    The tour was ok but not for young solo travellers. I did mostly all of the excursions on my own and did not pay for the extra ones. The bus was good hotels nice food nothing great and to much talk from the guide. However they are good for transportation and hotels then go out on your own. I will not be using another tour company as the transit system is excellent in Europe.

    The tour was comprehensive and well planned. The tour director and tour guides were all very good. My primary complaint, and warning to anyone considering a Globus tour, is not to go with any kind of an odd number. 1 person, 3 people, 5 person party, etc. Everything is set up for 2s. We were a family of three, and were told (I called and emailed ahead of time) that since we were paying full price for three people, our room would be a "triple." They implied that this was something different than a double. It was not. Our room was the exact same as a double, just with a cot thrown in. The problem with that is the rooms in German hotels are TINY, and so once you add a cot, I kid you not, there was NO room for luggage to be opened. I generally had to take the little night table and chair included in the room and put it in the hallway outside the room just to open a single luggage at a time (and we had three). At night, with the cot, it was a safety hazard as there was barely a walkway to the bathroom. Having us pay a third full price fare for NO change in the hotel is pretty much a scam. I get that there was likely a fee for the third continental breakfast in the morning, but still. Now that I've warned anyone considering an odd-numbered party, I will say that other than that the trip was a reasonable success. I wish the included dinners weren't in the hotel (it reminded me of going to a conference, with bland hotel buffets, when I would have preferred eating the local cuisine), but other than that, really, the tour was enjoyable and as expected.
