Amazing trip   3 , WA, Australia, Sep 2017
Amazing trip and thanks to Hannah who made it all possible. Hannah was very helpful and always got back to me if I had a query. Thank you Hannah. The sites we visited were beautiful and well selected. It was a memorable experience that will be with me for ever. The accommodation at some hotels could have been better. Simple things like a kettle to make read more a cup of tea/coffee and some hotels did not have a tissue box.
Marian Shrine Pilgrimage 2 , NSW, Australia, Jun 2017
It was more than what I expected. My husband and I felt so blessed to have done this tour. Everyone was so kind. The tour guide was just wonderful, he never panicked and was always calm.
Great trip = Marian Shrined 2 , WA, Australia, Jun 2017
Trip was great, well organised , accommodation really good as very close to the main attraction ( walking distance). The last time I travelled was 3 years ago, again with Globus. Nice to have been provided with a bottle of water every day as Europe was unusually hot. Booking with Hannah Campbell at Global Journeys was superb - will definitely travel read more with Globus again. Hopefully, soon!
We felt we were with professionals 2 , QLD, Australia, Oct 2015
First impressions count, and when we first met our tour guide in Portugal we felt we were with professionals. Every detail was taken care and we felt safe and were looked after at all times. Our Guide Fernanda was so knowledgeable and quick to correct any problems. Not many at all! The Marian Shrine visits were so well organised and attended mass almost read more in every occasion. This was very important to us. I would suggest extend the length of the tour to an extra day or two to leave extra time interesting locations. For example: We did no have enough time to explore Burgos, we loved the place but time flew so quickly and next thing we were already having dinner and ready to go to bed. Also, Globus might consider to provide as part of the registration a travel pouch documents with the name of the Globus Family or similar objects to make us stand out and we could keep as souvenir after the tour. We took two optional tours. Dinner in Madrid and night tour, I don't think it offered value for money. The other tour to Avila was perfect and we enjoyed so much. Research more about the quality of local guide tours, some were difficult to understand although knowledgeable about the location but had difficulty in expressing. In overall, all the local guides offered a good service. In regards to food, I think care was taken to accommodate all tastes and dietary requirements! Thank you! We will definitively used Globus for our next tour whenever that might be. Thank you Hannah for all your help and for keeping us informed about our tour!
