Really enjoyed this trip with Viking. The ship was super impressive with a luxurious feel across the board. The food was outstanding and the cruise itself took us through some spectacular scenery. The booking process with Global Journeys was very smooth also - really liked being able to pay off the trip over several months. Highly recommend the overall ...read more experience and would book with Global Journeys and Viking again!
OK, the only down side in visiting Greenland and Iceland is getting there from Australia. Paying for Business Class on Emirates was extravagant but we were well looked after and were able to sleep. Icelandic Air took us from London to Reykjavik. A smaller plane but a great service. Getting from the airport to Reykjavik itself is a $300+ taxi ride, which ...read more was a shock. I required a walk in shower which I had, but king size rooms were over the top and doubles would have been better.
Our suites on the Norwegian Star were spacious, but no walk in shower. The drinks package was great, my son using it more than me. I couldn't get a cappuccino but I could get Irish Coffee. However a few days before the end of the cruise, I wasn't feeling well and saw the ship's doctor. The staff were brilliant but I ended up with an U.S.$11,000 bill. I purchased travel insurance but am not looking forward to trying to get some of my money back. In conclusion, it is a long way away but worth seeing. Three degrees in Greenland was fine, no breeze. It felt colder in Sydney when we got off the plane. The food, entertainment and staff were outstanding. The fruit was beautiful. We spent two days in Reykjavik before getting on the boat and another day before we left. Expensive, but ask for a double room not king. Warm clothing, sensible shoes.
Excursions are expensive, but worth it. I paid $600 each for a six hour trip. It included a fish salting factory then onto the boat where we tried to find a whale. There are more off the east coast of Australia at the moment. Fishing rods then came out and soon large cod were being caught. Back into the harbour where the fish were cooked then up the road to a local restaurant for lunch. All up, I felt it was good value. I am not well off and my son came with me to help out. The only negatives are the amount I have been slugged by the on board medical centre, but I was concerned as to how I would handle the flights home and the shower in my suite not being accessible as it was over a bath. Support Greenland and Iceland and try the Irish coffee!

We enjoyed this tour immensely, the pace with 2 night stays was perfect and the places we saw were awesome. Our tour leader was super efficient BUT for the price the overall holiday was not value for money. We loved Munich, picturesque Lake Constance was a highlight, then beautiful Innsbruck, the scenery in Cortina (Dolomites) was breathtaking, historic ...read more Verona was very interesting, and finishing off in Venice was icing on the cake. BUT, there were a few things that did not compliment such a great tour - the hotel in Munich was average, the hotel in Cortina had no air conditioning and we sweltered in the heat and the hotel in Verona was some 20 kms out of town. The included evening dinner meals (3) were disappointing in quality and the set menu did not suit everyone. The there was the coach driver who was regularly on his phone while driving and got lost quite often. Don’t get me wrong we had a fantastic holiday but there were things that were not up to standard which made in not value for money.
We thoroughly enjoyed cruising the Pacific - the French Polynesian islands are just amazing! Rachael was fantastic through the whole process and responded to all our queries, no matter how trivial or inane, quickly and helpfully. Thanks for your patience Rachael!! Definitely book through Global Journeys again !
A well organised trip with careful planning for each of the days walks. Our guide, Joe, was exceptional. Would recommend if you like walking, but not carrying luggage.
This is a fabulous trip with 2 days at each hotel. I highly recommend the Italian Lakes as a relaxing style of travel . The lakes and the surrounding area is absolutely beautiful. We had a great group of people that mixed very well together. One thing I would recommend is a get together dinner early in the trip instead of it being the second last night. ...read more Thanks to Tracey at Global Journeys for looking after us.
This was our first visit to these 4 capitals and we were very happy with the Bunnik tour. Our tour Director, Klemen, was outstanding. The Bunnik itinerary was flexible so we could add in extra stops without rushing the scheduled visits. We could do as much or as little walking as we wanted as Klemen always gave us options. Our tour had only 8 travellers ...read more so all our stops were much more efficient than would have been on a larger group. We combined this tour with a 20 day Bunnik ‘Jewels of Dalmatia’ tour of Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Slovenia. We can definitely recommend both these tours.
We went on our first cruise from Naples to Athens, over 6 nights, on the Sun Princess. The cruise was fantastic, well beyond our expectations. The boat, crew, facilities were incredible and we loved the tours we booked onshore. The trip was totally enjoyable. No negatives. We booked through Global Journeys with Grace. She was amazing, so helpful, ...read more knowledgeable and patient. Grace answered all my queries promptly and was super helpful. Highly recommend her. Thank you.
I compared a lot of itineraries in choosing this trip and was pleased with my choice as it included a lot of the smaller towns I wanted to see...as a solo traveller. I was impressed with the size and location of my hotel rooms and the variety of food offered at breakfast buffets that covered all dietary issues...our tour guide Tim was fabulous; originally ...read more from Ailustralia but having married a Pole, he had first hand stories about customs and culture. My only negative feedback would be a lot of walking tours the first few days if you took all the optionals. However I arrived quite a few days before, so had already done some. We had a group of 32 and there was plenty of leg room on the coach which the driver kept spotless. Thank you to Rachael for a flawless booking.
We found the trip a bit of a disappointment, the accommodation was fantastic near or in the Game Reserve, the food was good with 3 meals a day with a large variety to choose from and the 6 seater 4x4 with lifting roof where comfortable and allowed all of us to have a great view and get great shots. Ours and fellow travelers disappointed was that most ...read more drives were only 2 hours and the 4x4 were not aquipped with radio to communicate with other vehicles and seemed to drive a set route, we were told one day we were not looking for big cats as the agenda said elephants. Also our tour guide moved between both vehicles each day but spent most of it talking to the driver. While it was a great experience going to these amazing locations I’d probably choose another provider for our next adventure in Africa.
