This was my first Globus journey and I feel that we were so lucky! First of all Luis our tour director was so fun and had so much knowledge to share with us. That was a great personality combo! Second our bus driver, Joel was a master behind the wheel!! Third we had a small group of 29 who ranged in age from 10 to 81 … who I now call my friends. I read more can’t wait to make another reservation. And PS…I was one of the 81 year olds!
Very informative tour around Portugal Best of PortugalFredrick and Liesl, WA , Australia, Jun 2026
Enjoyed the 10 day tour around some interesting cities in Portugal. Our tour director Rui had tremendous knowledge of the places we visited and all the local guides too were well informed. Rui was kind and treated us to the many flavours of Portugal, more than any other tour director had done and this was our 7 th tour with Trafalgar. All the hotel read more accommodation was 4 star, with wonderful selections of breakfast. Only one hotel hadn’t done a clean of the bathtub which was disgusting. Although our Australian contact Hannah, did a great job, and although she advised the Trafalgar team, in plenty of time prior to departure of my change of dietary needs, I was embarrassed at the welcome dinner when I was counted as a special diet.
Fantastic 17 day Portugal, Spain & Morocco tour Spain, Portugal & MoroccoAlan and Tracey, QLD, Australia, Jun 2026
We have just completed the 17 day Portugal, Spain and Morocco tour with tour director Miguel (Portuguese). What a fantastic tour. All local tour guides were special, however the the local guide of Morocco (for 6 days) was 'Moh' and he had extensive knowledge but was intense in his sales pitch for each stop, his disrespect when an incident occurred with read more an elderly female passenger (fell whilst utilising the bathrooms), his ongoing repeated sales advertisements (inappropriate). Also the accommodation of the 'Imperial Hotel' at Rabat was definitely below forecast ratings and was actually uncomfortable. In all the tour director was amazing and kept everyone entertained, great humour, honesty, compassion and engaging throughout the 17 days. I would have given this tour '5 stars' except for the local Moroccan tour guide. The sights are amazing and I would recommend this tour.
