Globus Reviews

The tour director, Oshan Mahoney, was great very friendly. Driver Julian was very skilled. Overall tour was great to get some insights. But the accommodations were really below par, the hotels were really dated, some of the hotels are really dirty in the bathroom.

The Globus The Scandinavian was a wonderful trip. The tour guide Anna Lena was very experienced so everything went very smoothly and she was a wealth of information. Most hotels were very centrally located with most meals in hotels being of good quality. The last optional in Oslo the panoramic dinner was of poor quality however but Globus offered a ...read more 50% refund for this. Which I appreciated. The coach driver was also excellent. Overall I would recommend this holiday seeing so much beautiful scenery.

Great holiday, we enjoyed the whole trip and were amazed by the wonderful scenery. The bus trip was set at a good pace with plenty of thought by the Tour Director. His planning and knowledge was superb. Accommodation was good to excellent. We hopefully will be planning another Globus Tour, using Global Journeys to book with, as Jodie Wallis was very ...read more helpful in the planning of the trip.

The Rocky Mountaineer, Gold Leaf, journey was sensational, very well organised & run. Our tour director, Doug, was excellent, very personable and knowledgeable of the areas travelled. Trip ran very smoothly even with several early starts. Could probably have done with a couple of extra days along the way. The weather was not particularly good but ...read more the scenery was still spectacular.

Enjoyable easy paced tour from New York return visiting Washington, the Amish in Lancaster, Niagara with the Maid of the Mist boat cruise, adding the helicopter flight over the falls. In Canada, Ottawa was a pleasant surprise as was Quebec City. The extension tour in New York by metro to the One World Tower observatory and a cruise to see the Statue ...read more of Liberty, Ellis Island and the Brooklyn Bridge was also enjoyable. We recommend this tour as one of the better Globus tours with Matt Guido as the best tour guide we have had to date.

I thoroughly enjoyed the trip throughout Alaska and the Yukon this September. It was the perfect time of the year to visit with all the stunning autumn colours. The northern lights were spectacular to see over multiple nights.

Enjoyed the trip but in some places we felt very rushed, like Glasgow. I would like to have seen more and in the districts. It would have been nice to see Beatrix Potter's house. I thought the ferry was a waste of time and stopping 10 seconds up the road a complete waste of time. Some hotels were very dated and old especially Inverness and Portrush. ...read more The driver Dave and Annie, the tour guide, were awesome and a fantastic asset to Globus.

From the moment we first caught up with the Tour Group everything went to plan with no issues. The hotels exceeded our expectations in regard to quality and location.

Trip was great...all as promised. Our tour took us away from the freeways to sites significant to the history of St. Patrick. Downpatrick and the first Christian Church nearby were such places. Unexpectedly we happened upon an archeological 'dig' in the grounds of the cathedral and were given an impromptu lecture of the grounds and some startling finds. ...read more Tour leader Angela was fabulous, great knowledge and endless humour. Accommodation was excellent as were provided meals. The optional excursions were all well-received.

We enjoyed our tour of the Baltics with the St Petersburg inclusion. It was not too rushed, the itinerary was as expected and our Tour Director was excellent. The hotels were in walking distance of the main sightseeing/cultural areas and generally of high quality. We did find the optional extras to be too expensive and in St Petersburg, felt one of ...read more them should have been an inclusion. Our highlight was the Hermitage in St Petersburg and we were pleased to be able to stay after the Tour 'tour' had finished.

We enjoyed our tour with Globus. The tour was well paced with plenty of free time. We travelled in the last week of August. I would recommend doing this tour in mid to late September as it was very hot on most days. Georgie from Global Journeys was extremely helpful during the booking process. And I really appreciated her prompt responses to any questions ...read more I had before we travelled. Thank you.

Wonderful experience with great guidance throughout the trip. I would like to do another trip again sometime.
Globus delivered everything they said they would.

Thanks Jodie, we had a great time on our Globus Tour of the Spirit of the Rockies with Cruise, Highlights are Vancouver, Rocky Mountaineer, Banff, Jasper, Sun Peaks and Whistler was fantastic. Our only problem was it all went to quickly. Saw Bears, Moose , Goats etc. Peter our guide was great, Coach driver was fantastic as well.

It was good being in the same hotel for the tour and just travelling each day to a different spot on the Cape. Close up to the humpback whales was an amazing experience.

West Coast of Canada is quite impressive. The beautiful views never seem to end. The tour guide and the driver were excellent. We were disappointed with some of the hotels and some of the breakfast. There seemed to be a lot of add-on excursions which could end up being very expensive. The fellow travellers were lovely and seem to get along well with ...read more each other and were considerate of each other.

An enjoyable 10 day holiday, some highlights were Yosemite National Park, Canary Row, Aquarium, Alcatraz and San Francisco. Friendly relaxed fellow passengers, excellent tour guide and driver. Professionally run and accommodation was generally very good.

Really enjoyed our trip - Austria was lovely. Appreciated efforts of Global Journeys to get us booked onto the trip. Highlights were the concert in Vienna, Sound of Music Church and trip on Danube. Not impressed with our tour director - sat at the front of the coach and offered very little information about places we were passing through.

We joined this Globus tour in August. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed everyday of the tour.

This tour delivered what its brochure promised it would do. From the extraordinary Butchart Gardens in Victoria to scrambling over the Columbia Icefield and a breakfast on top of a mountain at Banff, it mixed sightseeing, optional excursions and spectacular scenery into a trip that I'll remember for some time. And, yes, there were bears (sometimes with ...read more cubs), elk and deer to be seen. Highlights are difficult to prioritise, but Maligne Lake is certainly one. The optionals offered were diverse and well organised. Accommodation was comfortable and the dinners provided were good. With the exception of Lake Louise, disappointments were few.

The tour director, Brad Noyes, was exceptional. His commentaries on Canada's history, the country's current issues and his love of the Rockies kept the group informed, but he added an extra that was also welcome. As we came into a town where we were to spend a night or two, he took the coach around the town, pointing out likely places of interest, eating places and even the ubiquitous Irish Pub. Those travelling from Australia in Canada's 'summer' should acquaint themselves with what the Canadians call 'layers'. The mornings in the Rockies can drop to close to 0C, the days to a top of 15C: 28C is described as 'hot'. Pack a jumper and other warm clothing before you go, especially for Maligne Lake. As for Global Journeys, and Jemma who organised the trip, thank you for the professional way you handled it all.

Booking process was easy with Jemma responding to queries promptly. The coach travel portion was as expected, early starts but getting into destinations early. Some glitches with information not passed on at first hotel in Boston. Accommodation was of good quality, included evening meals of a fair standard. Shelburne museum a great place with plenty ...read more to see. The Tour Director, Hilary, was very knowledgeable and helpful. The ship embarkation and disembarkation was a streamlined process. Ocean view cabins were situated on lower promenade deck and staff helpful. A great variety of food and restaurants to choose, at a price, if didn't feel like eating at the included areas. There were a variety of excursions to choose from if you wanted to see more of the ports. All types of entertainment to cater for most preferences.
