Very good trip through Northern Portugal and Spain 3
Lisbon & Northern Spain
Rasa & Ian, NSW, Australia, Apr 2019
Very good trip, we were very happy with the content and did all the additional choices... That indeed makes the trip busy with enough rest times. Highlight for us was Sagrada in Barcelona inside and out. Lovely travelling companions.
Travelled through picturesque country. Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Antelope Slot Canyon and Zion were all worth the visit. Sedona was pretty. All the accommodation was of a high standard though in 2 places had to walk to main building for breakfast.
The group all got on together well. There was more free time than with other tours. Meals and optional read more excursions were varied. Helicopter flights were great. Sedona jeep tour was disappointing, just a 4 wheel drive over rough terrain and didn't see anything special. Early mornings were worth it as we arrived at spots before the crowds, even though it was early in the season.
Booking was trouble free thanks to Jemma.

Well organised trip and sightseeing with Globus. It is very nice for them to offer a bottle of water every day. All hotels were high quality and centrally located (except Prague’s one a bit far). Optional tours at Vienna seem too many for concert and dinner. It would be good to include one or two into the normal trip. We had a free day at Vienna, and read more organised ourselves to Schönbrunn Palace. Berlin is an very exciting place, and we spent several extra days to explore the city. Overall it was a great trip. And thanks again, Hannah, for your help for all the bookings.
This is my first time booking through western tour group, and Global Gourney was recommended by my friend who has been using quite a number of times and have a lot of good feedback. The whole process was so simple and seemingly smooth.
I chose Globus as the departure time was more suitable for me but I was juggling between Trafalgar and Insight read more as I was travelling with my mother who has knee issues so I wanted to pick one which was interesting but yet not too busy and had a bit of leisure throughout the trip.
And to my surprise, the tour was exceptionally wonderful all the way through. It had a mixture of ages. But yet it was interesting everyday with a not too overly busy schedule, so everyday had time to rest and all hotels were based in central locations, easy access for free leisure time.
Our Tour Guide was funny and so friendly. Plus I joined all the optional tours and the whole group within this tour was made up of amazing people from different countries. Met a lot of new friends. Quite a memorable experience for the first time joining this sort of tour.
I would definitely recommend Global Journeys to anyone. After I booked the tour, they posted a package with booklet and a personal welcome pack. Which was very thoughtful and felt quite special. After I met with the other tour members, none of them that got the welcome pack and they all booked through other websites so I suggested them all to book with Global Journey in their next trip holidays as their service has been amazing! Thank you for a wonderful memory and amazing service from start to finish!

Our tour of Jordan was excellent. Our Tour Guides Saddam and Osama were first class, were very knowledgeable, funny and considerate. The tour was overbooked so they ran 2 coaches and each group stayed in different hotels, but they were all 5 star.
The Petra day was long and quite tiring because of the distance covered on foot but was amazing and read more certainly worth it. This was our first trip with Globus and we would have no trouble recommending them. Our booking with Jemma from Global Journeys was first class.

We went to other cities as well as the usual big Swiss cities. It is clean, efficient and beautiful. Being a winter tour it was significantly cheaper than in summer. Mountain snow and Spring flowers are a thing to see. Montreux was the stand out.
I will do more winter tours, not only to save money, but also to avoid the crowds and the traffic and read more dare I say the heat. (If you are using Aussie dollars, the prices will kill you. Multiply everything by 4 in Switzerland ). Have a HUGE breakfast daily.
I enjoyed this tour so much that I’m considering doing it again within the next few years. The cost of this tour is literally the same price as 3 nights in centrally locates Swiss hotels. SERIOUSLY!!!!

