Swiss Escape
Swiss Escape
Janine, NSW, Australia, Feb 2026
A lovely 8 day bus tour with Globus, this was my first tour with Globus. The Tour Director, Susanna, who has worked with Globus for 42 years was very knowledgeable, efficient and went out of her way to ensure all participants had a great time. The countryside of Switzerland is very beautiful and the accommodation throughout the tour was excellent read more with all breakfasts and a few dinners provided with the package.
Unfortunately, our time in Lucerne, did not go to plan, the yearly carnival (which is celebrated in all of Switzerland) started the morning after we arrived, so our castle tour and many attractions were closed. I feel this is something that Globus should have been aware of and alternative plans should have been put in place. The carnival itself was very festive and the street parade great to watch, but disappointing that items on our schedule were unable to be visited.
On the last day of the tour, the optional tour consisted of a visit to the Castles of Bellinzona with lunch - we were given 'free time' to wander through the historic Bellinzona district. Local points of interest were closed due to the carnival, the Castle is free to enter, lunch was provided, but was fairly basic, we then visited Como in Italy and again was given 'free time' to explore Como on our own. This should have formed part of the the tour and not a optional paid tour, as previous tour days we visited cities and were given free time to explore. The cost of this 'optional tour' was quite expensive for what was provided and this was discussed by the other tour participants, who were also disappointed with this optional tour. Overall, I enjoyed the tour.

Incredible trip! I booked 1 week in Alaska and experienced nature hikes along the Alaskan range, guided walk on a glacier, Northern Lights, and dog sledding.
A Beautiful Sightseeing Honeymoon
Italian Escape
Mr. and Mrs. Melton, IN, United States, Jan 2026
As 2 people who have never been outside of the U.S. my wife and I decided to visit a foreign country for the first time, together for our Honeymoon. Globus make the booking and touring process extremely easy and hassle-free. They also provided us with an amazing price for a week long tour through Italy. Visiting the historic and beautiful towns of Rome, read more Florence, Venice, Assisi, and Pisa with guided tours was a once in a lifetime experience, and all we went to do is go back. We will definitely be booking our next travel through Global Journeys!
We did the above trip with Intrepid in Jan 2026. There were only 6 of us on our tour so it was nice & intimate. Our guide Stefan was great, always welcomed us on the bus with a tale about the elves or trolls or sometimes with a sing song as well as being a wealth of knowledge on the history of Iceland etc. Accommodation was of a good standard but the read more Foss Hotel Glacier Lagoon was outstanding. I know most people do the Golden Circle but do yourself a favour & book a tour that also includes the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, you won't be disappointed.
The only comment I'd make is that I thought a farewell dinner should have been included, first time I've been on a tour where it hasn't been, however Stefan organised one at our expense (Iceland is VERY expensive). Our Consultant Hannah Campbell was great, always got back to me promptly whenever I asked a question. Our experience with Hannah & Global Journeys was such a good one that we currently have another 2 active bookings in the system. Would 100% recommend Intrepid, Hannah & Global Journeys to anyone.

Imperial and Impressive
Prague, Vienna and Budapest (Winter)
Vivianne, NSW, Australia, Jan 2026
The trip was fabulous, the cities explored were so imperial and impressive. Our Tour Director Agnes was wonderful, she knew everything about all the cities and places of where to go in your spare time. She was also thoughtful and attentive to all the travellers. Highly recommend Trafalgar and Global Journeys for an amazing adventure. Hotels were excellent.
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.
