Great Canadian Rail Journey with Alaska Cruise
Ana Sales, Australia, May 2016
We really had a great time..accommodation tops! Highlight of the tour is our stay at the very grand Fairmont at York in Toronto! Thoroughly enjoyed the VIA Canadian Rail travel from Toronto to Jasper..great experience and the meals were excellent and service was excellent. Have just recommended your company to a group of friends who want to avail of read more the same tour as we had as they saw on the photos I've posted on Facebook what a fantastic time we were having.
Lovely trip & have ticked some places off my bucket list 1
Dianne & Neville, Vic, Australia, May 2016
A really great trip. 7 Aussie's on trip & we all enjoyed the trip. Accommodation great - but tour was a bit hectic & so much walking. Overall got to see some wonderful places & also some wonderful 'foody' places. My favourite places were Chique Terre & Portofino. Must add that we did arrive back in accommodation at 4 pm each day. Could do with more dinners at night!
Stunning red rock canyon and desert trip! 2
Canyon Country Adventure
Sharon , NSW, Australia, May 2016
The landscapes we saw were amazing and we enjoyed every aspect of the itinerary. Globus could have made a greater effort to assist customers to get to know each other e.g. name tags for the first couple of days. It was days into the tour before we had any meals in common and it was a bit hard to make connections with other travellers. Also Globus could read more have had a fairer seating arrangement: we started out towards the back of the bus and although we moved a seat every day, we never got out of the back half of the bus. Most travelers were unprepared for the extreme cold we experienced: the tour booklet could make more of the changing season weather -they said hot summers and cold winters. My trip was well towards the end of spring, but it was extremely cold everywhere. The driver was excellent. The tour guide was OK.
A once in a lifetime experience. 2
Amanda, NSW, Australia, May 2016
A once in a lifetime experience. Global Journeys is a timely, highly professional, online travel grouping - my experience was very positive, extremely well organised & executed, from my initial enquiry & handling of my actual booking (incl. flights, travel insurance, optional excursions & ongoing advice) - thanks again Michelle!- through to the absolutely read more incredible itinerary itself.
Most everything I experienced over the 22 days exceeded my expectations. The tour director, coach driver (& local guides) made it not only a learned adventure, but provided insights, experience, knowledge and opportunities which would not have happened, if I had attempted to do this full on tour on my own / with a group of friends. The tour director & coach driver were with us the entire trip, creating for a hassle free, enjoyable & safe holiday - eternal thanks to Marree & Giovanni!
I would definitely recommend Globus to anyone planning to travel to Europe and I intend to use them again for future adventures. Whilst Globus were at the upper end of cost, you pay for what you get and I got excellent service, consistent value for money, unforgettable memories, an amazing holiday & made new friends....to say it exceeded my expectations on reflection is maybe an understatement!!.... many thanks again to all involved at the Globus family.

We had an excellent Tour Director which made our trip most enjoyable. She knows the history of the places we visited and can relate this with Greek mythology that one usually learnt at school. Beautiful scenery and amazing culture.
Great way to see Germany 3
German Highlights
Jeff Lind, Trudi Lind, Tom Engelhardt, WA, Australia, May 2016
The German Highlights tour was the perfect way to get a taste of Germany. The Globus staff helped make the holiday even more enjoyable, the accommodation was excellent, especially the smaller hotels in Bavaria. Thoroughly recommend this tour.
Everyday brought new experiences 1
Isabella & James Chin, QLD, Australia, May 2016
This is a back to back tour in Europe taking us away for around 40 days. Everyday brought new experiences. We had an extremely special tour director and coach driver. Enjoyed everyday of it!
Excellent service in all areas 2
Holland, Luxembourg & Belgium
Isabella & James Chin, Qld, Australia, Apr 2016
Michelle White at Global Journeys looked after us again. We found Michelle to be very knowledgeable and made our travel bookings stress free. Everything is organised. The tour was great and the Globus tours provided excellent service in all areas.
Springtime in London and Paris 6
Robyn & Alan, QLD, Australia, Apr 2016
Our Globus independent travel tour was a great way to start our holiday. The accommodation was excellent in both cities for location and service. Having a globus representative in the hotel everyday if we needed help or advice was a bonus for first time travellers. They also were able to secure theatre tickets to see Matilda the Musical at the Cambridge read more Theatre in London and the spectacular Moulin Rouge in Paris both great highlights of our stay. The half day included tours in each city were a good way to see the main sights in a short time and we will go back for more sometime in the future.
I was really impressed with all aspects of this tour and the arrangements made for me. This applies from beginning to end: from when I first started making the bookings to the last day when I was transferred to the airport for the journey home. The places visited were impressive, the optional dinners were great and the organisation efficient and effective. read more There is only one improvement I would suggest to Globus: on the first full day of the itinerary it is not made clear exactly what is to be visited - it just says "sightseeing". It would be a helpful to know so that if you arrive before the tour starts you can go on your own to see places not included in the tour, in this case the Parthenon Museum.
