I am considering arriving a day or two early for a tour and staying a few days after the tour, is it still possible to book my air with Globus?

If so, will they charge additional fees to deviate from the norm or can I set my own dates that I want to travel?

I know I can book my own airfare, just want to make sure I am comparing fees correctly -- like the idea of just having an all-inclusive package.

How about land transportation. if I purchase airfare from Globus, are shuttles included?

Does Globus only offer transportation on the day you are scheduled to arrive or depart (meaning if I come early or stay late, it's a moot point anyway?)

Thanks for your help!

Our experience is that we have only booked our own air when we used our miles for free flights. Otherwise, Globus has had the cheapest fare I could find at the time. Quite often Globus allows only one day pre/post the scheduled tour. In these cases they will provide transportation to/from your hotel if you booked with them. When we go/stay longer than one day we usually book our own hotel and flights. We then get a cab, or airport shuttle for transportation. You can usually find better hotel rates on your own, but booking with Globus will save you having to move. Air fare changes with the day of the week you travel. You can check the various web sites prior to booking and then use Globus or you own direct booking whichever you prefer.
