Anonymous· July 27th, 2024The 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.Show moreTrip date: July 2024- AEd· October 25th, 2023Your director was very experienced and knowledgeable which enabled him to handle any situation.Show moreTrip date: September 2023Review collected by Globus
