    · November 27th, 2022
    Accommodation excellent, scenery superb, Tour Guide had excellent knowledge of areas visited and gave clear directions Bus driver was the most competent I've seen, I think he could thread the bus through the eye of a needle. Both boat trips were a major highlight, but the creme de la creme was the snow at Cradle Mountain For my wife especially as it was one of those things she had always wanted to experience. Would definitely travel with Globus again Gerardus and Diane van Keule