Wonderful & enjoyable Cheerry Blossom Tour of Japan 3
Stephen Creet & Lynette Carter, NSW, Australia, Apr 2016
Thoroughly enjoyed the entire tour. Excellent Tour guide (Eiko), and a great group of fellow travelers made this tour of Japan a memorable experience. Tour ((including the extension to Hiroshima and Osaka) was well conducted and certainly provided a true glimpse of this magnificent, hospitable and beautiful country.
A great taster of Spain and chance to see the highlights. I would strongly suggest arriving earlier to see more of Madrid and staying on an extra day or two in Barcelona. Reasonable pace but an amount of walking on city tours and several long travel days that challenged a few people with fitness issues. Strongly recommend optional tours to Toledo and read more Montserrat and take time to visit Park Gruell, museums and the Catalonia Music Hall in Barcelona. Very supportive and knowledgeable guide and comfortable accommodation. Was expecting a small group so surprised that it was a large and full coach.
Wonderful trip through the South 6
America's Musical Heritage
Liz Marshall, NSW, Australia, Oct 2015
Wonderful trip through the South. Would highly recommend this tour if you are interested in music. It had the lot. Great studios and museums, plantations and music. Hotels were in great locations but some were a bit below par. Opreyland hotel in Nashville was fabulous but the Double Tree in Memphis was grubby. I had to change rooms as there were large read more cobwebs along one wall and dirty linen in another.
Very busy tour but very enjoyable. 1
Dan & Annie, Australia, Oct 2015
Very busy tour but very enjoyable. The Tour Director, Fabiola, was sensational. Most of the hotels were very good except for one in Agrigento. The bus driver was great and drove very safely. The optional tour to the winery is a must do.
The tour and local guides did not provide details of tourist sites other than Globus associated ones. In Capri, for instance, there was an international art exhibition being held across a number of sites but this was not mentioned as a possible activity during our free time, rather it was come to the cafe that Globus uses. There are other examples too. read more But it was a very good experience and the diver was fantastic.
Niagara Falls was fantastic. Loved the variety; eg. Amish dinner/fall foliage/Quebec's old buildings. Montreal and Toronto underground shopping centres were an experience like nothing in Australia.
It was a great experience and we would book with Global Journeys again. Niagara Falls was a highlight and we had plenty of time here; viewed from a helicopter (optional extra), below the falls, on the water and night-time dinner; I even got to change the colour of the lights reflecting on the falls! An excellent trip overall.
Most of the tour was pretty good 1
Yvonne Eulink, NZ, New Zealand , Oct 2015
I thought most of the tour was pretty good, but the food let it down a bit, especially the dinners. There were too many hotel meals which were not based on the local cuisine but were just a basic buffet style international meal. Most of the local cuisine meals were only available as part of an optional excursion.
We felt we were with professionals 2
Hugo & Margarita Silva, QLD, Australia, Oct 2015
First impressions count, and when we first met our tour guide in Portugal we felt we were with professionals. Every detail was taken care and we felt safe and were looked after at all times. Our Guide Fernanda was so knowledgeable and quick to correct any problems. Not many at all! The Marian Shrine visits were so well organised and attended mass almost read more in every occasion. This was very important to us. I would suggest extend the length of the tour to an extra day or two to leave extra time interesting locations. For example: We did no have enough time to explore Burgos, we loved the place but time flew so quickly and next thing we were already having dinner and ready to go to bed. Also, Globus might consider to provide as part of the registration a travel pouch documents with the name of the Globus Family or similar objects to make us stand out and we could keep as souvenir after the tour. We took two optional tours. Dinner in Madrid and night tour, I don't think it offered value for money. The other tour to Avila was perfect and we enjoyed so much. Research more about the quality of local guide tours, some were difficult to understand although knowledgeable about the location but had difficulty in expressing. In overall, all the local guides offered a good service. In regards to food, I think care was taken to accommodate all tastes and dietary requirements! Thank you! We will definitively used Globus for our next tour whenever that might be. Thank you Hannah for all your help and for keeping us informed about our tour!
The whole tour was a fantastic experience 1
Eastern US & Canada Discovery
Warwick & Susan Dening, NSW, Australia, Sep 2015
The whole tour was a fantastic experience, it was so great to see all the cities that we visited, a longer stay in some places would have been nice, but I guess we will have to try and go back at another time. The tour director, Brenda Turner, was very knowledgeable about the cities and during the coach travel between cities. We did not realize there read more were optional tours available, but it was great to be able to do the ones which we did. (All except Montreal dinner and Helicopter over Niagara Falls). We will look forward to doing another tour with Globus in the future. Thank you Michelle for your assistance in making this part of our trip to Canada and USA possible and so much fun, we met some very nice people from Australia, New Zealand and USA, people we can now keep in contact with through emails, etc. and maybe catch up again someday. Thanks again.
