Good short German tour 3 Denise, QLD, Australia, May 2024
Good tour with well located hotels but unfortunately the Tour Director was a real let down - very disorganised and I feel he let Globus down (I have certainly let Globus know in my review with them). Excellent coach driver as always. I have previously done 2 Globus tours and 4 Cosmos tours - all these previous tours were led by very good Tour Directors. read more There were 27 people on this tour, all Americans and only 3 Australians.
I didn't do any of the optional tours as I wasn't interested in what was offered. I spent 4 days in Berlin prior to the start of the tour - you really need to spend extra days in Berlin as with only 1 whole day in Berlin the tour can only show you a very small amount of what Berlin has to offer. The main reason I chose this tour was because there was an over-night stay in Dresden and also an over-night stay in Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Excellent local guides in all locations. My rating of this tour is not impacted by the Tour Director as I feel the tour delivered as per the brochure. A quick sample of Germany 5 Graham & Caroline, SA, Australia, Sep 2018
This was our first tour with Globus and we would definitely consider future tours with them. I'm quite tall and legroom on a coach can be an issue but the Globus coach had plenty of legroom for me and was very comfortable. The tour guide was excellent and everything was well organised. The hotel standard was very good except in Rothenburg where the read more hotel had a great location in the middle of the old town but was a bit basic. Nevertheless, if you want the good location, there wasn't any better alternatives and we appreciated the location. The tour pace was quite good, with plenty of free time in stops. For some unknown reason the passengers were 95% American but most were very pleasant and the mix didn't spoil the tour for us.
