Thoroughly enjoyed this 8 day tour. Tom and Mark worked hard to make this a smooth and interesting trip, especially the need to use ferries a few times. Waiting in line can be busy and tiresome but we always managed to stay as a group. Would have liked a bit more time in Newport, perhaps making it a 9 day tour? Overall experience with Globus very satisfactory.
This 8 day trip was one of the best coach tours we have ever been on. It was excellently paced with plenty down time. Our guide Sven and driver Ray were excellent and very knowledgeable about each place we went to. The scenery throughout was absolutely spectacular. We thought the two days we had in the Grand Canyon would be the highlight of the trip read more for us, but it turned out that each day brought more and more delights our way.
Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park and Antelope Slot Canyon provided beauty of a different dynamic. Each were wonderful in their own special way. If you love nature, you will be blown away by this tour. Eight days of magnificence. Best value trip ever.

Every day was a wonderfull new adventure 7
Eastern US & Canada Discovery with New York City
Christine & Edward, QLD, Australia, Sep 2017
We would definitely use Global Journeys again and will next time we travel. Hannah our travel agent was wonderful and always ready to answer our questions. Every day on our bus trip through the East Coast of America was an exciting adventure and we also enjoyed meeting new friends. The bus was comfortable and we always felt safe. The extra nights in read more New York are a must and we’re pleased we had an extra 6 nights. Quebec was a highlight of the trip with the old buildings that take you back in time.
I thought this would be an interesting trip but for anyone interested in history it really was. Seeing the worst of the Nazi regime at Auschwitz was horrifying but seeing how the countries we visited had improved their lifestyle since the fall of communism was encouraging. The constant changing of currencies was something to be prepared for. Hotels read more on the whole were very good and the food enabled us to try the local dishes. I did quite a few of the excursions and particularly liked the salt mine a and the gypsy music on our Budapest dinner. Our tour guide was, unfortunately not the best. He seemed to be quite uninterested in giving a lot of information and when we were off the bus we hardly saw him?
This was a great tour. Booking through Global Journeys was stress free and capably handled by Jemma. She provided very good service and answered my questions promptly. The tour itself was very well organized. A well-oiled machine comes to mind. Suitable for all levels of physical capability. Sit back and enjoy the scenery or go off for a hike, read more whatever pleases you. Appropriate rest days between the more active days. Our tour guide Phil was excellent and passionate about what we were seeing. A bucket list item with a big tick. You must go there....it's unbelievable!!!!!!
The itinerary was great, the pace of the tour suited us, the optional extras delivered what was promised. Our only disappointment was in some of the included meals. In particular the welcome meal. The breakfast area of the hotel was not a great space for meeting people and small tables of 4 do not encourage mixing. I dislike buffet meals for many reasons read more but given this meal was our introduction to Spain I felt it should have included food that highlighted Spanish cuisine. For example a sweet and sour concoction seemed out of place. I would suggest that for future tours buffet dinners are avoided because they brought out the worst manners in some people. We knew who would be first to the buffet every time and often found them going back for seconds when we and other had not had our firsts. We know that Globus cannot dictate people's manners but meals served to table avoids this.
Great Canadian train trip/ Alaska 9
Great Canadian Rail Journey with Alaska Cruise
Joan & Geoffrey , New Zealand, Sep 2017
We were a bit disappointed with the beginning of the train trip. We had expected refurbished carriages. But the ones we got were very basic. We did enjoy the trip once the train got to Jasper and we travelled by coach through the rest of Canada. The trip to Alaska was wonderful. The ship was all we expected if not more. Would recommend the trip from read more Jasper to Vancouver Island to Alaska and back.
Very happy with our Tour guide - Tal Segal. Driver also, coach and constant water supply in the heat. Hotels and food very good. Was indeed a good tour of The Holy Land. Felt very safe during our time there and loved Jerusalem.
Global was not prompt with information. Received my paperwork 10 days before departure to find 'shoulders may offend" read more and later from another source ' knees may offend'. Very late to have to go out and find 'sleeves' before departure. Feeling the heat, I do not own sleeves. This information should have been given with deposit - not on top of departure. No service from Global at all. Not one phone call whatsoever.
(MD Global Journeys - Ouch! We don't get reviews like this very often! We've taken your comments onboard. We are however only able to courier your travel documents once when we actually receive them from Globus ourselves - and then we double check them for you. Glad you enjoyed your trip and happy future travels!)

