Globus Faith Reviews 408

Blessed to have experienced this trip with 10 family members aged 15 to 80. We enjoyed great comraderie with the larger group and participated in faith experiences. Our tour director kept us on schedule and was very patient with young and old, slow and frenzied. There were 2 long bus rides but we stopped at beautiful places along the way. We added 2 extra days in Lisbon before starting, and 2 extra days in Barcelona at the end. Portugal is beautiful.

The Globus tour guide for the cruise, George, was excellent. He looked out for everyone. The local tour guide for Ephesus was outstanding, he knew the bible scriptures and ancient history.

The breakfast at the Tafolia hotel was just good. The scrambled eggs were not eatable.

The trip seemed like a boot camp we were rushing too much and not enough free time. Except on the cruise, we were moving everyday packing and unpacking.

Only about 60% of the tour was about Apostle Paul, the tour was mislabeled.

The pilgrimage tour was excellent especially the tour director. The tour itself was what I expected to see and learn about the Holy Land. However, it was the tour director that impressed me the most. Samir was knowledgeable and articulate in every holy site as written in the Holy scriptures, as well as Israel's rich ancient and old history, its three monotheistic religions' demographics, and diverse culture today. The pilgrimage tour re-affirmed my Catholic faith and I humbly learned about others. I am glad I chose catholiccruisesandtours.com and Cosmos Travel for this pilgrimage. Thank you.

Good tour for the value. Accommodations were fine, however, the brochure needs a better description of how much walking and stairs are involved.

Knowledgeable and professional tour leaders, who were able to solve any problems that came up without difficulty. Transportation and lodging options were good.

I enjoyed going to mass everyday. The churches and cathedrals were stunning. The itinerary was well thought out, offering many opportunities to spend some contemplative time alone and celebrate mass with the group.

Overall, the trip was great; however, better planning in relationship to local holidays when everything closes. The return was a very late flight And all the restaurants were closed. We had a check out the hotel room at 11 AM and our flight was at 11:55 pm. This needs better coordination. Between the late return flight and the local Holiday, This meant we were at completely loose, ends to find someplace to eat, and we had to pay for an extra night at the hotel, even though we were leaving that night. There needs to be better coordination and planning for the situation. It almost felt as if we were abandoned in a foreign country.

Great amazing tour! More than I expected! Will plan my next trip with Cosmos.

Great company, best tour Director, best driver and lastly well planned itinerary.
The tour director is skillful, honest and experienced. She handles her job well and has rapport to people.
Her approach is down to earth, and you can feel her sincerity. I wish I have a girlfriend like her.

The fish frozen and the restaurant we went wasn’t good

Easy to book, great tour, the best sightseeing and amazing guides. A trip of a lifetime

I can’t begin to tell you how fantastic our trip was as we journeyed through "The Footsteps of the Apostle Paul" with our Globus guide. Ourania is an exceptional tour guide! She was informational and educational, exhibiting a mastery of Greece history. She went above and beyond, to ensure that our group felt safe and made sure we had fun! We visited several different cities in seven days and she still kept her same enthusiasm. The Globus team put together a great selection of Biblical historic sites, museums, landmarks, restaurants, and hotels that helped bring the Bible alive. If we decide to visit other cities in Europe we would definitely use them again!

Our tour guide was genuine and kind and went out of her way to make sure we each had our needs met. She offered her faith to speak into the lives of the Greek population and the Footsteps of Paul. She had her Phd in archeology that made it even more valuable to hear her insights. She made the trip fascinating as she told about the rise and fall of the empires.

The itineraries were good plus we had a excellent driver and very knowledgeable tour director

Love the fact that company took care of every single detail to keep us safe and provide us with a great experience visiting many places a good, knowledgeable and caring tour director Mr. Sair. The reason I give five stars is because some of the restaurants we were took for lunch were expensive and not good food for the price in a bad neighborhoods.

Tour director was great and helpful. Lodging and meals were good. Sites we visited were amazing!

The tour was excellent, mainly due to the guidance and organization of the Tour Director, Mr. Samir Farran, who has deep knowledge of the Catholic history and the region in general. He gave us all the details and time, and definitively exceeded expectations in terms of dedication to us. He treated us as family members. His personal values and dedication are out of the ordinary by far.

I enjoyed my trip overall, because I made the best of it! However, Globus CUSTOMER SERVICE, needs major improvement overall. Once I booked my trip with Michelle, she seemed to be gone... I placed 2 calls to her & I am still waiting for her to return my calls... A week before my departure & due to the issues happening in Israel, I was concerned & called Globus. The woman with whom I spoke, seemed ignorant to any relative issues that could affect MY SAFETY, that did not make me feel good at all. Luckily everyth8ing went smooth.
The tour guide in Israel YAIR was OUTSTANDING!!! The tour guide in Jordan ELIAS, should NOT be freelancing for Globus, he hardly explained issues, did not use headsets; therefore, there were times when we not all could hear him & it seems that everyday, he was in a rushed to drop us off at the hotel, as he was always too busy taking PERSONAL PHONE CALLS (I do have photos of him on his phone) & he did not join us for our last dinner, like Yair did.

The places visited were all good.
The tour was well-organized.

Fabulous experience with small group doing the Camino We had a fantastic guide Alex who supported us and cheered us on each day. 7 ladies in our group and we all bonded like susters
