- AArleen· October 21st, 2022First time on a globus trip. Really enjoyed Linda she was very informative and wanted to make sure we had a good time.Show moreTrip date: October 2022Review collected by Globus
- AJames and Gail· October 16th, 2022We felt we were in good hands and didn't have to be concerned with anything other than having a great time. The itinerary was great, the venues were great, and when the balloon festival was rained out, it was arranged for us to return on a different date so we were able to see the balloons. No other tour groups that we are aware of had this extra level of care.Show moreTrip date: October 2022Review collected by Globus
- AHarriet· October 23rd, 2022All went quite smoothly. There were times when I was concerned about finding lunch in a strand ge place and eating and being back in time. It always worked out fine but we were in a situation previously on another tour where we finally found a restaurant and when it arrived we didn't have time to eat because our bus was leaving.Show moreTrip date: September 2022Review collected by Globus
