Beautiful sights in Switzerland and Austria 1
The Best of Austria & Switzerland
George, VIC, Australia, Sep 2025
We had a great time doing our own thing in Germany Rhine Falls, and part of Austria. We then joined Globus for their tour from Vienna to Lucerne, which was very well planned and most enjoyable. Zermat and The Matterhorn were exceptional as part of the Globus tour; and the performance at the Musikverein in Vienna was to die for.

Grand Western Canada Vacation
Larraine and Steven, WA, Australia, Aug 2025
This tour was an absolutely fabulous tour. We stayed in fabulous hotels, had great meals and our tour director was brilliant. Would recommend this trip to everyone. Globus are definately a top tour company. Thanks again to Hannah at Global Journeys for everything.
The trip was well run and stress free. Be prepared for early starts, but that does mean lots was packed into every day.
My only criticism would be that the local tour guides can be too wordy and often boring. We had one outstanding guide, but the rest were less impressive. I felt an introduction on the bus by our tour director, then free time to explore read more was much more enjoyable. This happened on some of the places visited. Hannah was great and answered all enquiries promptly.

Great itinerary-beautiful country to visit 0
Spectacular Alaska!
Anna and Nigel, SA, Australia, Aug 2025
Globus trip with 32 passengers-which was a good thing. Space to spread out on the tour bus. Enthsiastic and knowledgeable tour director and equally so driver. Itinerary was great and 2 night stops perfect. We felt however that many of the extras once offered with globus are not there any more. Water eg not provided and hotels now offer minimal starter read more kits and nasty disposable "dishes" in rooms. Tour meals included were quite basic affairs and did not provide alcoholic drinks as was once the norm...we've been spoilt in the past obviously on tour, particularly with quite special dinners in external restaurants. Dinner being the focus to socialise with fellow travellers rather than rushed meals with guest speakers and home by 7pm!
We had a truly wonderful time on the Globus Ultimate Alaska & Yukon tour. The landscapes were breathtaking, and the remoteness only added to the authenticity of the experience—it’s exactly what you’d hope for when exploring such untouched parts of the world. Our guide, Kip, was absolutely fantastic—knowledgeable, approachable, and passionate about the read more region. The bus driver also did a great job, making long stretches of travel feel comfortable and safe.
Yes, there were some long days on the bus, but that’s part of covering so much ground in such vast territory, and it gave us a chance to take in the sweeping scenery along the way. Overall, it was a memorable journey through a stunning part of the world, one that I’d happily recommend to anyone wanting to experience the true north in all its rugged beauty. GJ: What a great photo!

It was a wonderful trip, organized with some good optionals for local tourings. We had a very good globus advisor who assisted us to plan & booked our trip; everything went smooth and pleasant. Our main Globus tour guide was also very good & helpful which made our trip pleasant & enjoyable.

Maxwell and Marieatta, VIC, Australia, Jul 2025
This tour was booked with Hannah Campbell (Senior Travel Consultant) at Global Journeys around April 2024. The tour at that stage was a 'planned departure', however, Hannah kept monitoring the tour & was very quick to inform us once the tour converted to a 'definite departure'. This allowed us to book our airfares. Hannah also kept us abreast with any read more minor tour changes & provided us with all the documentation for the tour, including all the 'optionals' & their prices, about 5 weeks before the tour commenced. The level of customer service was par excellence & is why we are return travellers to various tours facilitated by Global Journeys. All potential travellers to all parts of the world, please do not hesitate to contact Hannah Campbell at Global Journeys for a well-priced quote incorporating all available discounts, followed by superior customer service.
The coach trip was excellent, our guide Andrei was excellent with an incredible knowledge. The Hotels were of a high standard. The included meals were all excellent. A reasonable amount of walking involved (ie. coach drop point- walking an old town-return to coach pick up over cobble stones).
Ethan was excellent, he was able to make my dream vacation come true. From hotels to meals and flights they took care of everything.
Wonderful experience with the very professional Globus staff. We travelled to so many places, entered into buildings that I would perhaps not have given a second look at to discover beautiful gardens and architecture. We even back in time to working townships from the 10th century .I would not been able to have covered the breadth of Portugal nor learnt read more so much history as I did with the Global staff. I met many fellow travellers who said they only do Globus tours, I am now a convert to bus trips!
Just returned from a wonderful Globus trip to the Scottish Highlands and Islands. Without doubt, the best tour guide I have ever experienced. Roseanne was a walking fact book, her knowledge of history was outstanding and every day was filled with great humour and professional presentations. Simply superb. Tour pace was very steady, hotels in the main read more were a good standard as was food. Our driver, Wayne was excellent. The only disappointment was the size of the group which had 28 people which seemed large for a small group tour.
Great trip. Brilliant guide and driver - nothing was too much for them. Great scenery and evntd. Hotels wonderful. Was sooooo much fun. Thank you.

