of knowing that wherever they are in the world, a helping hand always is just a call away. That’s just how it is when you travel with friends.
