Fantastic trip both land and cruise   3 , NSW, Australia, May 2019
My highlight of this tour was seeing many bears in Canada and for the cruise was stopping at Glacier Bay, so wonderful and unforgettable. I would travel with Travelmarvel again, everything went well, Natalie our tour guide was fantastic. We had only a few issues with the coach but that's okay because that town was beautiful so we didn't mind waiting ...read more for longer. The driver Darryl was fantastic, always stopped for us take photos of the bears.

Accommodations were good, only one hotel but it didn't let us down. It was a good time of the year to travel for it was not too cold just a good temperature. All travellers were good, we did get along with them. Last thing thanks to Jemma from Global Journeys for helping me with the online booking without her it would be difficult for me. She was so helpful and very quick to respond. Definitely will book with you again.