Enjoyable tour with an excellent guide 2
Yellowstone Winter Wonderland
Glenn, WA, Australia, Feb 2019
Enjoyed every day of the tour. Our guide (Steve O.) was excellent - considerate of everyone and very knowledgeable (~ 30 years experience at various jobs in Yellowstone). For me the highlight of the tour was the Day 3 Geyser walk. When we gathered outside the Lodge at 9 am the outside thermometer showed -30C and everyone agreed that it got even colder read more towards the end of the walk when the path went down a slight slope to a lower lying area - an easy walk and a good test of one's "layers".
Enjoyed Stonehenge and Bath and the other stops on the way to Liverpool. Arrived in Liverpool too late to see much on the City Tour but the Cavern Club was good. Going north, the stop at Gretna Green was a waste of time - a dreadful little tourist trap. Enjoyed Edinburgh and the Castle tour, and the Scottish Night dinner was great entertainment, but read more not sure about the tiny little thing they served up as "haggis" (NB the rest of the meal was fine). I had a wonderful lunch of "Haggis, neaps & tatties" at little pub, walking from the Castle back to the hotel the next day.
Excellent tour director covering all the landmarks in Rome, Florence and Venice. Local guides in each city provided passionate descriptions about the history. The optional tours are a must; the optional dinners, not so much. Only gripe was the hotels - tiny rooms in Venice, barely able to walk around the bed; too hot in rooms - could not achieve comfortable read more sleeping temperature. Booking through Global Journeys was excellent - everything as described and all paperwork delivered well in advance of the tour.
Excellent hotels and quality included breakfast and dinner. Nicely paced tour with adequate free time to relax and chill out. The best value for money tour I have taken by far. The tour director Osama was a gem. He was very knowledgeable and funny and made the trip so much more enjoyable. Thanks Georgie for the booking.
Loved the trip. Very nice hotels, good food. Tour guide kept us informed of all events. For me it was a hassle free trip. I'd certainly consider another tour with Globus. Only 2 comments, I wasn't given the option of travel to London and I was told I needed to book and pay for added excursions before I left Australia. That was not the case for other read more travellers, they booked and paid as they went. (GJ. Globus highly recommend travellers pre-book their excursions before they leave in case due to availability, however it's not compulsory.)
German Escape with Globus 5
Cathy & George, NSW, Australia, Nov 2018
The German Escape was a great tour, and really good value. The hotels were all very nice, the tour guides were informative and helpful. We would recommend this tour. Only small negative was that it was a little fast paced, sometimes wished for a few extra minutes or a pause to take more photos.
Rio, Iguassu, Buenos Aires, Santiago 2
South America Getaway with Santiago
Michael, NV, United States, Oct 2018
What a terrific way to get a slight taste of these areas. Iguassu and Buenos Aires were major highlights. Hotels were consistently outstanding.
Great tour busy though every day! 10
Highlights of Sicily & Southern Italy
Liz & Jeff, VIC, Australia, Oct 2018
This tour is on the go every day with a lot of walking with stairs and steep inclines. We enjoyed all the sights especially Pompeii and Mount Etna and everything in between. It is a tour that educates you each day!
Beautiful Boston to New York 1
Eastern US & Canada Discovery
Marg & Gladys, QLD, Australia, Oct 2018
Totally loved all aspects of the tour, never bored with amazing colour and history of such a beautiful place. Loved Boston you could get lost there for a week and it still not be enough. And New York well everyone must see New York once in their life, it's all what they say it is.
Scenic Autumn tour through New England USA and Eastern Canada 6
Eastern US & Canada Discovery
Julie & David, WA, Australia, Oct 2018
A great time of the year to visit as the Fall tree colour was beyond spectacular and photos can't show the true beauty. All the places we visited were very interesting, but our favourites were Quebec City, Ottawa and Washington DC. All very different and with lots to see and learn about. The hotels were very comfortable with full breakfasts. Our tour read more director Peter Visceglia was excellent and went out of his way to make the long driving days go quickly. He also had lots of knowledge about everywhere we travelled, was personable, helpful and extremely well organised. Roger, our driver was friendly and drove in a calm, careful manner.
The travel group was 40 mainly Australians, with the others from New Zealand, UK and South Africa. Everyone got on well with each other and that also made the trip most enjoyable. We would recommend this tour especially to see the Fall colour in October and will be looking at other Globus tours for 2019.

Carefree trip through Eastern USA and Canada 3
Eastern US & Canada Discovery with New York City
Linda, QLD, Australia, Oct 2018
This was a wonderful trip. Jemma was very helpful with our almost last minute booking! The tour guide Peter was the best tour guide we have ever had, undoubtedly adding to the enjoyment of a well organised and interesting tour.
Fantastic experience through the East Coast of USA & Canada 2
Eastern US & Canada Discovery
Sue & Djohan, VIC, Australia, Oct 2018
It was a perfect time for this tour. The fall foliage from Boston to Quebec to Montreal was fantastic and nothing I had ever seen before. Along the way I kept saying 'wow it's so beautiful..!'. The tour is highly recommended as it covers most of the best tourist attractions in each city. Old Quebec City, Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal and Niagara read more Falls in Ontario are the highlights of the tour. Great job to Globus and the local tour guide who ensured that we had our tickets ready and could enter Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal without having to queue. It really saved our time.
The pace of the tour was very good, the accommodation was very good with Delta Group Hotels and Lord Elgin being some of the best hotels. The inclusive home-made dinner with the Amish family was one of the best dinners I have ever had. It beat the meals served by the top rated restaurants. The apple pie was so delicious! Bravo to Globus to have made this tour one of the best tours I have done! Thanks to Georgie Walpole of Global Journeys who helped us with the booking, gave us a great discount and ensured the booking was smooth.

Excellent scenic tour of New England with great autumn colours 8
Classic Fall Foliage
David & Helen , QLD, Australia, Oct 2018
We thoroughly enjoyed this 9 day Globus tour which covered the 6 New England States of the USA - Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Everything about the way Globus ran the tour was spot on: an excellent Tour Director who knew the locations extremely well; a very modern, comfortable coach with on-board wifi; an read more excellent coach driver; excellent hotel accommodation; good breakfasts and a number of good included dinners.
Our tour group of 40 was friendly and cooperative, with good interaction between the American majority and and the Aussie and English minority. Highlights included the Acadia National Park, the Kancamagus Highway and Newport (Rhode Island). We were fortunate to get a lot of spectacular fall foliage colours, especially in the more northerly parts of the trip. The tour is quite fast paced and we covered a lot of ground in 9 days, but it was not overly demanding. We have no complaints or criticisms of the tour or Globus at all. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed the tour itself, the scenery was breathtaking, the tour guide Brad was full of knowledge and very friendly, our driver Rick awesome, made sure we were all safe. Only disappointment was some of the accommodation which could have been better in some places and the limited buffet breakfast other than that we recommend this tour.