Thanks to Georgie and Global Journeys for organizing this wonderful trip. Well paced trip with plenty of things to see and do. Tour guide Clive and bus driver Dave where a great help and full of interesting information and tips right through the tour. Highlights included shows in Dublin and Edinburgh and the hotel Pullman in Paris next to the Eiffel Tower.
Alaska Coach and Cruise Tour 1
Grand Western Canada Vacation with Alaska Cruise
Sharron & Lynda, New Zealand, Sep 2017
We had an amazing time. Unfortunately it was during the forest fire and Vancouver was a bit smokey, but enjoyable all the same. The hotels were all lovely and there was a good mix of people on the coach tour and the cruise is not to be missed. Amazing staff, amazing sights and just couldn’t fault it, definitely a must for the bucket list. Leanne at read more Global Journeys was excellent to deal with and nothing was a problem for her to deal with and any questions were answered quickly. Would highly recommend this tour!!
Great trip good value for the money 6
Passage Through New England & Eastern Canada
Ahmad & Ron, NSW, Australia, Sep 2017
Booking with Global Journeys was an excellent experience. Yvonne was very helpful very professional but very friendly she makes it very easy for us and she took care of all the details and kept us informed at all times we will always go back to Global Journeys and Yvonne for our future holidays.
The trip was very nice and the coach was very comfortable, read more Beverly, our tour director was very nice and did a great job, and our driver, Guy was amazing and an excellent driver.
The itinerary had lots of free-time which we really liked, some accommodations were excellent [Westin in Toronto, Lord Elgin in Ottawa and Delta in Montreal ] and some were average [Doubletree in Niagara Falls, Delta Quebec] but overall the trip was enjoyable and you get what you paid for. The trip was a good value for the money. There were not enough excursions offered by Globus and the included features were not enough.
in Toronto the Lunch at the Tower was excellent but the driving around was boring no stops just drive through we would love if we had couple of stops especially at the Chateau in Toronto to takes photos. Niagara falls was excellent but the 3 hours free time we had was too long we would rather have spent it at Niagara on the Lake, the general consensus on the bus was to have more time at Niagara on the lakes it was a very beautiful small town with lots of small shops, Restaurants and character.
Ottawa and Quebec were the highlight of this trip they are beautiful cities with lots to offer we loved Ottawa fruit and vegetable Market and the dinner at le Moulin de Saint Laurent was a great dinning experience, the food was excellent and the Merlot was very good.
The Montmorency Falls were amazing, the Notre Dame Basilica was excellent a must see. Overall it was a very enjoyable trip and we would recommend Globus for people who wants to do tours with lots of free time and less excursions.

Delightful information trip through Portugal 7
Portugal in Depth
Paul & Christine , VIC, Australia, Aug 2017
This is an excellent way to see Portugal. The Tour Guide was very informative, if anything he spoke a little too much. The accommodation was very good some of the hotels were 5 star, not expected for the price of the tour.
The tour was excellent value for money and went at a very comfortable pace.
The tour was excellent value for money and went at a very comfortable pace.
Really organised, had a great driver and tour leader and my fellow travellers were great. Saw some absolutely beautiful areas and sights. Dined both on the street and restaurant style. Was really looking forward to Portugal and this tour didn't disappoint.
Can not rate this tour highly enough! Excellent tour guide from day 1. As a solo traveler I never felt left out. Globus has a true gem with Vasiliki. Everything was well organised and coordinated. She explained what was going to happen with each transfer, optional tour and made sure the group was a group. There days in each of Santorini and Mykonos read more gave you time to either explore on your own or do the optional tours.
Included dinner meals were lovely and the places we stayed outstanding in my opinion. Santorini hotel was very close to Thira so you could wonder around the streets and explore. Mykonos hotel while not near town had a regular public bus. The views were spectacular from both hotels. Athens hotel Crowne plaza while not close to main tourists districts but was accessible either by public transportation or taxi. Highly recommend this tour for solo travelers and couples and could of easily stayed an extra night in each of the islands.

Small group tour through England, Wales and Scotland. It was awesome! Great bunch of people just wanting to have a good time. Most hotels are located in the city centre however some need a revamp. Highlight for me was Scotland, I am already planning my return. Kinky Boots on my last night was the perfect way to end the tour. Highly recommended.
Wonderful trip of Western Canada & Northern America 2
Grand Western Canada Vacation with Alaska Cruise
Leanne, NSW, Australia, Aug 2017
Excellent trip all round. Stunning scenery, great standard of accommodation in excellent locations with friendly fellow travellers. We can't wait to plan our next trip. Thanks Jemma.
A great way to see the Baltic States. 4
Phil & Jane, ACT, Australia, Aug 2017
We have always wanted to travel the Baltic states and whilst a coach tour was not our preferred option we are really happy that we were able to get on this tour which we joined in Warsaw on 27 August. As it turned out, this particular tour was one that was sold to the American market so we had a coach full of Americans and Canadians which was a great read more experience for us.
The pace of the tour with mostly two night stops was just right as it gave us plenty of time to wander around the beautiful cities of Warsaw, Vilnius and Riga. We would have like another day in Tallinn and we added an extra night in Helsinki. The optional tours were good and we particularly enjoyed the optional Polish dinner with live entertainment. Overall a great well balanced tour, great tour guide, comfortable bus and very comfortable hotel accommodation. Will definitely tour again with Globus. As with all our other bookings with Global Journeys, Yvonne did a sterling job.

Highlights of Britain & Ireland
Jo-Anne & Gary, New Zealand, Aug 2017
September was a great time of year to be in the UK - the weather was settled and not too hot. The trip itinerary was perfect for the amount of time we had and getting to see the highlights of each location. We also thoroughly enjoyed the down-time to explore by ourselves. The tour guide, Marge, and coach driver (Mairyon) were so thoughtful and upbeat. read more They really were the icing on the cake!
Great Tour Guide and Driver who both went out of their way to make the tour for all 24 on the trip the most enjoyable and informative with many opportunities provided to make this trip excellent in all regards.
Canada and Alaska cruise 15
Spirit of the Rockies with Rocky Mountaineer and Alaska Cruise
Neil & Karen Stancombe, VIC, Australia, Aug 2017
What a great part of the world to visit . Our whole trip was great. The Rocky Mountaineer was absolutely first class as we're all meals and accommodation. Coach trip was broken up with regular stops at beautiful scenic stops. And getting to stay at the top Fairmont hotels including Banff Springs and Lake Louise were definitely highlights. As if seeing read more the beauty of the Rockies wasn't enough we then sailed to Alaska on the Volendam. Again accommodation, meals and sight seeing were first class. We thank Jemma on all the planning on our behalf and everything went off with military precision. Overall it really was a once in a life experience and one we will remember for ever.
