What our clients are saying about their experiences travelling the world on a 4 Star tour
To the top of Australia Cape York and Tropical North by 4WD , NSW, Australia, Jul 2026
Interesting and informative trip. Well worth the effort and definitely a 'bucket list' tour. Accommodation, meals, 4WD vehicle and driver/guide Noel were all very good although the Bramwell Station accommodation was quite cramped. Our thanks to Grace for her assistance throughout the booking process.
Splendours of Japan Splendours of Japan , QLD, Australia, Jul 2026
We travelled as an extended family of 13 and, overall, really enjoyed the tour. Days 3 and 4 involved very long hours on a bus, which made for some uncomfortable days. A few of the hotels were located away from main attractions. During our free time we often had to catch taxis to get where we wanted to go, which added extra cost and reduced the convenience. read more
A few of the included dinners at the hotels were also a little unusual, with combinations such as a pizza slice and tempura and other bits and bobs that didn't feel very authentic or particularly appealing. The included lunches - such as the sushi making and the Hida beef lunch were you cooked your own beef on individual burners - were AMAZING! We loved the tour overall. It was well organised, we saw some wonderful places, and it was a great way to experience Japan. PS Japan is extremely hot and humid in July!
Wonderful   Scenic Norway , MN, United States, Jul 2026
We cannot say enough, good about global journeys! Our tour guide Olvind, and driver”Magic” were totally awesome. The knowledge and the personal stories that were shared in the tight corners and hairpin turns that were made! Just very thankful we were in the hands of these two great guys. We had beautiful weather, which I understand is not always happening, read more which also helped of course. But they made the trip just just lovely. This was our trip we had on our bucket list for many years and we’re fortunate enough to be able to do it. So thankful we were able to hook up with your tour of Norway.
Best of France - 13 days   Best of France , NSW, Australia, Jun 2026
We loved this Trafalgar Trip of France. The Tour Director made sure everyone was happy, he sorted any problems and answered all of our questions. He had great knowledge about all the places we visited. The Coach Driver did an exceptional job manoeuvring the bus through some very tight streets. Both were very always polite, knowledgeable and helpful. read more
Grace from Global Journeys arranged our booking, she answered all our questions and rearranged things for us when we made changes to our trip or wanted add on with no fuss. Our trip went smoothly thanks to the professionalism of all involved.
Far North Queensland and beyond Gulf Savannah Discovery by 4WD , NSW, Australia, Jun 2026
We combined the Gulf Savannah and Cape York trips back-to-back. Both tours were very interesting and worthwhile.
Highlights of the Gulf Savannah tour were sunset and drinks on a sand island in the Gulf at Karumba, exploring Cobbold Gorge and going deep into the Undarra Lava Tubes. Our driver/guide (Danny) was personable and informative, but some of read more the accommodation and meals were very basic.

Highlights of the Cape York tour were travelling the Bloomfield 4WD track, crocodile spotting in Weipa, exploring Bamaga, walking to the tip of Cape York, and checking out the highlights of Thursday Island. Our driver/guide (Noel) was excellent and very experienced/knowledgeable about the areas visited. Accommodation and meals were generally good, although Bramwell Station is quite different!

As usual, Grace from GJ was a great help with our booking, liaising professionally with Travelmarvel when the tour dates were changed late in the process.
The Red Centre was a Spectacular Expedition Red Centre Spectacular (Expedition) , VIC, Australia, Jun 2026
Thank you Tracey for assisting us with our Journey Beyond Red Centre Spectacular tour we had an amazing holiday. We enjoyed out time on The Ghan with the delicious food and beverages and the off train experiences in Katherine cruising through the Nitmiluk Gorge and exploring Coober Pedy by bus. However our highlight was the 7 night Outback Spirit tour read more exploring Alice Springs, Kings Canyon and Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park and all the interesting places we stopped along the way.
