We thoroughly enjoyed this trip. It was everything we expected and more. I would definitely book another trip with Globus. I look forward to my next tour.

Once again the itinerary we selected met our expectations. This is the reason why my husband and I and now our group selects Globus. Have enjoyed all of our travels with you since 2000.
