    My husband, myself and my 2 sisters booked a tour through Globus 'The Taperstry tour'. Our tour guide Gert was a very knowledgeable, patient and excellent tour guide. Gert made our tour come alive with his history and knowledge of all the countries and cities we visited,any issues we had he was there to assist us. Gert had character was funny and very enjoyable to listen to. It would be awesome if all the guides had the expertise of Gert. He is one not to let go. Thank you Gert for making our journey through Europe a very enjoyable one. Keep up the good work and hope to meet again on another tour in the future

    Spectacular Switzerland lived up to and exceeded its name. We saw so much but the balance between guided tours and free time to explore was perfect. Our guide Sheryl was absolutely incredible and added so much to this trip. Five stars is an understatement! 🤩

    This tour was excellent and indeed explored the Best of Switzerland. Initially we had apprehension at first because it missed some popular tourist spots, but we were surprised that the choices were actually better and we wouldn't have thought of it if we did the tour on our own. Even if we didn't get to ride any of the scenic train rides, the coach experience was amazing and indeed explored other beautiful routes in the comforts of a carefree bus. Martina and Massimo truly made our experience wonderful. Martina had so many interesting anecdotes and historical stories that made us appreciate Switzerland culture so much. Massimo, on the other hand, had excellent driving skills especially on those tight turns even on high ground. Both made our tour comfortable and pleasurable. My comment would be to have more time in all the stops that we had, especially since most of the time we would arrive at late afternoon already and we only had an hour or so to look at shops, etc. I would also want to comment on the welcome dinner we had which was a bit subpar compared to the other meals we had prepared by Globus. Overall, the tour is highly recommended to anyone who would want to explore Switzerland and see the beauty it offers.

    Am I able to do this on this platform under Tourradar? Would it be better to book it direct from Globus website? My clients would prefer to have true all inclusive package with air.

      In case something happened. How is the cancellation process just in case

    • GlobusOperatorWritten December 2024

      If your mom feels like she wouldn't be able to participate, she will be able to sit out of the activities. She will be required to unload off of the bus for all activities. When booking your tour, you are required to make a non-refundable deposit. In the event you will need to cancel, your deposit will not be refunded.
