A well organised worry free holiday which included many coach stops and included excursions to enjoy the highlights of this very picturesque area. Good hotel accommodation, central and clean. Had a good age mix of travelers who got on well. Would definitely recommend Global Journeys and use them again.
20 Day Grand Western Canada Vacation & Alaska Cruise 3
Grand Western Canada Vacation with Alaska Cruise
Martyn, NSW, Australia, Jul 2018
This was an exceptional holiday, broken into two parts. First we toured through the Grandeur of the Canadian Rockies, spectacular and beautiful could barely describe it. Canada opened it's soul to us and we delighted in her form. Our guide was a witty and intelligent gentleman whose enthusiasm for his country and its history he graciously imparted on read more to each of us. We had an extraordinary group who melded harmoniously, forming some lifelong friendships from our twelve days together. The hotels were first rate, our coach and driver guided us through the Canadian countryside and cities with expert ease. The chosen restaurants for group evening dinners were top quality and the food was exceptional. Our Hotel check-in process was streamlined so well it all went off without a glitch. Full marks to Globus and the organization working in the background.
For those of us traveling on to the Cruise liner, the transfer process was well managed. This being the next part of our adventure, we were not to be disappointed. The ship was fantastic, the service was always excellent, the selection of food was first rate, the rooms were very comfortable. Everyone on the ship was very friendly, helpful and polite. The decor was just exceptional, being a smaller vessel we never felt overcrowded with about 1200 to 1400 on board.
The Cruise was something special to behold, we were subject to some of the most beautiful scenery and waterways that took our breath away. Along the way, we were always allowed sufficient time to explore some of the quaint towns and embark on extra activities to suit all tastes. The evening entertainment was varied, hilarious with added intimacy to embrace all comers.
Overall it was a fantastic twenty-day tour that left wanting to stay a bit longer.

The tour was varied and interesting. We enjoyed the different excursions and modes of travel. One thing that was disappointing was the Swiss dinner, we were jammed in like sardines. It was a very good tour.
My husband and I travelled on the Globus 25 day tour of Britain and Ireland in Depth in July/August this year. We saw lots of wonderful places over the journey and enjoyed it all immensely. The scenery was picturesque particularly in Ireland and Scotland and I loved the Highlands in Scotland. We were lucky enough to be in Edinburgh for the Military read more Tattoo which a was a marvellous experience and well worth going to. The tour was well organised and our Tour Director Jeff and Driver Kevin were amazing. The crowd on our coach were all friendly and we all got along very well, they were always punctual and hopefully we can catch up with some of them again.
The tour was full on and unfortunately we didn't stop for long in many places to have a bit of a relax. The weather in some parts was wet and we missed seeing much of the Ring of Kerry as it was wet and misty that day but overall the weather was not too bad and didn't stop us from sightseeing. I would recommend Globus as a tour company, they were very well organised and I liked the itinerary more than some of the others offered. The hotels we stayed in were all pretty good, some better than others but that was to be expected. We had no complaints with any of them. My only suggestion is that it would be nice if more hotels offered a more reasonable laundry service or a guest laundry on site as travelling for that amount of time, washing becomes a bit of an issue. In Killarney the hotel offered to wash a bag of clothes for 20 Euros which most people on the coach used and found it very helpful.
We didn't do many of the optional excursions but the ones we did were really enjoyable. I really liked the extra tour of Liverpool which I found very interesting. Overall we both had a great time on our tour and would recommend it to anyone. Madeline at Global Journeys did a wonderful job of booking our travel for us and would happily book with them again.

Very well organised and managed tour 1
Kenneth & Sandra, New Zealand, Jul 2018
Very well organised and meticulously managed tour. Tour director Jim and driver Anson were a great time.
If you want to see a lot in a short amount of time, this is the tour. Spend a lot of time on the coach, leave at 8am and get to hotels around 5-4.30. Many meals provided. Welsh night and Ceremony of the Haggis was great. Other optional tours OK. Hotels good though we were given bathrooms better suited to those on the tour with reduced mobility who had read more an ordinary bathroom with shower over a bath. The only down side was insufficient time st Edinburgh castle. Need to go back independently. Booking with Global Journeys and Jemma was trouble free.
Great Canadian holiday 5
Spirit of the Rockies with Rocky Mountaineer and Alaska Cruise
John & Irene, QLD, Australia, Jul 2018
Excellent. Everything went as planned from start to finish. We would recommend Global Journeys to anyone wanting a great trouble free holiday.
Eastern Canada coach trip plus cruise 5
Passage Through New England & Eastern Canada
Sue, VIC, Australia, Jul 2018
We went on this Eastern Canada trip with Globus in July. Weather was quite hot everywhere. We had a full bus load of people (Canadians, Americans & Australians) & everyday we moved seats. Our guide James was excellent, ensuring things went smoothly. Our accommodation was very good & all beds were very comfortable. Only about half of us continued on read more & did the cruise with Holland America on the Maasdam, the cruise was so good. Food was exceptional & drink prices moderate. We even got our laundry done on board, $20 US for as much as you could stuff in the laundry bag. Had a wonderful optional extra to Prince Edward Island to visit the home of "Anne of Green Gables". Georgie at Global Journeys handled our trip booking & she is very efficient & helpful. We had a wonderful holiday, Eastern Canada is beautiful & recommend everyone to visit.
Had the best time on the coach part with Globus tours, our tour guide James Saunders was great and had so much info on all parts, and also liked how our pick ups and transfers where done. Would do another tour with them.
Excellent itinerary for a tour around Portugal 12
Portugal in Depth
Marilyn & David, NSW, Australia, Jul 2018
This was a well planned itinerary visiting many places of interest. The hotels were of a very good standard and all were centrally located. The tour guide and driver were excellent and the included meals were of a high standard.
This trip was called "Best of Norway" and it certainly didn't disappoint. We were blessed with good weather, which enhanced our appreciation of the natural beauty of this country. There was 'wow' factor every day. Highlights included the Flam Railway trip, the circular drive around the Hardangarfjord, which is the second longest fjord in Norway and read more the rail trip back to Oslo from Bergen. The road was at times high with many hairpin bends, but thanks to the expertise of our driver, Simon, we were able to relax and thoroughly enjoy the incredibly beautiful scenery.
The optional cruise on the Aurlandsfjord, an arm of the Sognefjord (the largest in Norway) at Flam, is a must, especially if the weather is fine and clear. The accommodation was of a high standard. A special treat was a stay at the historic hotel in Ullensvang, which is situated in an idyllic setting between the snow capped mountains (even in summer) and the Hardangerfjord. Another optional tour - a bus trip to the hills behind Oslo, followed by a harbourside dinner, was also well worthwhile.
Be aware that Norway is an extremely expensive place, so I believe this tour is reasonably priced. A lovely touch by Globus was to include a glass of wine on the nights that an evening meal was included. There was a great balance between organised tours and free time. Thanks to our guide, Peter, for his knowledge and courtesy. Top marks Globus for this itinerary and top marks Georgie for her usual efficiency in arranging our booking.

