LATEST REVIEWS WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT THEIR ISLAND HOPPING ADVENTURES

Sailing the Cyclades   , VIC, Australia, Sep 2023
Fantastic sailing trip, visited 8 beautiful islands. You sail in the morning wind permitting for around 4/6 hours arriving at the next island in plenty of time to explore and enjoy dinner. Our skipper Fotis was local and we always felt safe in his capable hands. The yacht is 56 feet so you don’t have very much sleeping and bathroom space, you need to ...read more be prepared for that. Highly recommend this Intrepid trip.
Cultural Overload of Turkiye & Greece   , SA, Australia, Aug 2023
We both thoroughly enjoyed touring Turkiye and Greece, having not been to both since travelling from London to Kathmandu in the early seventies. We travelled with a group mostly in their 60's and 70's apart from a 28 year old travelling with her mother. She mixed really well with the oldies. The camaraderie amongst the group of 20 made it very pleasant ...read more travelling and fun. Accommodation consisted of mainly 4 and 5 star hotels all of which were of a high standard. European bathrooms are not always easy to manage with slippery, narrow baths and showers which flood the floors. Luckily there were no accidents!

Both tour guides were extremely knowledgeable, the Turkiye guide proudly telling us about his country. Both had detailed descriptions of the ancient ruins, at times most of us felt we were overloaded with information and not able to digest everything.
A 3 day cruise to Patmos, Rhodes, Crete and Santorini were included but excursions to the islands had to be paid for. The costs were a ripoff , particularly Santorini where buses had to wait for others to clear and crushing crowds made the visit less enjoyable.
Highlights of the 23 days were ballooning at Cappadocia, tasty meals, some of the ancient ruins, Meteora and the monasteries in the north of Greece and the Plaka in Athens. I would certainly recommend this trip but to be aware of the long days with limited freetime and the emphasis being on ancient ruins.
First time cruise exceed expectations   , New Zealand, Jul 2023
This was my first cruise and it exceed my expectations. The facilities were top tier! I really enjoyed coming back to my stateroom which was great even without a balcony after a long day to relax. Royal Caribbean really know how to wow their consumers! Although I really enjoyed the cruise I most likely won’t go on a cruise peak season again as it felt ...read more really overwhelming with so many people and the weather was really hot. In saying this, I would definitely go on another cruise and would definitely book through Global Journeys. Tracey made my experience very easy and answered all my questions timely. The whole process was great!
A trip you dream about.     , TAS, Australia, Jun 2023
While planning my holiday overseas with Georgie from Global Journeys we had a 12 day gap between two tours and I was asked if my wife and I would like to go to Greece for a tour. I jumped at the chance. The tour started in Athens Greece for 3 night's in a great area. Close to shops and restaurants. Easy to walk around. We had the opportunity to visit ...read more all the popular tourist attractions that you thought you would never see in real life. We were given a tour guide for the duration of the trip. She was one of the best guides we have had. She made us feel safe and secure and made us feel special. We travelled to Mykonos and Santorini 3 night on each island in five star accommodation. My favourite part was the lost city of Atlantis. Mind blowing. This was a trip to remember.
