Inca legacy   0 , NSW, Australia, Feb 2024
Great trip by Globus. Well planned itinerary. Great travel director and specialists. The Machu Picchu/Cusco specialist was the best. He was a mine of information and he made visiting Machu Picchu and Cusco very interesting. Thanks to Georgie for booking this tour for me and sending me all the documentation prior to my departure from Australia.
Fantastic Croatia and Albania     0 , VIC, Australia, Nov 2023
Wonderful group of people (28 of us) with a large age range. Everyone got along and Alex, our guide was great. Had a few rainy days but that didn’t dampen our spirits. Itinerary was well thought out with just the right amount of free time. Would highly recommend this trip or any with Globus as I had no complaints at all.
A really well organised trip with very good guides in Japan   1 , QLD, Australia, Sep 2023
From the outset the administration and communication from Globus was excellent. We loved the "app" that gave us al the info we needed. We were fortunate that my wife and I were the only people on the tour so we had a wonderful one on one experience with each of our guides in Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima and Osaka.

Each of the guides of had their own highlights ...read more and destinations they wanted to show us; all were very acceptable - I guess the history of Japan demands an appreciation of that history however I think a little more view on contemporary Japan might have broken up the historical view. 3 of the 4 guides had excellent English and were really happy to provide ideas for the days they weren't with us. Thanks again.
Amazing tours of Kenya and Tanzania     0 , ACT, Australia, Sep 2023
The tour operators, drivers and hotel staff were amazing. The accommodations were delightful and the locations beautiful. Do book with Globus! Everything was taken care of.
Beautiful desert landscapes   0 , NSW , Australia, Sep 2023
We ended up a small group of 15 - many had cancelled due to extreme heat warnings but most places are air conditioned and it is a dry heat so it was very tolerable. All our hotel locations were close to shops, restaurants, and trails. We had a wonderful tour guide, Craig, who incorporated music to fit the destination and had a wonderful sense of humour. ...read more Highlights were Papago Park, Desert Botanical Museum, 2 nights in Sedona surrounded by beautiful red cliffs that shimmered at sunrise and sunset; Petrified Forest; Painted Desert; Canyon de Chelly with a Navajo guide, and Meteor Crater. There was free time in the Grand Canyon for doing walks or an optional helicopter ride and Williams and Winslow had so much character, being on Route 66 with neon lights, live music, and a very laidback atmosphere. Our coach driver Ray kept the coach meticulously clean and we had a great group of fellow travellers. Jemma provided a hassle-free booking as always and this was my 2nd Globus tour this year that was outstanding, so looking forward to another one next year.
Beautiful introduction to Italy     1 , VIC, Australia, Sep 2023
This was a great experience; made all the better by the super helpful tour director Ursula Pinna. She catered for everyone with patience and good humour. The places we visited were out of the normal crowded destinations and the local tour guides were knowledgeable and professional. My highlights were the truffle hunt and the visit to the mountaintop ...read more village of Bagnoreggio. I would recommend this tour to anyone.
Scenic Norway with Globus     0 , Qld, Australia, Aug 2023
Firstly I have always used Global Journeys in Noosa for my tour bookings and really love using this company. I have travelled with Trafalgar four times previously and had a wonderful time. Sadly they couldn't accommodate my request as a solo traveler. So I went with Globus, which was a completely different experience. Globus is supposed to be a step ...read more up from Trafalgar, yet I found no difference in the standard of accommodation or the coach. There were more evening meals included but that was paid for in the increased cost of the tour.

Globus appears to provide a different service to Americans than other nations. We the 'non- Americans' - noticed that the American tourists were all carrying wheeled carry-on luggage. These bags were loaded on and off by the driver. I had phoned Globus Australia to be told very firmly there were to be no wheeled carry-on luggage, with all other 'non- Americans' stating the same ruling. Struggling through airports and ongoing travel with a handbag and shoulder bag was extremely difficult.

Norway was a beautiful country, and the pace of the tour was fine. Although the guide kept quoting all costs in American Dollars or Euro; Norwegian the currency is Krone. It became rather frustrating to be converting from Euro/AUD. The accommodation was clean, though the rooms were extremely small, they did provide some spectacular views! The coach was very full, more so than the Trafalgar tours with seat rotation a time for aggression. Quite upsetting at times. Now that I am home and reviewing the photos, I can appreciate what an awe-inspiring country Norway really is. I wish the tour guide had been able to generate more interest and enthusiasm in the history and culture of Norway. Absolutely include Norway on your tour list. But my opinion is as a 'non-American' not with Globus. Tusen Takk!!
Canadian Rockies     4 , CO, United States, Aug 2023
This journey was dream like. I couldn't have asked for better weather, nor a better tour director and driver...and my travel mates were amazing! We got to be great friends by the end of the tour. I cannot say anything negative about this gorgeous and breathtaking tour.
Rocky Mountain tour with Globus and Rocky Mountaineer   0 , QLD, Australia, Jul 2023
Globus tours are no where near as good as Insight Vacations. Very few meals included but Whistler was the best stop we had. Rocky Mountaineer Gold leaf train trip was a total waste of money, service was horrible, Glass roof was dirty and scratched, meals were ok but once back in the sitting cabin your lucky to get a drink.
Amazing trip     0 , QLD, Australia, Jul 2023
Amazing trip with Globus on safari to Kenya & Tanzania. Both tour guides were very efficient & organised. Drivers were good. We were the only Australians. Other guests were Canadians & Americans. Found a tour group of 20 might be a bit too large to be called a "small group tour" Would suggest max 12-16 people. Definitely need to do this at least once ...read more in a lifetime as it is absolutely mind blowing how close you get to the animals
A trip not be be missed     1 , TAS, Australia, Jul 2023
I found this trip advertised on an app on my phone. 21 day great Canadian rail journey with Alaska cruise. I contacted Global Journeys and talked to Georgie Walpole who organised the total holiday for my wife and I and what a holiday it turned out to be. Highlights were Niagara Falls, the CN Tower meal at the rotating restaurant, train from Toronto ...read more across to Jasper. The food on the train was top quality with local produce as we crossed the country. Our Globus tour guide has been guiding this particular tour for over 10 years and had a lot of knowledge that she gave us. From Jasper to Victoria Vancouver island we travelled on a bus. We only had 25 on the tour so we all became friends. Like a small family.

