Great trip 8
Debbie , S.A., Australia, Jun 2019
Loved touring through Scandinavia. Began our journey in Copenhagen, Denmark then traveled through Sweden and finished in Oslo, Norway. The scenery in Norway was stunning and the highlight of our trip I think was travelling on the train from Bergen to Oslo.
Excellent tour from start to finish. Made new friends from California to New Zealand. Accommodations were very good. Learned a lot about the country, did not feel rushed. The Globus coach was very comfortable. Well run tour. Would recommend it to anyone.
Perfect weather and blue skies made the most of our views of the Alps. We were concerned about the heights involved in the excursions but felt safe throughout the trip. Great company on the coach and made new friends to visit overseas. Best coffee ever and chocolates galore. Meals catered for everyone's taste and dietary needs. No problem with language.
If this is your first time to see Italy, this 11 day Italian Treasures tour, organised by Globus, is undoubtedly a wise choice. The tour includes many attractive destinations so every spot visited was a highlight.
I loved every part of this tour from the beginning when contacted by Global Journeys. It is great, you will be always served by the same read more tour consultant. We are lucky to have Hannah Campbell who has already organised 3 consecutive years of our overseas holidays. She is great and always replies to emails promptly and patiently.
For the tour in Italy, there was a huge number of tourists at every hot destination so the long waiting lines and big crowds would sometimes get on our nerves, but it indicates that you are visiting the most important venues. The Italian tour guide, “Fabulous”, this is the name our fellow travellers called him. He organised every step based on the brochure.

Classic Lodges and Parks of the West 1
The Classic Lodges & Parks of the West
Geoffrey & Merrilyn, NSW, Australia, May 2019
My husband and I have just returned from Globus’ Classic Lodges and Parks of the West Tour. We previously toured this area ten years ago but have always wanted to return to see the beautiful scenery of the Tetons and Yellowstone National Park. This tour did not disappoint as this time our accommodations were well located within the national parks we read more visited.
The tour was excellent - easy paced and not at all rushed, helped in part by one of the best tour directors we have ever come across. Steve was a wealth of information having lived and worked in Yellowstone for over ten years. There was nothing he did not know about the areas we visited. Kirt, our driver, was also excellent.
The fact that there was still a lot of snow lying around just added to the beauty of the scenery. One of the highlights was the float trip down the Snake River as well as the abundance of wildlife we saw - bears, moose, bison just to mention a few.
We had only 17 on our tour - three Aussies - and everyone got on well. The smaller group size made for ease of moving around and plenty of space on the coach. Hotels in Rapid City and Salt Lake City were a few minutes walk from the town centres.
We couldn’t fault Jemma’s handling of our booking with every query answered promptly and efficiently. Looking forward to our next booking with Global Journeys.

A great short European tour 1
Sue, NSW, Australia, May 2019
The Best of Italy and France tour was a wonderful experience in all ways. Global Journeys and Globus had everything super organised with airport transfers, arranged meeting points and more. It was a stress free way to travel, with a wonderful guide giving insights you wouldn't get as an independent traveller.
Lots of room on the coach and great read more having WiFi points as well. Accommodation was beyond expectations! The trip was pretty relaxed and gave us the opportunity to see and hear about history and the culture. Loved the variety with entertainment, rail travel and cruises. Cinque Terre was a highlight, as was Venice and Rome. Would definitely recommend this tour and the weather was great.

We would recommend our friends to book through Global Journeys. Service was streamlined, had no issues. Only one motel at Niagara Falls we were unhappy with but only there overnight. So not a huge issue.
Glimpse of Eastern Canada 1
Eastern US & Canada Discovery
Christine & Steve, NSW, Australia, May 2019
Very well organised tour. Hillary our tour guide was very experienced in every aspect of running this tour. She had a vast knowledge of every stop we made and always kept us entertained on long coach ride days. Our driver Roger was very experienced in each city.
We enjoyed all the stops on this tour and would recommend it as a good introduction to read more major eastern USA cities and eastern Canada.

Well organised tour with interesting side tours 4
Bonnie Scotland
Jeff & Margaret, NSW, Australia, May 2019
The tour was very good. Route taken very scenic and interesting. Hotels were generally good. The Mercure Edinburgh is in a great position but is in urgent need of an update. We liked the side excursions which were well organised and interesting. Our guide and driver were fantastic. We felt sad that they were excluded from eating with us particularly on the last night.
Portugal In Depth was an excellent tour. We got to see so much of the country and I just loved it. Everything was quality. The guide was well informed and the coach was new. The hotels were all good as were the meals. A great tour of people. Just couldn’t recommend it highly enough.
A great tour of Sicily. First time using Globus and was happy with the itinerary and accommodation provided apart from one hotel. Sabrina the tour guide was brilliant and Raphaelle the driver was so skilful driving on the narrowest of roads around bends and up into the mountains. There were only 4 others from Australia on the trip but everyone got on read more well. It ticked all the boxes for what we wanted to see and the pace didn't feel too hectic. We would recommend.
Fabulous musical tour 2
America's Musical Heritage with Extended Stay in New Orleans
Christine & Arthur, ACT, Australia, May 2019
This tour was fabulous. From Nashville to New Orleans so much history, music and fun. We absolutely loved Nashville, if you are into country music may I suggest you arrive a few days before the tour starts as there is so much to see and do. We loved Memphis, Clarksdale and beautiful Greenwood. Visits to the plantations and museums were well organised read more and a lot of fun.
Our tour director Brenda was very professional and organised and Patrick our driver was very tolerant and a gentleman. I highly recommend this trip. The only downside was our farewell dinner in New Orleans. Pokey little room with no windows. Very rushed and many people missed out on some of the meal. Not a good ending for an otherwise fabulous trip.

