Great Family trip 0
Terry and Russell, QLD, Australia, Apr 2026
Royal Caribbean were great to sail with. We had a large group of family and it was a fantastic time. Hannah made our booking - arranged all the cabins near each other and helped with our dining times etc. She was good to deal with and made the whole trip so easy for us. We didn't have to do anything. I would definitely book with Hanah and Global journeys. read more Fantastic service. Thank you.
My first time in Japan and traveling with a group. Our guide Toshi was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. It is a good tour to get some first impressions of Japan. Despite being advertised as a tour requiring a certain fitness level, we didn’t explore some of the sights that required climbing stairs and took public transport where we could have walked.
Taste of Portugal - April 4-11th Exodus Guide Carla Costa 0
Highlights of Portugal
Richard and Janet, CT, United States, Apr 2026
In general we had a great time on this tour. Our guide, Carla Costa was enthusiastic, passionate, and a good leader. She did a nice job managing and accommodating the different needs of the various group members. She also did a good job explaining the history and culture of Portugal. However, I would have preferred a bit less time visiting the churches read more and instead have an opportunity in Lisbon particularly to visit the world-class aquarium or a museum. The food in general was good, given that this was somewhat of a budget tour. Also, in actuality there was less free time than the published itinerary. While most of the hotels were good, I was disappointed with the location of the hotel in Porto and in Lisbon both being quite a ways away from tourist attractions and most restaurants.
Carnival Encounter 3 - 11 April 2026 0
Pacific Island Hopper Cruise
Melissa and Mark, QLD, Australia, Apr 2026
Thank you for the help in arranging the cruise and answering all my questions. The only feedback I have is that it would have been good to have more information about the cruise app, what to expect on the cruise/itinerary and what to arrange to get the best out of the Carnival App/Experience. eg. The dinner reservations, booking, water, shuttles for read more port stops, things to do on the ship/events and any other tips about port stops. Thank you so much and looking forward to planning more trips with Grace and Global Journeys.
Global Journeys was great! Luxury Gold Tour could be improved 0
Majestic Japan
George T, NSW, Australia, Mar 2026
The communication and attention to detail from Tracey at Golobal Journeys was excellent. If you are expecting the usual European Luxury Gold standard from this tour you will be disappointed. Some hotels were good, but the others were average. While a double bed was clearly requested, most hotels provided 2 single beds. Many people were looking forward read more to the Bullet Train Rides, but this was a huge disappintment, as we were booked in Economy Class with 3 across seating.
We had to draw lots to see who got the worst seats. While First Class was available for a small extra charge, Luxury Gold thaught this Economy Class Cabin was the way to "Travel in Style". Our guide stated that she had previously requested that First Class seats be provided, but this request has been ignored. We have previously travelled with Luxury Gold in fast trains in Europe and it was always in the highest available class cabin.
Don't expect the usual 40 seat coach with extra leg room. These coaches were poor quality with cramped seats with very little leg room. They even had jump seats in each row (Not used).
There are 3 nights in Sendai where your normal bags are not available. You are expected to carry an overnight bag on the Train. They could very easily send the bags seperately as done previously, but this is another place where they cut corners. The type of people who book Luxury Gold Tours are not Backpackers. They need the comfort of having all their luggage when it is a 3 night stay.
This tour is a Black Mark for Luxury Gold, and is a great disappointment compared to the wonderful tours we have previously done with Luxury Gold.

The tour was really good, I saw some amazing places. I booked for twin sharing and got an amazing roommate. I wish there were some extra drop off points on the last day and the operator details were shared bit earlier than the trip.
The highlights of Japan trip was a great one led by our fantastic tour guide, Donni. We got to walk around Tokyo, Nagano, Osaka, Hiroshima, Kanazawa, and Kyoto. Got > 5000 steps in each day. Cherry blossoms were blooming and we were welcomed kindly by everyone we met. Thank you.
Tour was very good. Tour leader and driver are very knowledgeable and funny. The tour is very busy, not much time to yourself to explore. Some hotels were very good and others were poor in comparison. Meals were good but for us too late in the evening. Overall I would recommend this tour for aviation enthusiasts.

Classic Warbirds Over Wanaka
Fred and Shelley , QLD, Australia, Mar 2026
The 15 day Coach Tour with Grand Pacific Tours was very worthwhile doing and most enjoyable. We would recommend travellers understanding the itinerary, as quite busy but full of exciting adventures and sightseeing in a comfortable coach, very upmarket accommodation and stupendous food. Our expectations were realised and would recommend this tour for anyone adventurous.
Though I had traveled to Germany several times previously, this was the first time ever going with a tour group so I had no idea what to expect. It was the first time for my daughter to visit Germany and I was hoping it would be a good experience for her. I am happy to report that it was a great experience from the moment I booked the trip until we read more returned home.
Candice at Global Journeys was easy to work with and responded to all of my numerous emails promptly. The Trafalgar tour was well planned, giving us the right amount of time for group activities, optional experiences, as well as sightseeing or shopping on our own. Our coach driver, Tyson, and tour director, Justine were top-notch. Professional yet personable. I would highly recommend them and would someday love to be on another tour with them!
