Questions & Answers Ask A Question
Question: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?
Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
This was my first guided tour and in most cases it exceeded my expectations. I booked as a solo traveler even though I was with two friends who also booked as solo travelers. At the hotels and then the cruise cabin it was great to have the space to myself. We preceded our trip with three days in Istanbul, which we did on our own and was phenomenal. The hotels booked with Globus were very nice with appropriate amenities. The tour guides, were absolutely wonderful, and the group of 34 people we were traveling with were so much fun. We became one big happy family and I would love to travel with them all again. I think the only negative is the feeling of being rushed all the time. I wish we could have spent more time at some of the locations, but then again, when I think of all the places we visited, I am amazed at how much we saw and how much we did. It was a wonderful opportunity to be able to do this.
