Morocco with a view
New Year's in Morocco
Katherine, MD, United States, Dec 2025
Morocco has a lot to offer. The people are wonderful, the scenery was just stunning. We had sunshine, snow, wind and a little rain and was even blessed with a rainbow in the desert. I can’t say enough about our guide Omar. He was able to answer all of our questions, he treated us to local music and displayed his musical talents. If there was any read more issues he was always there to fix them. It was a great trip.
Our tour leader/driver Todd was fantastic. He had a great sense of humour who was able to entertain a bus full of Aussies. Todd made every effort to ensure everybody was able to visit the additional attractions they had nominated. The comfort on the coach was exceptional. Well paced covering both the North and South Island. Lots to see and do. All hotels read more were of a high standard and all meals provided allowed for every bodies diet requirements. Delicious! Highlight of the tour for us was landing in the snow.
South New. Zealand Xmas Tour
Ultimate South Island Christmas
Julia, QLD, Australia, Dec 2025
Although this holiday was advertised as " luxury" I didn't expect too much. Boy! Was I wrong. All of the hotels were beautiful and had good rooms. The coach was luxurious. A full size coach but with 20 single seats each with its own console. Extra touches like a water bottle, headphones and mints. In addition to a toilet, a cold filtered water tap! read more Our cachdriver and tour guide (Chris) was friendly and knowledgeable. Travelling through the beautiful landscape was effortless, even the longer days. A well organised tour with a few minor Irritations( arriving at 8:30 am to find the museum closed). I would have loved to stay 2 nights in all the stops overs! A beautiful holiday.
Wendy Woo's Christmas in Japan tour was amazing. It did rely on a lot of bus rides and a couple of train rides but that enabled us to see places far and wide. The hotels we stayed at were all of a high standard, with most being centrally located. We were exposed to a variety of Japanese foods and all meals breakfast, lunch and dinner, were included read more in the cost. Highlights included: seeing Mt Fuji clearly; dressing in kimonos and making sweets during a tea ceremony, and feeding deer in Nara.
Exceptional Danube Tour Germany to Hungary
Danube Christmas Markets with Nuremberg
Maree, SA, Australia, Dec 2025
Our booking with Hannah at Global Journeys was seamless. There isn't a single thing I would've changed on our Danube Cruise with Scenic Waterways. We felt spoilt from the first day until the last. Just the right amount of free time and the tours were very good. We cruised in December & it was Christmas Market magic.
Best experience ever on the Danube
Magic of Advent on the Danube
Diane and Dirk, QLD, Australia, Dec 2025
We were so taken by this cruise that we will do another one with Amadeus next year. Could not fault it. From the friendly staff to the amazing food. Definitely recommend this tour. Thank you Global Journeys.
