What Our Traveller's Say...

"Karen Bowring and the team at Globe Travel have been doing my travel exclusively since the day they opened there doors back in 2005.  I mean I am the model client for them as obviously they love a challenge.  I always book late, never know exactly what I need and even when they have finally got me on a plane nine times out of ten I have to change my plans! Oh yes, and of course I need it to be a good deal. I know if they say it can't happen, then it can’t, when it comes to the world of travel. Karen you and your team are the very best in the game, thank you for the many years of service and I look forward to many more…"

"I love Karen Bowring and Globe Travel.  Being in the yachting industry means that I spend a lot of time travelling to Regatta’s, Yacht Shows and Superyacht Events. Karen has navigated my way through many airports to ensure that I have the easiest and most direct route no matter where my work takes me.  For over 12 years I have trusted Karen, I wouldn’t use anyone else."
Linda Berry - Director, Studio Linda Berry and Managing Director, Founder of The Superyacht Gathering 

"Over the past 8 years I have used Globe Travel to arrange all the travel needs for myself and teams I have been a part of. The reasons I have used Globe are for the outstanding service provided, especially in the sailing environment where the change in schedules happens more than ever. Karen and her team have always had the best interest in making travel as painless as possible and I can always rely on them to put together the best itinerary to all sorts of venues we have been to.  The level of service is fantastic and I will for sure be using Globe in the years to come."
David Duff - Managing Director, Doyle Sails

"I have been a client of Karen Bowring since she moved to New Zealand.  I have followed her from her previous travel agency to Globe Travel for many reasons.  We do a great deal of travel to the USA and Europe and often times the trips can be quite complicated due to many stopovers and number of people traveling, work related or personal.  Karen and the team at Globe Travel always get it right for us!  There have been a few occasions where flights have been cancelled due to volcanoes, weather or other situations and we always manage to be put on a flight with minimum delay or hassle.  The team is always friendly, honest, reliable and incredibly organized.   I highly recommend Karen and the team at Globe Travel for all your travel needs."

“Southern Spars has been assisted by the team at Globe Travel for several years and we’ve always found them to be very friendly, helpful and professional. We have been known to surprise them with a request to fly same day, giving them a challenging itinerary and they always manage to come up trumps! Personally, I really appreciate their skill and knowledge of airlines/airfares, this has been especially important when I’ve been overseas and needed to make urgent, last minute changes. Keep up the good work!”
Paul MacDonald - Founder & Superyacht Sales Manager, Southern Spars

"As a 'foundation client' of Globe Travel, it is with pleasure I write this testimonial. I was a client of Karen's in another life within the world of travel and had no hesitation in following her when she started her own business a number of years ago. Like many people who live a busy life, my travel arrangements are often spur of the moment decisions and often change where-ever I am in the world, so a 9 to 5 arrangement was never going to work for me. Karen and her team have always been available to book and re-book flights at sometimes ungodly hours and sort out the inevitable problems. The Globe Travel gang have become an important part of my life and I have absolutely no hesitation in giving them a 5 star recommendation. Long may they be around."
