In Their Own Words
We asked the travel companies themselves why you should travel with them
G Adventures came from a desire to deliver authentic and responsible small group travel adventures that were equally life-changing for travellers and the communities they visit. And we’re been doing just that for almost 30 years. Our award-winning trips span seven continents and over 100 countries, giving you meaningful experiences with people, cultures, landscapes and wildlife, as well as offering you the freedom and flexibility to explore on your own.
On all of our tours, you get to know locals every step of the way, from the places you visit and stay to where you eat and drink. You’ll also get to experience our ‘G for Good’ social impact initiatives on-trip, including our industry-leading ‘Ripple Score’. This score measures, as a percentage, the amount of money that stays in the local community through on-trip services like accommodation, restaurants and transport.
At Globus, we’re not just hooked on travel as a destination, but on the way it makes you feel. Our promise is to craft adventures that you’ll want to re-live forever.

Had a fantastic time. Our drivers for both the Kenya and Tanzania portion were very knowledgeable. They answered our many questions and were patient with our many pictures. Both our drivers were respectful of the animals and were careful not to get too close. Our setup crew had everything up and ready when we hit camp. If anything needed fixing they read more did it quickly. The chefs tried to work around everyone's different food sensitivities.
Great Game Drive Experience in Kenya & Tanzania 0
Wildlife of Kenya & Tanzania: Nakuru to Serengeti
Lily, NSW, Australia, Jul 2026
Great experience to see all wildlife in nature. All CEOs & drivers are excellent. We saw massive wildebeest, many herds of zebras, gazelles, antelopes, baboons & giraffes, and the iconic "Big Five", plus cheetahs, hyenas, white rhinos, hippos and crocodiles. The only issue was the game drive vehicle in Tanzania was more crowded than in Kenya. Thanks read more Grace for taking care of our booking, answering our questions promptly.

Amazing trip, G Adventures and South American team made everything easy. Boat was incredible, crew fantastic, guide Omar was a standout. Such a fun group of people from all over the world to travel with too. Included transfers took away any stress. Just do it, most incredible place on earth and a great way to do it.
My third trip with G Adventures (including National Geographic Expedition/Journeys), and they've done it again. The Discover the Balkans Tour itinerary struck the perfect balance of culture, history, food and stunning scenery, but Carly (our Tour Leader) made the trip. She was passionate, organised, knowledgeable, full of local insights, and somehow read more made every day feel effortless while creating a genuinely fun and inclusive group. I also met a fantastic group of fellow travellers, which made the experience even more memorable. Three tours in, and I have no doubt I'll be booking with G Adventures again.
This is an outstanding tour in all respects. Excellent itinerary, good accommodation, very knowledgable tour leadership and local guides. All in a small group. Highly recommended. Good support in getting it organised from the Global Journeys team.
This was our first time travelling with a tour group and it was amazing!!! The pace of this tour is perfect and the small group size allows for lots of hanging out together and enjoying each others company. If you want to see Italy at a relaxed pace where some things are planned and you have free time to do what you want then this tour is for you.

Canadian Rockies Globus Tour 0
Glacier National Park & the Canadian Rockies
Ellen F, FL, United States, Aug 2026
Great tour with majestic scenery. Days filled with sightseeing. Saw lots of wildlife, Elk, deer, bighorn sheep, and a Black Bear as well. Amazing tour director and bus driver. Accommodations were ok considering limited availability in some of the places. I think the breakfasts were not up to par and not comparable to what you get when traveling in Europe.
We cannot say enough, good about global journeys! Our tour guide Olvind, and driver”Magic” were totally awesome. The knowledge and the personal stories that were shared in the tight corners and hairpin turns that were made! Just very thankful we were in the hands of these two great guys. We had beautiful weather, which I understand is not always happening, read more which also helped of course. But they made the trip just just lovely. This was our trip we had on our bucket list for many years and we’re fortunate enough to be able to do it. So thankful we were able to hook up with your tour of Norway.

Andrew and Maria, NSW, Australia, Jun 2026
Our trip from mid June to mid July was a great period to travel with perfect weather and fascinating sights and locations. Our tour guide Dan was outstanding with his knowledge of history and geography and a great personality. Our coach driver Paul was exceptional, handling narrow countryside roads with care and skill. Accommodation and food included read more were excellent and the extra excursions were a bonus. Thanks to Grace for helping us book the holiday. Highly recommend.
This was my first Globus journey and I feel that we were so lucky! First of all Luis our tour director was so fun and had so much knowledge to share with us. That was a great personality combo! Second our bus driver, Joel was a master behind the wheel!! Third we had a small group of 29 who ranged in age from 10 to 81 … who I now call my friends. I read more can’t wait to make another reservation. And PS…I was one of the 81 year olds!
Fantastic 17 day Portugal, Spain & Morocco tour 0
Spain, Portugal & Morocco
Alan and Tracey, QLD, Australia, Jun 2026
We have just completed the 17 day Portugal, Spain and Morocco tour with tour director Miguel (Portuguese). What a fantastic tour. All local tour guides were special, however the the local guide of Morocco (for 6 days) was 'Moh' and he had extensive knowledge but was intense in his sales pitch for each stop, his disrespect when an incident occurred with read more an elderly female passenger (fell whilst utilising the bathrooms), his ongoing repeated sales advertisements (inappropriate). Also the accommodation of the 'Imperial Hotel' at Rabat was definitely below forecast ratings and was actually uncomfortable. In all the tour director was amazing and kept everyone entertained, great humour, honesty, compassion and engaging throughout the 17 days. I would have given this tour '5 stars' except for the local Moroccan tour guide. The sights are amazing and I would recommend this tour.
Interesting and well planned tour. 0
