What travelers are saying

"Globus states that their tours feature "great hotels" and "amazing food". I can tell you first hand that this is literally false advertising and totally not true. I just returned from my trip yesterday and have taken pictures of the filthy carpet and boarded up windows of my various hotel rooms some facing the trash dumpsters and porta potties and others in the basement level reeking of mold and mildew with no air conditioning or water pressure. Our tour guide, Charlie was a history buff who treated everyone as if they were a student in his classroom and were only allowed to speak when spoken to and it was made clear from the start that all questions were best kept to themselves as he and he alone would decide when you were to be informed of that days schedule. Half the time we rode in coach unaware of the length of time until our next stop and even where and when our next stop for lunch would be. Early on in my trip, I contacted my travel agent to please help and she immediately reached out to Globus and nothing changed... the sub par hotels and tour guides dismissive attitude continued for 24 days. I am currently contemplating my next step of action to receive reimbursement for this false advertising as well trying to help others by sparing them of having this same experience."

What travelers are saying

"I've been on 11 EFUB trips and I have to say that Morocco was one of the absolute best trips I have ever been on. Morocco is such a beautiful and diverse country with an even more beautiful and rich culture. Our tour director Rabie made the trip everything it was. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt accommodated for, comfortable, and safe. He was one of the most attentive TDs I've ever had and is so extremely knowledgeable and passionate about sharing his country and culture with us. If you get Rabie for your TD, you would be the absolute luckiest. The fact that our group size was one of the smallest I've ever had was also the best. We all became close so quickly and since there is a great mix of down time on this trip, we had so much time to relax and just get to know one another. There are a few long travel days in the middle of the trip on the bus, but are necessary to get from place to place and without them, we never would have saw such amazing places like the High Atlas Mountains, the gorges, and other landscapes. The rest of our days were jammed packed and even included extra activities like a hot air balloon ride over the desert! The optional cooking class was so worth the add-on. It was at the most beautiful resort in the middle of the desert and the tagine we cooked was delicious. I cannot recommend this trip enough - it truly exceeded all expectations and I know I will be back again."

"My wife, her two sisters and I took a 14 day tour of France with Gate 1 on May 8, 2024. Our guide, Jordane, started the tour with a speech about health and safety and how sick people must wear masks and sit in the back of the bus. Anyone who tested positive for covid would have to leave the tour. Two people in our group, Judy and Katy started the tour visibly sick. Jordane did nothing despite what he said in his speech. Within a few days most people were sick. I caught a cold around day 8. On day 9, Jordan asked me to wear a mask. I wore a mask. On day 10, Jordane asked me to move to the back of the bus. I moved to the back of the bus. On day 11, Jordan called my room and told me that I was off the tour due to my cold and that I would have to find my own way home. Several passengers were obviously sick but Jordane did not remove them. He never asked me to get a covid test. He just kicked me off the bus somewhere in France with no help to get home. I immediately called the Gate 1 24 hour emergency assistance line. The line was answered with a recording, “We’re sorry, we are closed right now please call back during business hours.” Before you book with Gate 1, call this number on a weekend night and you’ll get the recording. Now if you are persistent or just desperate and wait on the line, eventually you will hear options. Wait through 8 options and the 9th is for help. I was transferred to a nice man in India who listened to my problem and then told me there was nothing he could do to help. I was dumped on the side of the road in France with no help. Who does this to someone? Gate 1 is the only one I know who would do this. I found Jordane and told him that I should be given the chance to take a covid test. Fortunately, a local Gate 1 guide joined our conversation. She thought this was a good idea and gave me directions to the nearest pharmacy and told me what to do to get tested. I tested negative for covid. I had a common cold, sniffles and cough. I showed the results of my test to everyone on the bus and Jordane. Jordane reluctantly allowed me back on the bus. That wasn’t the only issue we had with our guide. On our second night, my wife tripped and fell while crossing the street. My wife was unconscious and bleeding in the street. While my wife’s sister and I tended to my wife, her other sister called Jordane. He said he was busy and we should do whatever we wanted to. That was the last we heard from him. He never checked back to see how we were doing. The next time we saw him was in the morning when he asked if we would continue the tour. He never showed any concern. We were fortunate that two nurses saw the fall and helped us get my wife off the street and call the local version of 911. It was the help of strangers, not Gate 1 that took care of us. Gate 1 claims that Jordane called us several times to check on my wife. This is not true. Gate 1 claims that many people on the tour were tested for covid. Again, this is not true. We expected there would be support and help on our Gate 1 tour. We got nothing. We definitely didn’t expect to be dumped on the side of the road with no way home."
