Italy's Great Cities Reviews

We enjoyed the trip very much. The Cicerone at Rome was a great motel in a great location. We enjoyed our stay there. All the motels were good except we had a very small room at the motel in Florence. One issue we had was the amount of time spent at the Vatican compared to the Colosseum. Our tour guide for that day was a very strong religious type ...read more and we spent far too long at the Vatican. After the Vatican and the Roman Forum she even said we are now going to the greatest history monument in Rome's history which was the Colosseum and we only spent 15 minutes in there and 10 minutes was talking about the movie the Gladiator in the hall and we only looked at the main arena for about 5 minutes.. We did not continue with that guide after lunch. The tour guide at Florence was obviously a Michael Angelo lover and he spent too much time talking about statues that had no real appeal. The tour guide at Venice was absolutely excellent. He was very knowledgeable and very funny which made a great experience. We would have no hesitation in recommending Globus. We had a lovely group of people on the trip.

We had an AMAZING time on our tour 'Italy's Great Cities'. Not only did our Globus tour guide (Elizabetta) go out of her way to always ensure everyone was informed and up to date as to what was happening or going to happen next, the local guides that we had for the city tours were just as welcoming and informative. Initially we were not going to do ...read more the optional walking tours, but we are so glad we did. We would never had gathered the same amount of information by walking around and reading signs. Never think the optional tours are a waste of time or money. They are very much value for money. Would we travel Globus again? You better believe it.

Toured Italy with Globus 8 Day Tour of Great Cities. Our first trip to Europe and wanted to see history! We were not disappointed. St Peters Basilica, Vatican Museums, Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Statue of David, etc, etc etc. Absolutely mind blowing. 4 Star accommodation was a little disappointing but I think we are spoiled here in Australia. Having ...read more regard to the age of buildings in Italy and limitations on size (especially Venice), I can accept the quality provided. Villa Pamphilli was modern and excellent standard. I have a tour of UK and Ireland booked with Globus in August 2013. Tour Guide Anna was amazing with her knowledge and dealing with all travellers. Coach driver Eduardo was very professional and our safety was never in danger. Happy to recommend Globus to friends and family.

Global Journey's was a pleasure to deal with, Georgie was very helpful in working out tours that would suit my very specific dates. Everything was done smoothly and without any issues whatsoever, I would definitely recommend and use them in the future.
