Great trip! Very educational. Tour guide and coach driver were fantastic! Rooms were very nice, although figuring out lighting situation was often confusing. Figuring out showers was interesting too. The one problem I saw was that when we visited sites such as Auschwitz, Dachau and Schindlers factory, we seemed rushed. We need to be allowed more time!
My biggest gripe with Globus are the dinners that are included which should be given a few choices on menu. I do not like pork and I find German food not the greatest too. The few rest stops during lunch breaks are not great too when we ate at McDonald’s and another time at Burger King. I have gone on other tours and this was rather disappointing.
The tour was excellent, the hotels and attractions were above expectations.
great, great time
Was very disapointed in Berlin. Globus would have known ahead of time that the president of Israel was staying there for the time we were and should have booked with another hotel. We were made to feel like terrorists with going through thorough security 3 times every time we went out. I'm not complaining about the security for a high official but if wanted that kind of security I would have gone to Israel. It was totally ridiculous and the hotel and Globus should be ashamed of themselves. It really put a damper on the vacation and I don't think there was one person that was happy with that.
