Great time in London   , MI, United States, Sep 2025
It was my third trip with Globus. It was again a perfect trip, well organized and executed. The hotel was excellent and located close to the Underground. The breakfast selection could not have been better. The tours were well guided. A Globus representative was always present in the hotel lobby for answering questions.
