German Highlights Reviews

The good comments are of the scenery, castles, old cities and some very nice and entertaining fellow passengers. Laszlo our driver was exceptional with his skills ,safety and baggage handling. Anna our hostess left a lot to be desired. Her lack of commentary except for her written script was very noticeable compared with some other trips we have been ...read more on. In fact when we were seated near her and Laszlo we could hear him prodding her to mention and point out various things. She would get annoyed with him in response. Quite often her commentary when approaching a city was too late and we would be pulling up before she had finished. She quite often changed her mind about meeting up times and localities at the last moment and some people had already wandered off. Overall I regard Anna as lazy and this was little more than an all expenses paid shopping trip for her. Accommodation was very good overall except NH Hotel at Niederrad. When we arrived 2 days prior there was no porter, no lift operating and we were on the 3rd floor and no dining room open.

The German Highlights tour was the perfect way to get a taste of Germany. The Globus staff helped make the holiday even more enjoyable, the accommodation was excellent, especially the smaller hotels in Bavaria. Thoroughly recommend this tour.

Fantastic overview of Germany. Globus Tour Guide Dushka and driver Vincenzo were very professional and had us at all the attractions before the rest of the tourist crowds arrived. Much appreciated. All accommodations were very comfortable and most were in great locations. Provided meals were all plentiful and optionals were great fun. The only negative ...read more was that more time could have been spent in places such as Leipzig, Lindau and The Black Forest as visits here were quite rushed. Also an extra day in Berlin would have been good. Perhaps a tour of 15 days would allow for more time, a much better option for Aussie travellers. Overall, a very memorable first trip to Germany. The professionalism of the team at Global Journeys was also much appreciated...many thanks to Hannah and Frances, hope to deal with you again!

We were very impressed with Globus and how well organised they were and the way we were looked after. The tour director was very conscientious and meticulous, and always helpful. Some days of the tour seemed a bit rushed and full, with some starts a little too early for me; but I guess these were necessary when trying to see a lot of Germany in only ...read more the limited time. We knew beforehand that certain places were not included in the itinerary, but in some cases it seemed as though they might have been included; for example, having a morning stop in a town instead of at a highway services. However, overall we were very satisfied. We will not hesitate to book a tour with Globus again in the future.

Globus are a very professional operation. The Tour director (Scott Widenhouse) was excellent. The Driver was also excellent and the coach was a late model, in excellent condition. The itinerary and accommodation were also with the meals excellent value for money.
