Just returned from a wonderful Globus trip to the Scottish Highlands and Islands. Without doubt, the best tour guide I have ever experienced. Roseanne was a walking fact book, her knowledge of history was outstanding and every day was filled with great humour and professional presentations. Simply superb. Tour pace was very steady, hotels in the main ...read more were a good standard as was food. Our driver, Wayne was excellent. The only disappointment was the size of the group which had 28 people which seemed large for a small group tour.
The weather gods were with us for our amazing 10 day tour of Northern Scotland, from our starting city of Edinburgh to our end point in Glasgow. New to us was a visit to Orkney, Mull and Skye, which we enjoyed immensely, particularly our visits to ancient Nordic and Viking sites. Our tour group of 38 people consisted of a mix of American, Canadian ...read more and Australian folk, so the conversation between cultures was both lively and interesting. Yes, there were minor comments about our many accommodation stays at times...but hey!... these buildings are over 200 years old, and it is a bit ridiculous to expect modern plumbing, modern lifts (where would you put them??) and level floors in rooms. This is the experience of 'travel'. Our rooms were always extremely clean and beds generally comfortable. The included breakfasts were well catered for with a wide variety of choices (toast is a bit of a 'miss'), and the included lunch and dinner options were generally very good.
The pace of our tour was good...some early starts to accommodate time schedules of the providers we were working with, and most of our arrival times at our next destination were about 4pm, which gave travellers time for a rest before dinner. We could not find fault with our wonderful tour guide, Dawn, who right from the moment she introduced herself to our group, was extremely well organised and totally on top of our schedule including posted notices with details of the next day itinerary where we could find it. Dawn was excellent providing us during our bus time, with an amazing overview of the next place we were visiting. Including the historical facts and folklore stories, weaving a wonderful tapestry of what we were seeing and its' importance in the lives of the people and and their culture through time. Dawns commentary was extremely well researched, consistent and at times, quite humerus! She was our 'mother hen' and we all felt safe and cared for during our tour. Thankyou Dawn! Our coach driver, Mark did a remarkable job driving us around for 10 days, quite often on difficult roads and in difficult weather and traffic conditions...including helping us down those high bus steps, and unloading our luggage. Thanks Mark! Overall, we both had a comprehensive tour of Scotland, and we felt that the company provided a very good value for money experience.

I booked an Intrepid tour of the Shetlands via Global Journeys. Sam at Global was excellent to deal with. There were a number of issues with Intrepid and Sam worked really hard to try to resolve them. The Shetland tour itself was excellent (although the fitness rating is way off, much higher level of fitness required than stated). The guide Doug, made ...read more the tour. I wouldn’t use Intrepid again because of the problems myself and others on the tour experienced, however I would definitely use Global Journeys again. Five stars for Global & three for Shetland tour (lost stars due to issues with Intrepid).
I thoroughly enjoyed my tour with Cosmos and travelling solo. The itinerary was fantastic and I visited some wonderful places and towns. I saw some amazing things and overall had sufficient time to take in the most important sites. Very pleased with the accommodation used throughout the tour and great English breakfasts, with occasional dinners included. ...read more Cosmos, was very efficient and highly organised and I opted for all the optional excursions. This was an enjoyable holiday experience. Travelling at the time of the Edinburgh Military Tattoo and seeing this was fantastic and can finally tick off my bucket list of attending the military tattoo. The tour guide, Charlotte , and our bus driver, Pedro, were both excellent. We rotated by 4 spots each day given each a turn at front middle and back of coach. The weather was perfect with only 1 day of rain occurring, rest of days were sunny and windy.
I would like to thank Georgie for handling my booking and being very quick in communication via email, the documents arriving in plenty of time. Highly recommended Global Journeys and highly recommended this tour to see the highlights of UK so you can return to spend more time in areas you liked the most.
