Did the Globus Highlands and Islands Scottish Tour with Ian and Allister. What a trip!! With his sharp wit, immense knowledge and fun humour, Ian absolutely brought Scotland to vivid life with his many tales, informative quips and total, utter passion for history. Was spellbound. Am so VERY thankful I had the opportunity to be on Ian's last bus tour before retiring with Globus. In addition, to being so hard working and helpful, with Allister our driver, I cannot tell you how safe and secure I felt in his capable driving hands. He had some very awkward traffic and interesting roads to navigate with our large bus, (especially on the islands and up north) but he handled it all expertly and without a hitch. So much so, I was able to relax and enjoy the journey. All in all, with our tour, you could tell both these kind men cared very much for those of us who needed the extra help and advice. Made my bucket list trip to Scotland so memorable and wonderful. Thank you Ian and Allister! Globus is truly fortunate to have you both.
I have done Newfoundland & Labrador with Iceberg Festival tour with Globus in June 2024. It was absolute rubbish for the price I paid towards the tour. Terrible hotels, horrible meals, barely any sightseeing that is worth while the visit, most importantly, the Iceberg festival never happened. Globus sold this specific tour departure date as the only way to attend this supposed Iceberg Festival. I felt cheated after paying 3527£ for a 13 day tour considering the only reason I picked this departure date was because I wanted to attend this Iceberg festival. I could have used my time and money in a better way doing a different tour with another company. A Canadian company who did the exact same tour is doing it for £2400. I have been travelling with Globus and Cosmos tours since 2008. However, this company tours have been terrible after the covid shutdowns. They are charging more than the premium companies and not providing the equivalent service on par with the prices. Safe to say that I won't be recommending Globus and Cosmos tours to anyone. Try other tour companies that are on the market.
This is my second time travelling with Globus, would have been my third if not for COVID. The way they plan everything is super organized, the tour managers are very caring and knowledgeable. We always enjoy all the site visits planned for each trip. They start by picking you up from the airport and from then on everything is taken care of up until the last day of your trip, even dropping you off at the airport not matter the time of day or night. The hotels at every city are always great and centrally located so you can walk around during your free time or plan your own visits to different sites.
PROS: Scotland is so beautiful and the places we visited were awesome. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about Scotland but that's where the PROS end. CONS: This tour was almost $20,000 CDN for the 2 of us which did not include airfare, tips or all meals. This tour was sold as high end and it was everything but high end. I spent much less on 2 weeks in Ireland with another tour groups and it included everything! I felt like this tour nickel and dimed us to death. Hotels were something to be desired. Some so filthy we had to change rooms. Hotels were so noisy, we couldn't sleep. Excursions were not that great and some we cancelled because of our experience with some. The Scottish night was attrocious. Food was horrible, haggis tasted only of liver, fig dessert was musy and rotten, and we were served frozen vegetables with our cold chicken. We paid $186 CDN each for this horrible meal and event hall. There were about 100 people too many in there and I didn't feel safe. We were never offered audio guides for the tours that were included even though they were available. No water given as they said to bring your own water bottle and there would be water everywhere to fill up. Not true. Our tour guide was arrogant and didn't have an ounce of empathy in him. All he did was point us in the direction to go and tell us what time we had to be back on the bus. I will never use Globus or any of their affiliates ever again. Sold as high end and we got no where near that.
My go-to escorted travel Co My 4th trip with Globus and the did not disappoint. The sales deals they offer make it affordable for me to travel. All of the guides are well versed in the history of the area you travel in.
