Great Trip Classical SicilySue and Jason , QLD, Australia, Mar 2026
The tour was fantastic. Very full on but we saw a lot. Highlights were the townships we stayed in along the way and climbing Mt Etna. Hannah gave us the confidence that we were getting quality for our money and we weren't being scammed.

Memorable Tour of Belize Discover BelizeDan and Ruth, VA, United States, Feb 2026
We had a wonderful time exploring the picturesque country of Belize, and enjoyed seeing amazing Mayan sites, beautiful beaches and a wide variety of birds and wildlife. In our experience, a tour is only as good as the guide. Tarique was amazing with his knowledge, good humor, organization and people skills. He and our fellow travelers made this tour read more a real pleasure and an unforgettable experience! Our only suggestion would be to allow travelers to pre-book and pre-pay for excursions to reduce the need to bring or access currency for these bookings during the trip.
This was an amazing trip. Yarina Lodge is a wonderful place to go. Room facility is good and clean. A special praise to the staffs - the management, the restaurant, the kitchen, they are very attentive care. The guide is very professional, he customize programs according to your fitness level and requirement. This is a place for relaxation and also adventure.
Sacred Inca Valley Tour Solo-ish PeruAnthony, BC, Canada, Feb 2026
Fantastic tour! Be prepared for some pretty intense climbing/hiking at altitude. Machu Picchu was surreal. I learned so much more about the history of the Inca and the other cultures that were present throughout out the area. Fascinating and well worth the effort!
Global Journeys and Isabella were fantastic! Everything was taken care of from arrival and departure snd everything in between. Isabella had things ready for me well in advance as I was traveling prior. She contacted me with all necessary information prior to, and during, my travel. I will most definitely book with Global Journeys again. High quality read more planning, booking, tours, ans guides.
