Indian Pacific Sandra and Graeme, VIC, Australia, Jul 2024
We have just recently returned from our Indian Pacific journey. Overall it was a truly amazing experience - once in a lifetime . The stopover in Kalgoorlie was a little disappointing as the tour was at 9pm until midnight and because of this you didn't really get a good picture of the open cut mine, but I believe this is going to be changed next year. ...read more Our tour of Adelaide was enjoyable finishing up at the Oval for brunch .The tour of the Blue Mountains was breathtaking as we were fortunate enough to get a sunny clear day it was stunning. The food and beverages on board were faultless. The organisation of all off board excursions were like clockwork and everything flowed seamlessly. Booking with Global Journeys was very easy and professional. Last but not least, we cannot speak highly enough of the staff on board the train, nothing was a trouble and every task was carried out with a smile. All in all an amazing experience.

Trekking in Torres del Paine National Park Lindsey and Paula, VIC, Australia, Mar 2024
The trip with G Adventures was excellent - the team really looked after us. The trek itself was beautiful, but too short! I recommend if you have more time, to take a few extra days to fully enjoy the park. The food and accommodation provided fully met our expectations. The team leading the hike were professional, fun and solved any problem we had. ...read more As for Global Journeys, our coordinator Hannah was outstanding.
