The tour director was wonderful and the driver kept us safe on the road.

Can't say enough about the Globus tour we took, or the help we had from our Affordable Agent in making all the arrangements. It was our first time with both companies, and we will be back. As for the tour itself, it was just a beautiful and fun experience from beginning to end.

Fabulous trip with outstanding accomodations. We have done other trips with Globus and Avalon and have always been pleased. Our guide with Globus, Jennifer was outstanding.

I have not traveled with Globus in years and mistakenly thought it was a one night one city tour. I was so wrong. This trip was amazing. Our guide Alma was so knowledgeable So efficient and pleasant we all ageed she helped make the trip. Granted this was a luxury tour but it was done so well and the hotels were amazing as was the train.