Butchart garden's was a highlight on Vancouver island. What a magnificent garden. A must. Our final part of the tour was the inside passage on Holland America Line. The ship was great. The restaraunts and entertainment were great. We were lucky enough to see whales breaching. Seals and sea otters. I could go on and on but I recommend that if you get a chance to see Canada this is the perfect tour to take. Thank you Globus.
The best way to see the Canadian Rockies!   0 , VIC, Australia, Jul 2023
Our 12 day Globus tour of the Canadian Rockies was excellent! Our Tour Guide (Shelley) and driver (Doug) were real professionals! Rocky Mountaineer and Lake Louise absolute highlights! Fairmont hotels particularly Chateau Lake Louise and Banff Springs Hotel were wonderful!
The good and bad of Germany   1 , QLD, Australia, Jun 2023
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.
A trip you dream about.     0 , TAS, Australia, Jun 2023
While planning my holiday overseas with Georgie from Global Journeys we had a 12 day gap between two tours and I was asked if my wife and I would like to go to Greece for a tour. I jumped at the chance. The tour started in Athens Greece for 3 night's in a great area. Close to shops and restaurants. Easy to walk around. We had the opportunity to visit ...read more all the popular tourist attractions that you thought you would never see in real life. We were given a tour guide for the duration of the trip. She was one of the best guides we have had. She made us feel safe and secure and made us feel special. We travelled to Mykonos and Santorini 3 night on each island in five star accommodation. My favourite part was the lost city of Atlantis. Mind blowing. This was a trip to remember.
Scottish Highland Fling   3 , NC, United States, Jun 2023
Besides the weather, it was a superb great time. We had the best tour guide you can have. Rosanne was reading and telling lots of local histories about the area Clans were just passing through. She had the great sense of humor and story telling. Really enjoyed the whole trip.
Bucket list bonanza     1 , NSW, Australia, Jun 2023
Well put together trip with Globus. Basics like food and accommodation were excellent. The tour guides and drivers were so knowledgeable and went one step further every day. Never hesitated to reward them at journeys end. As for the trip itself - at the end of a long exciting day what could possibly surpass that? Well it kept on doing just that for ...read more two wonderful weeks! Well done Globus.
Wonderful tour     3 , NSW , Australia, Jun 2023
Another hassle-free booking with Jemma at Global Journeys for the Globus The Sicilian small departure tour. We had 22 in our group that all interacted well and our tour director Nives and Dario were outstanding, often dropping suitcases at our hotel while we were doing a nearby guided local tour. The pace was excellent, just enough time to explore ...read more each location...but not dragging on too long ...highlights were a market street food lunch, Mazara del Vallo walking tour, optional Palazzo visit in Palermo, Savoca, Ragusa, and Giardini Naxos. Our hotels were beyond our expectations as were the included meals. It targeted all the places I wanted to see and more.
Scotland Tour delivers   2 , QLD, Australia, Jun 2023
This was my 3rd tour that I've booked with Georgie at Global Journeys (and first Globus tour). There were 35 people on this tour including 6 solo travellers of which I was 1. Very professional and informative Tour Director Kaeleigh and safe driver Alistair. Some hotel rooms I had a single bed in a small room. Outside of Glasgow and Edinburgh the hotels ...read more were of a basic standard. However, clean rooms and hot showers. Breakfasts not nearly as good as those in Europe on my 2 Cosmos tours. Lots of included 3 course dinners of varying quality. The islands were my highlight: Orkney, Skye, Mull and Iona. We visited quite a few castles and did see a few Highland cows! Weather in Scotland was cold, wet, sunny, really 4 seasons in 1 day - you learnt to be prepared for all weather!
This was a thorough tour of Scotland and all things Scottish.
Great Canadian rail journey with Alaska cruise   0 , NSW, Australia, May 2023
Hannah Campbell from Global journeys was an excellent communicator. The information provided was clear and concise, the email responses prompt. The entire experience was smooth and worry free. The tour was fantastic. The Canadian Globus tour guide, ue Landry, was fantastic. The Holland America cruise was amazing. We would definitely recommend ...read more this tour for those who love to see beautiful scenery, eat delicious food and enjoy someone else guiding the way!
Great Britian & Ireland 24 day in Depth Tour   1 , NSW, Australia, May 2023
We thoroughly enjoyed our Great Britain & Ireland tour. What an amazing experience with a lot packed into the tour as expected after studying the Itinerary & information provided. Booking the trip online through Tracey at Global Journeys was absolutely hassle free and highly professional with all expectations met "highly recommended". Our Globus tour ...read more and guide were well organized and very professional. However, at the start there was not a meet and greet organized for the group and as such it took a couple of days for the group to gell and the same with the last night dinner, The group had to organize our own, very poor cost cutting on Globus's behalf! Mostly the accommodation was at a good quality standard but needs to be updated in some locations. The fellow travellers comradeship on our tour was excellent with ALL getting along fabulously.
