    This was my second Globus tour this year...2023. What I liked most about this tour was and the Normandy tour earlier was the amount of key attractions and sites that were included. I honestly can't imagine the same experience if done independently. The schedule was busy with both tours, but this was offset by how much was included in the time of the tours. Well done!

    Guide Zdenka was excellent. She was always doing all she could to help us with any problems which presented. She had a great attitude and was encouraging to help us make the best of the trip. She was very knowledgeable and provided appeared to know the area well which we traveled. We would love to travel with her in the future. William Edward Brown

    The tour was overall excellent. The biggest disappointment was St. Moritz. The carriage ride was a disappointment because of the length and destination. We thought we would be seeing the beautiful city on the upper level.
