I enjoyed going to mass everyday

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.

Standing in the need of a better coordination

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.

The Greatest Travel of my Life

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.

I can’t begin to tell you how fantastic…

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!

Knowledgeable and personal tour guide

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.

Love the fact that company took care of…

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.

The tour was more than excellent!

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

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.

Trip of a lifetime

What an amazing trip. Our guide Tzachi Kolimbus was a walking encyclopedia of history and religion along with local culture. Our driver Shi was also amazing despite “busmageddon” traffic multiple days. The schedule was updated as we went to try and get us to places before the massive crowds. We walked a ton and learned so much that it will take months to digest it all. As one person in our tour said it is like we were reading the Bible in black and white before and now it’s all in color. Amazing experience. On a side note, whoever is reading this…if there were any people who complained about this trip I would advise you to take it with a grain of salt as there were many things that were completely out of our tour guides, driver’s, or Globus’ control I.e., weather, traffic, and length of time to get through exhibits due to crowds. All part of the experience and the millions of people who want to walk where Jesus walked.

Powerful, educational, informative on culture and country

The tour was well organized and orchestrated.
The tour guide Mr Ossie was absolutely wonderful!!!!!!! If a glitch came up he took care of it without worry to his group. He knew the customs and how to weave in and out seamlessly. Mr Ossie made sure you saw all the marvels on the tour. His tour brought out his love and respect for his country.
The driver Isaac was a master at getting us in and out of tight spaces and would have us as close as possible to most entrances.
They were a dynamic duo to say the very least.
We all knew and felt we were in good hands for the entire trip.
The hotels were wonderful at feeding large numbers but we're not quite ready for tourists in other areas. No bar staff, air-conditioning not on yet, pools not open, bell staff lacking. The rooms were clean and nice in all the hotels.
Absolutely loved ever minute of this tour and would recommend it to all who were interested.

Experiencing archeological sites was awesome. Dining on the food grown in the region was great. Knowledgeable guide and driver made for a pleasant experience. A box lunch at noon would have satisfied us just as well in our opinion. The pace was correct for our group size. Too many churches.
