Globus Travel Site
As I mentioned previously, Globus now has a website (http://www.exchangetravelstories.com) where travellers can tell of their adventures on various tours with the Globus chain (they have 5 different travel companies). I decided to tell of the G'day Australia tour with Auckland add-on I took back in January 24, 2004 to February 8, 2004. It was the best tour I've ever been on. Our tour guide Jann Elphinstone was absolutely fantastic. I got to do so many cool things and the people in our group were so nice. I was terribly saddened when it was over. It's because of that tour that I'm looking so much to the Scandanavia tour.
Anyway, I had to do my narrative in six parts: Sydney, Cairns, Alice Springs, Ayers Rock, Melbourne and Auckland. We'll see if they post them. Also, I looked for stories on their tours to Scandanavia. I'd like to know how good they are. Sadly, no one has posted anything from those countries. It looks like I'll have to find out when I go on the tour.

Our trip to England and Ireland was a disaster. The tour guide would dump us off in the middle of a town,tell us if we were late meeting the bus at the designated time we would be left. There wasn't any tour guide assistance as far as we were concerned. We will not ever use the Globus/Cosmos Tours again. Please check with other companies so you will not be as disappointed. We had saved three years for this trip to be treated as if we were a bother to them.
HautieTx, which company did you use? Globus or Cosmos? They run different tours. From what I understand, Cosmos is lower scale than Globus. Also, did you use Globus' Monogram tours which is their do your own thing tour with minimal tour assistance? I've been on 2 Globus escorted tours and the tour guide did help as much as they reasonably could. The only exception I've seen was concerning an add-on in New Zealand. The reason for that was that Globus only paid him to pick us up at the airport and take us back to the airport, take us to and from our hotel and give us a half day tour of Auckland. The rest of the time, we were on our own.