I liked the itinerary and the pace of the tour. Our guide Adelheid is very knowledgeable. The included dinner in a local restaurant in Aarhus was excellent. You felt you were welcome and the food was delicious.
Canadian & Alaska Experience 3
Spirit of the Rockies with Rocky Mountaineer and Alaska Cruise
Gay & Antonino, NSW, Australia, Jul 2018
We had a wonderful holiday each day fulfilled with a new and exciting experience, weather was marvellous, Rocky Mountaineer a trip of a lifetime, cruise relaxation and breathtaking views. The bus group was lovely - half of group Australia and half Americans - we were 35 all up. Would have liked at least two days in each place, found bus tour amazing read more but very tiring. Felt that we were living out of suitcase, nevertheless it’s the only way to cover a lot of territory. We had an amazing holiday and hope to experience another part of the word in the near future.
Everything was good right from the time we arrived at our hotel. The tour director and driver of the bus were excellent. All excursions were enjoyable and the guides were great. The food and accommodation were good. The mix of fellow tourists were good and we all got on well.
We thoroughly enjoyed the 9 day tour - being history buffs we loved all the historical places eg Jamestown, Yorktown, Williamsburg and Gettysburg. It was great to tour a couple of the battlefields. Our tour director Jim Ryan was fantastic and our driver was great. Our accommodation was all really good apart from in Williamsburg - for breakfast we had read more to use plastic plates and utensils!
It would have been nice to have had a bit longer in a few places but on a 9 day tour unfortunately we had to keep moving! Shenandoah National Park was fantastic - such beautiful views. The weather was very hot - it got a bit much towards the end of the tour when it got up to 37 degrees! Overall it was a fantastic experience and we would definitely travel with Globus again. Leanne our travel consultant did a great job - thanks again!

Fantastic Introduction To Ireland 3
Introduction to Ireland
Colleen & Greg, QLD, Australia, Jun 2018
A huge Thank you to Juliet Scott for organising our Ireland trip with Global Journeys. This is the third time I've travelled with Globus and was especially impressed with Juliet's service in booking our trip. I will be recommending her to friends and will of course have her organise my future trips. I had planned an around the world trip and had left read more the organisation for this trip totally in Juliet's care. As we were travelling before the Ireland trip, Juliet kept in contact via email, providing us with up to date information and responded immediately to any questions I had.
The trip which was in late June, was amazing as we had 7 perfect sunny days with blue skies and lots of stunning scenery to photograph. The accommodation was above our expectations with fantastic central locations in walking distance to main attractions. We ended up doing all of the extra excursions which were sometimes informative, funny, cultural and just entertaining. One of our highlights was visiting a farm, making delicious scones and having them with a lovely Irish coffee. Thank-you Juliet, Global journeys and Ireland!

Prague City Break 2
Dianne & Neville, VIC, Australia, Jun 2018
A great place to stay at Jury's Inn with trams & station right outside the front door. We were rather jet lagged so we really didn't make the most of it. Chose to buy a city tour & also a trip to Cesky Krumlov. City tour was fantastic & guide was very informative. Cesky Krumlov tour was disappointing the guide was not satisfactory at all.
Poland, East Germany & World War II 9
Poland, East Germany & World War II
Claire, VIC, Australia, Jun 2018
Visited a lot of interesting places relevant to the tour topic that I'd been wanting to see for some time. The hotel accommodation was mostly of a high standard and the food was pleasantly varied. I was however quite disappointed with the tour director who made little effort to get to know us or integrate the group together. His knowledge of the places read more we visited was also disappointing. His talks were mostly incoherent and vague. I found them frustrating to listen to as I knew he didn't know what he was talking about. He was primarily interested in getting us to the the next destination, that's all.
