What our clients are saying about their experiences travelling the world on a 4 Star tour
Lovely tour of Tasmania Grand Tasman , WA, Australia, Jan 2026
This tour was fantastic. I think what made it so good was our fabulous Tour Director Gordon. He was a born and bred Tasmanian and obviously loved his State. His knowledge and information was wonderful and nothing was too much trouble for him from start to finish. Highly recommend.
Iceland in Winter   Premium Iceland in Winter , NSW, Australia, Jan 2026
We did the above trip with Intrepid in Jan 2026. There were only 6 of us on our tour so it was nice & intimate. Our guide Stefan was great, always welcomed us on the bus with a tale about the elves or trolls or sometimes with a sing song as well as being a wealth of knowledge on the history of Iceland etc. Accommodation was of a good standard but the read more Foss Hotel Glacier Lagoon was outstanding. I know most people do the Golden Circle but do yourself a favour & book a tour that also includes the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, you won't be disappointed.

The only comment I'd make is that I thought a farewell dinner should have been included, first time I've been on a tour where it hasn't been, however Stefan organised one at our expense (Iceland is VERY expensive). Our Consultant Hannah Campbell was great, always got back to me promptly whenever I asked a question. Our experience with Hannah & Global Journeys was such a good one that we currently have another 2 active bookings in the system. Would 100% recommend Intrepid, Hannah & Global Journeys to anyone.
A Beautiful Sightseeing Honeymoon Italian Escape , IN, United States, Jan 2026
As 2 people who have never been outside of the U.S. my wife and I decided to visit a foreign country for the first time, together for our Honeymoon. Globus make the booking and touring process extremely easy and hassle-free. They also provided us with an amazing price for a week long tour through Italy. Visiting the historic and beautiful towns of Rome, read more Florence, Venice, Assisi, and Pisa with guided tours was a once in a lifetime experience, and all we went to do is go back. We will definitely be booking our next travel through Global Journeys!
Ultimate South Island Ultimate South Island , QLD, Australia, Jan 2026
After a disappointing start (nobody met me at the airport when I arrived) the tour was fantastic. Good quality hotels, great food, excellent driver/guide and plenty of optional trips to choose from.
Lovely Holiday in New Zealand Ultimate Panorama , Netherlands, Jan 2026
A few days ago our holiday with Grand Pacific ended in Auckland. This trip was really an allround introduction to wonderful New Zealand. The luxury of the coach and the hotels was very much appreciated. Our guide/driver, Linda C. was a perfect host and chauffeur and she was very caring. We enjoyed the company of an international group of fellow read more travellers. Its difficult to mention highlights , there were enough. Grace at Global Journeys was very helpfull, answered all our questions usually within 24 hrs.
Morocco from North to South Morocco North and South: Mountain Villages and Ancient Kasbahs , TX, United States, Jan 2026
Touring Morocco itself was a wonderful experience and the two guides, Sofia and Rachid were both extraordinary. There were disappointments with some of GAdventures administrative and tour processes. Ours was a "Geluxe" tour yet you had to buy your own water at the included meals is one example. I've been on many tours with various companies and never read more not had water provide during the meals, especially in a country where they tell you not to drink the tap water.
