This prof is at the head of his class in Europe, Middle East tours. I've bumped into some of his repeat clients, and they always offer rave reviews - praising his hotel and restaurant selections, his tour pace and his easy manner of slipping into the history and literature associated with the places. His clients feel like travelers instead of tourists.

Jean D. Hansford, Senior Campus Planner, Ohio State University
"Interesting Places! Great accommodations! A real variety of experiences! Wonderful food and libations! Bright and personable travel companions! The opportunity to meet and know the people of Greece! These are the reasons I keep coming back to Globe."

Norma Murphy, Beaumont, Texas
"If one is interested in becoming a "traveler" instead of a "tourist," I recommend he sign up for a tour with Globe Tours and have an unforgettable time! The director plans each tour with such care that the traveler is educated and captivated at the same time. An added bonus is the reasonable cost."

Prof. Robert Wade, Capital University Law School
"It was a pleasure to work with you to set up our successful alumni trip to Greece. The hotels you selected were excellent, the food was out of this world, and your commentary about the history and significance of the Greek legal system was outstanding."

Jack Farady, V.P., John Hancock Insurance, Boston
"Thank you for arranging the exceptional trip to Egypt which our family took in March. The accommodations were excellent and the variety of activities over a two week period was truly remarkable."

Evelyn and Bob Mauck, Columbus
"We want to thank you for planning such a wonderful trip for our group of fourteen...Our three weeks in Greece and Turkey have been described by several couples as 'the best trip we ever took.'

The guides you chose for us were outstanding, and hotels were all first class, well located, and not too big -- in short, we would go back to any of them on a return trip.

The pace of the tour was beautifully thought out. We saw all the important sites and antiquities, yet had time to enjoy the sun, sea, and slow pace of the islands."

W. Thacher Longstreth, City Councilman, Philadelphia
"I've traveled extensively all over the world during and since World II, and never have I had more sheer fun, with lots of knowledge gained, than I did on your Globe Tour to Turkey."

Steve Betras, M.D., Columbus
"Your attention to detail and obvious familiarity with the logistics of travel, accommodations and above all the restaurants and their owners made this trip virtually free of stress or worry... You are obviously an American with the soul of the Greeks."

Su Kraegel, Kansas City
"If I used all the superlatives which come to mind when I think of our trip to Greece with you this summer, I would sound like a travel brochure... The best vacation we have ever had."

Dr. Maxene Doty, University of Maine
"Egypt, vast, exquisite, jasmine-scented, was enchanting. The trip was filled with magic, which, I know, reflected your knowledge and all the preparation that made everything go so smoothly and seem so effortless. ... Even as I write, I am beginning to pack for the next trip, back to Greece."

Lillian Messick, Philadelphia Museum of Art
"As we watch our videos and page through our photo album, we are stricken with a nearly overwhelming desire to hop the next flight to Istanbul. Turkey was all that you promised and more: a land dense with history and exquisite art, brimming with vistas of breathtaking beauty, and inhabited by the most extraordinarily kind people I have met anywhere."

Prof. Ralph Hunter, Hunter College, New York
"We shall always cherish the memory of all we saw and experienced on your Globe Tour of Greece. The group was just the right size and most congenial, and your knowledge of the logistics of travel as well as your familiarity with the places and people made for smooth sailing all the way."

The Rev. Jane P. Mykrantz, Columbus
"The trip was a special study for me to visit very early Christian and Byzantine church sites in mainland Greece as well as the traditional classic sites in Delphi, Olympia and Crete. I recommend Larry McElwee as guide/planner/organizer for your next trip abroad."

Martin Winkler, Bucknell University
"Your reasonable price played no small part in my ability to get students interested in the trip in the first place."

William Gillam, President, McElroy-Minister, Columbus
"Thank you for the personal touches that made the Classical Greek tour so enjoyable. In addition to your historical insights, your familiarity with the local neighborhoods, restaurants and shopkeepers made the experience a fun-filled vacation."

Dr. Glenn Philipps, Fountain Valley School, Colorado Springs
"And the tour itself -- the very comfortable bus and friendly driver, the exceptionally knowledgeable guide, and the itinerary to the archaeological sites -- was all that I had hoped. And finally, the day that you spent with us in Athens was a great delight. Your contacts opened doors that I never knew were there."