We enjoyed this tour, great hotels, fantastic tour director (Brenda Brooks) and a very safe driver (Patrick). All went very smoothly, no problems at all. Many thanks to Hannah at Global Journeys for always being prompt and helpful anytime we contacted her. We would certainly recommend Global Journeys to our friends. Thank you Hannah.
Fantastic sights & sounds of the South 2
America's Musical Heritage with Extended Stay in New Orleans
Bernadette, NSW, Australia, May 2019
Very much enjoyed this tour... the pace was perfect. Too many highlights to mention... the excursions were wonderful, especially the swamp tours, the alligators were friendly! The accommodations were excellent, and the meals very tasty. The tour director and coach driver were brilliant.
Grand Western Canada Vacation 2
Grand Western Canada Vacation
Gavin & Dianne, QLD, Australia, May 2019
Our tour and coach driver were terrific in their knowledge with delightful personalities to match. We had no problems at anytime throughout the tour. Very highly recommended.
Only downside was that the last 2 days was a hurry to get back to Vancouver which we found to be more tiring and not enjoyable. Maybe it is different to go on the anti-clockwise direction tour.

The Movenpick Zurich Airport hotel to start the tour was a great place to stay with a convenient free transfer to/from the airport. Our tour guide Yanya and driver Franco were tops. The quality of the hotels throughout was better than I had expected.
Highlight? Matterhorn with beautiful weather was unbeatable, we all enjoyed every second up there. read more You did need to buy the excursions to get the best out of the tour, otherwise you were left in places where there was not much to do or see. Meals were generally good too.
We were 31 on the coach with a mix of counties - 8 Aus, 2 NZ and the rest split between USA & Canada. Can't stress enough, you need a reasonable level of fitness, 1 person in a wheel chair and some could barely make it onto the coach, but the driver and tour guide seemed to take it in their stride.
I would rate it at least 4.5 out of 5. Thanks for your help Yvonne at Global Journeys with the booking process.

Fabulous tour through the enchanting canyonlands 2
Enchanting Canyonlands
Julie & Bob , QLD, Australia, May 2019
Hassle free booking through Global Journeys and a fabulous Globus tour. Although 45 on the tour (Americans, couple of Australians and New Zealanders) everyone was friendly and on time for all departures. Al was a knowledgeable and very capable tour guide, organising the needs of guests within the itinerary. The canyons visited were a good mix of scenery. read more Antelope Slot Canyon particularly amazing. We were told this was not a guaranteed optional tour and organised independently which caused us some transport hassles.
A good tour with a great balance of locations 3
Footsteps of Apostle Paul
Jann , NSW, Australia, May 2019
The tour traces the travels of St Paul from the Macedonian area of Thessaloniki to Athens and the islands as an extra. Very much enjoyed the people I travelled with and the knowledgeable guides' perspectives. Most hotel and ship accomodation was fine although not four star and an oceanview option would have been good.
Spirit of the Rockies is ideal 3
Spirit of the Rockies with Rocky Mountaineer and Alaska Cruise
Elizabeth & Neil, WA, Australia, May 2019
We travelled at the beginning of May and loved it as there was plenty of snow on the mountains and nowhere we went was crowded. The accommodation was excellent, extremely comfortable and centrally located. Our tour leader, Vedrana was also excellent as was our driver Jon. Everything was run very efficiently.
Highlights were the Rocky Mountaineer, read more seeing bears, walking on a Glacier and a visit to a Squamish Centre. On the cruise Skagway was charming and anchoring in Glacier Bay was stunning.

A great tour to see some outstanding Canadian and Alaskan scenery. 1
Spirit of the Rockies with Rocky Mountaineer and Alaska Cruise
John & Rosalie, NSW, Australia, May 2019
Our first time touring with Globus. It included some of the best hotels we have ever stayed in, most being Fairmont, especially in Banff and Lake Louise. Lake Louise looked stunning as it was surrounded by snow and the lake was all ice.
This was the 1st tour of the season and some roads in the mountains had not been cleared of possible avalanches read more as the snow was still melting. But the weather was great with mostly sunny days and there was less tourists about that made it much easier for sightseeing especially in the National Parks and on the Glacier.
We found that being in Gold Leaf on the Rocky Mountaineer there was much better sightseeing especially when passing the long freight trains we were able to see over them. Would highly recommend this tour. We will definitely book through Global Journeys for our next trip.