The Best of Austria & Switzerland
Karen and Graham, NSW, Australia, May 2025
Our thanks to Rachael from Global Journeys who did a fabulous job and paved the way, to help us effortlessly join Globus the Best of Austria and Switzerland Tour. We had been to Austria and Switzerland before and were so impressed, we wanted to see more. The highlight this time was spending more time in the spectacular mountains - going up the Matterhorn, read more Mount Pilatus and Hitler’s Eagle Nest. We really enjoyed this tour but found the Local Experts, although they were fabulously knowledgeable, they ended up being an information overload and quite draining. Also, some places had more time allotted than was required, by our group. Both were subjective of course. All in all, an amazing experience.
The weather gods were with us for our amazing 10 day tour of Northern Scotland, from our starting city of Edinburgh to our end point in Glasgow. New to us was a visit to Orkney, Mull and Skye, which we enjoyed immensely, particularly our visits to ancient Nordic and Viking sites. Our tour group of 38 people consisted of a mix of American, Canadian read more and Australian folk, so the conversation between cultures was both lively and interesting. Yes, there were minor comments about our many accommodation stays at times...but hey!... these buildings are over 200 years old, and it is a bit ridiculous to expect modern plumbing, modern lifts (where would you put them??) and level floors in rooms. This is the experience of 'travel'. Our rooms were always extremely clean and beds generally comfortable. The included breakfasts were well catered for with a wide variety of choices (toast is a bit of a 'miss'), and the included lunch and dinner options were generally very good.
The pace of our tour was good...some early starts to accommodate time schedules of the providers we were working with, and most of our arrival times at our next destination were about 4pm, which gave travellers time for a rest before dinner. We could not find fault with our wonderful tour guide, Dawn, who right from the moment she introduced herself to our group, was extremely well organised and totally on top of our schedule including posted notices with details of the next day itinerary where we could find it. Dawn was excellent providing us during our bus time, with an amazing overview of the next place we were visiting. Including the historical facts and folklore stories, weaving a wonderful tapestry of what we were seeing and its' importance in the lives of the people and and their culture through time. Dawns commentary was extremely well researched, consistent and at times, quite humerus! She was our 'mother hen' and we all felt safe and cared for during our tour. Thankyou Dawn! Our coach driver, Mark did a remarkable job driving us around for 10 days, quite often on difficult roads and in difficult weather and traffic conditions...including helping us down those high bus steps, and unloading our luggage. Thanks Mark! Overall, we both had a comprehensive tour of Scotland, and we felt that the company provided a very good value for money experience.

A late review addition, we meant to do this a while ago and just forgot! We had originally intended to do this tour in Sept 2020....and only got to do it in Sept 2024 - damn you, covid...! Remarkably, this ended up being the identical tour, with the same departure date! This was an amazing tour, one we had wanted to do for a very long time. Tour guide read more Gigi, and driver Pietro were fantastic from the moment we arrived. Gigi did an amazing job looking to accommodate so many different needs across the tour, and Pietro was brilliant and professional in getting us to each destination safely and on time.
Highlights were everywhere, with Palermo, Taormina and Erice the standouts. Highly recommended.

A comprehensive tour with a very knowledgeable guide in Pedro. The whole itinerary was enjoyable. Whilst so many, the cathedrals and castles were stunning and scenery breathtaking. A highlight for me was Porto - it has been my screensaver for several years! A trip not for the faint hearted with cobbled tile pavements and at times challenging steps into read more buildings. Accommodation in Lisbon at the Hilton felt like a prison, stark black corridors on each floor with room numbers impressed into the carpet at the door. Globus we arrived early and you offered transfers airport to city for A$80 pp each way! The airport was less than 10 kms away and organized transport could be booked for A$40 a car each way - not nice. The group of over 40 was a good one - everyone mixed and proved good company. (GJ. Organised transfers offered by the operator will always be more expensive than local transport options which is why, if tour clients are confident travellers, we recommend catching an Uber or taxis in most cases. However, some clients prefer the safety and knowledge that everything is pre-planned and pre-paid before they arrive.)

Gail and Helen, NSW, Australia, Sep 2024
The scenery was sectacular and our guide was erudite, informative and catered to our interests. The itinerary was well organised, accommodation in varied and interesting locations, very good standard. An excellent trip I would highly recommend to travellers wanting to learn about how nature sculpts our landscape and how fauna, flora and people adapt. read more I would recommend Globus consider alternate accomodation in Las Vegas, Treasure Island is rather tired.

Land portion of the trip was awesome as were our guide Wade and our driver Maurice. The cruise part was also great and we were treated exceptionally well.
Touring Around Alaska by coach and cruising from Whittier to Vancouver 0
Spectacular Alaska! with Alaska Cruise
Brian and Cris, Victoria, Australia, Sep 2024
Firstly the coach tour was sensational with many thanks to our exceptional tour guide Wade and our coach driver Maurice. Wade provided a great insight into Alaska past and present and was very knowledgable and very well organised as well as being a friend. Maurice's driving kept everyone so calm and he to had the coach very clean and was always there read more for us if we needed and answer or guidance. The places we saw visited and the things we saw were truly amazing and Wade's suggestion to fly by light plane around Mt Denali was one highlight for us as were the Glaciers, wildlife, accommodation and people. The boat cruise with Holland America Nieuw Amsterdam was relatively smooth sailing and everything was catered for onboard. The towns and places we visited were interesting including the glaciers again and the wildlife, scenery, entertainment, food, drinks.
Our Long Awaited Alaska Trip Did Not Disappoint 1
Spectacular Alaska!
Marian and Warren, Christchurch, New Zealand, Jul 2024
Globus truly gave us The Spectacular Alaska Experience. Our tour director, Todd and driver, were friendly and accommodating. Both were knowledgeable providing information and history on the areas as we traveled in the motor coach. The accommodations were comfortable, and it was good having on site dining options, as on some evenings we got to our rooms read more quite late. Not that you realised as it was still light through to 11pm at least! The arranged excursions were all great and gave us the experiences we were after.
Our viewing of wildlife was not as frequent as we had hoped. It is just luck being in the right place at the right time. We did see Moose, Caribou, sealions and sea otters. (Take your binoculars). Our highlight was on the last day on a cruise into the Kenai Fjord where we witnessed a group of humpback whales bubble feeding on a shoal of fish. Truly amazing. If considering this tour, or any trip to Alaska, their sunny days are rare with most days cloudy and/or wet. This can mean the mountains are not visible at times and you need more warmer clothes than true summer ones.
