Mar 04,2017This was our second holiday in Kerala organised by Globe Travel and each time we stayed for a month in Gods Own Country, which is a very appropriate description of this wonderful land. We also visited Karnataka with them the first time. From our very first conversation with Rajesh we felt confident in his ability to give us exactly the holiday we wanted and Pat is good, friendly back up nearer to home. This year we had to change the itinerary a number of times due to health problems of my partner. I constantly apologised to Rajesh but with the innate courtesy of the Keralans he brushed them aside. We requested the driver that we had last year and there he was at the airport to greet us. Roopesh is an excellent driver, guide and has become a friend and infinitely enriched our experience. Rajesh had put together a great itinerary but you are encouraged to add in anything of interest, or that your driver may suggest as you go. Our first visit to Kerala was with a UK based, very expensive company. They do not encourage free extras but use the same high quality accommodation etc as Globe. The latter however have a much better knowledge of homestays and we prefer those to hotels. The best recommendation I can give is that having arrived home less than twelve hours ago we are already planning both a Nov/Dec and a Jan/Feb return. Booked of course through Globe!

Mar 03,2017Charly Jacob from Globe travel listened my needs and requirements and put together a wonderful itinery for a family of 3! The hotels were wonderful and there was just enough travelling between each resort! The travel agent Swapna was just amazing too and was most helpful.

Feb 22,2017We booked a trip to Kerala and Tamil Nadu through Global. The service was excellent, the drivers and guides were great - all spoke English well and were very knowledgable - and the hotels were of a good standard. I'd be very happy to use them again.

Feb 12,2017The Globe Travel itinerary that Charlie put together was perfect. At every stage of the holiday we were met by Globe Travel staff and any travel worries in Kerala were totally eased. The hotels/home-stays were all of a very high standard and clean but the jewel in the crown had to be The Tranquil Plantation. The situation, the hospitality and the food were of the highest standard and we are so grateful to Ajay and his family for the experience. A special mention should go to our drivers especially Syrus and Joy who looked after us so professionally. For older people travelling to India I would like to emphasise how well we were helped throughout our stay. And Kerala lived up to its name as God's own country. Thoroughly recommended.

Jan 05,2017We had a superb holiday in Kerala. From booking to returning home, the trip was well organised and all staff involved were friendly and helpful. our accommodation was varied and interesting from homestays to houseboats and we enjoyed the culture, environment and food that we experienced. We enjoyed a two week tour covering many areas of Kerala and we were met with hospitality everywhere we went. We would recommend Kerala as a place to visit and recommend Globe Travel without hesitation. I hope we can use them again in the future.

Nov 29,2016We had been talking about visiting India for some time and when I found Globe Travel Centre we decided to book a tour of Kerala. From the moment I booked it to the moment we returned home from the trip everything was first class. Rajesh who booked the whole trip for us was excellent and we had long email conversations to ensure that every aspect of our holiday was perfect. We stayed two nights in Kochin followed by two nights in a homestay in Kothamangalam then two nights in hotels at Munnar, Thekkady & Kumarakom. Next we had two fantastic days and nights on the backwaters in a Houseboat & finished of with two night at a beach hotel before flying back to the UK. Thanks to Globe Travel everything went like clockwork and they were there every step of the way to insure we had a great time. From meeting us at Cochin airport at 4 in the morning until their representative saw as into security at the same airport two weeks later for our flight home. The driver they provided us with was Pankaj he was so helpful, informative and nothing was too much trouble for him to ensure we had a truly great time. He really made our holiday something special as well as being good company. I cannot recommend Globe Travel Centre enough they were fantastic.

Nov 23,2016This year was the third time Globe had organised our holiday, and the second time we had asked them to send us somewhere they don't normally go. Last yer it was Cambodia, this year Laos, both times including a short stay in Vietnam. We could not fault the drivers, guides, hotels they recommended or activities they organised. (Two oldies can pose a bit of a challenge, but Pat listened to what we wanted and organised everything accordingly.) We felt that their prices were modest compared with some of the other tour operators who deal in bespoke travel but there was no compromise on quality. Now looking for somewhere else strange for next year!

Nov 01,2016We had a great trip to South India in October 2016. Globe arranged the hotels, internal flights and drivers. Their attention to detail both before and after the trip was first class and made us feel very supported and comfortable. I have no hesitation in recommending them to travellers going to India. Their local knowledge and skilled staff will make all the difference to their holiday experience.

Everyone we interacted with, whether it was the team at the UK office or the team in the India office, were extremely helpful and courteous! Remarkable service!!! Exceptional travel company. We would love to travel with them again!!!

Oct 01,2016From the first contact with Charly Jacob at Globe Travel Centre, we were impressed with his quiet, professional, and friendly advice. He provided us with a tailor made itinerary covering Mumbai, Ooty, Mysore and ending at Coconut Lagoon and Marari Beach in Kerala. We had excellent drivers and guides who enhanced our many experiences. Due to some local problems between the inhabitants of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka there were some minor changes to our itinerary - but at all times we were kept informed by Globe Travel Centre, and they had a back-up plan ready to put in place if it was needed. We felt that we were in safe hands at all times. We have no hesitation in recommending Globe Travel Centre to anyone considering a journey in India, and we are already planning another Indian adventure.

Sep 21,2016Kerala Travel Centre organised a two and a half week holiday for us covering both South and North Kerala, and it has been by far the best organised holiday we have been on. We covered Cochin, the backwaters, Munnar, Periyar and then Tellicherry and Waynad. Though the itinerary we wanted was rather complicated, the Kerala expert had no trouble putting it together in a way that gave us the chance to explore each of the destinations without it being rushed at any point. We loved the cookery experiences that were specially organised for us. We enjoyed everything; the food, the picturesque drives, the interactions with people. Kerala is truly magical and we will definitely be returning. We have no hesitation in recommending Globe Travel Centre to anyone planning a holiday to Kerala.

Aug 30,2016We could not fault this organised tour of India. Our allocated driver was excellent - very helpful, good knowledge, good conversation and immaculately on-time. The hotels/lodges that we stayed in were superb. The service altogether fantastic and the food truly awesome. Definitely at least worth 5 stars.

Aug 23,2016India had been on our travel list for many years now and Globe Travel delivered a holiday that will stay with us for the rest of our lives. We will remember every single day of the holiday as every day was a new experience. Our travel itinerary had everything we wanted and took into account what we like on holidays. It was perfectly designed to have the right balance of excursions and relaxation. On our wedding anniversary, which fell on a day when we were on tour in Rajasthan, the company hosted a surprise candle lit dinner in an exotic palace; an experience we will never forget. India is an amazing country and we have Globe Travel Centre to thank for making it so special for us. Highly highly recommended.

Mar 04,2017We were two couples all in our 70's Globe Travel arranged for us to go by train from Goa to Kerala. Three nights in a hotel and three nights on a Rice Boat. Everything went brilliantly we were met at the train station on time, we were picked up on time. We felt really comfortable and well looked after. Thank you Globe Travel your staff were excellent from booking in the UK to your wonderful lady in Kerala. Trip of a life time.
