    I thoroughly enjoyed the Globus experience. It was easy to plan the vacation and upon arrival our guide Caterina and driver Antonio were exceptional. I was able to relax and soak in the sights as I listened to the wealth of information provided by the various guides. Everything was timely and professional.

    Our guide Caterina Thiel was outstanding. Can't say enough wonderful things about her. The personal touches she added to the tour was especially appreciated. The schedule was very busy but it allowed us to visit the maximum number of sites that existed.

    I am extremely happy with European Essentials tour with London extension. The city tours were awesome and hit all the highlights. The group meals were outstanding, I was very impressed. The excursions were top notch. I can't say enough about our tour guide Simone. She was fantastic every step of the way. She kept us informed and updated. I loved her personally and humor throughout the tour. During our tour we had some delays and traffic issues and she handled it very well. I met some really great people in our group. I look forward to my next trip with Globus. So many people in our group commented that we would all request Simone as their tour guide. If that is an option, I would definitely tour with her again!
