We had a wonderful time, traveling with our closest friends. Slovenia and Croatia were absolutely beautiful. The food was excellent. And I enjoyed the ancient history that lives on today with modern life.

Everything from the beginning to the end of the Naxos 2023 trip was amazing. The first half of trip was so well organized with amazing activities and excursions, that I didn't even feel the need to plan anything other activity for the remainder of the trip except relaxing.LOL
I stayed in the penthouse room at the hotel and it was wonderful, as well as the helpful and attentive desk staff. Also, although the other Greek islands that we were able to visit on the itinerary and outside of the itinerary (Santorini) were great, I feel that Globe Drifters did a great job with selecting Naxos as the base of our stay-- it was such a gorgeous and "walkable" small city with lots to offer in their beaches, nightlife, souvenir shopping, and dining, yet it also has the benefit of being more calm and less crowded than the other more popular islands. Also, a special thanks to Jodie, who went above and beyond to make this trip as smooth and comfortable as possible during our time there, including continuing to help and guide us with organizing transportation and lodging for our extra island hopping (i.e., Santorini) and other plans outside of the itinerary. This was my first trip with the group, but it definitely won't be the last!

I've completed 3 trips with Globe Drifters. The first trip to Africa was an amazing 5 start trip completed pre-COVID. The other 2 were back-to-back tours Turkey and Morocco completed in May 2023 post-COVID. Based on my first trip I had high expectations for both Turkey and Morocco and I expected similar accommodations as my African trip. Those expectations were quickly shot down day 1 with our first hotel in Istanbul which was a run-down dirty dump. Unfortunately we were at this hotel for 4 nights total. I didn't think it could get any worse but I was wrong. The hotel in Pamukkale was so horrid that it made the Istanbul hotel seem like a 5 star resort.
The accommodations in Morocco were somewhat better but were still significantly below par and were lacking basic amenities. There was so much black mold on the floor of my shower in the hotel in Ait Ben Haddou, that even after 15 minutes of scrubbing with bleach, it wasn't clean. Luckily we were only at that hotel for 1 night and I could close the door and pretend it wasn't there. Overall this wasn't a good experience and I could never recommend this company.
