Global Work & Travel Reviews

Taylor helped me and introduced me to the Global Work and Travel team. She was very lovely and helpful. I would highly recommend booking your next trip with them. They help you with every step which take a lot out of your hand.

Great customer service and very easy to get in touch with. Took all the pressure off everything and made the process of booking everything much more enjoyable. The motivating nature of every phone call made the experience even more exciting.

I cannot stress heavily enough how awful this company is. They claim to be a middleman to make the process of obtaining a working holiday visa and finding work in your country of choice easier, which they absolutely do not do. Before they will even start helping you with anything they require over a thousand pounds. After paying this, you are no closer to obtaining the working holiday visa. What do you get for the money? A few links emailed to you from which you fill out all the paperwork yourself. A thousand pounds. They will then try to scare you into only getting insurance and flights through them, at twice the usual cost.

Global Work and Travel is pushy over the phone and don't cover all policy with you until you've already made a purchase. I booked a trip before covid and they canceled it on me but refused to provided a refund to protect their own profits instead of helping out me and people like me who were in the thick of a pandemic. To this day I have not been given a refund for $3400 I spent. They offer a less than 50% refund and cite the policy they never even cover with you. It's absolute bull. Never trust companies like this one. They don't care about you.

I began my journey with Global Work and Travel in September of 2022. I had paid a total of 3500 dollars for medical forms(500) initial deposit (1600), visa payments (500) insurance (900) not including flights. I kept trying to contact about booking flights in September- Initial quote was 1500 return. Global work and travel never got back to me to pay for my flights. It is now a month before I am meant to be flying out and I have been quoted 4000 dollars flights Au to New York! What a ripoff. Won’t be going as I’m not paying 7000 for a working trip where I am getting paid 2800 American which is 4000 Australian. Working 12 hour days five days a week for three months. I’m practically working for free as my initial deposit is in my contract as paid wages. This company has been sued by the Queensland government before in 2016. I wish I had not been ignorant of this.

Updated on 11/29/2022: I filed a BBB claim against their questionable practices. They said they will not refund the $247 they took from my account without authorization. Apparently it costs them $247 to take $247 from me. Please don’t get scammed like I did.

Travelling overseas for the first time was scary but having Maria to help with every step made it super simple. Anything I needed she was able to help me within a timely manner! Very happy with my experience using Global Work & Travel.

Global Work & Travel have done a great job of organising my trip to Canada for the 2022/23 ski season, the experience has definitely made life easier, and having that extra layer of security is added peace of mind. Maria was my arrivals coordinator and she was really nice and helpful, always going the extra step to ensuring I was up to date with what was coming up. I had access to plenty of resources to review so I could find the ideal location to be based, also suggestions and advice from someone based in CA. Super happy with my arrival into Canada, as well as the job that we managed to find. After my experience I would recommend Global to anyone that wants to travel but is a bit unsure about a lot of the logistics. Everything that is available and the people helping you out definitely made the experience a whole lot better.

Maria and the Global Work & Travel team were great! Very welcoming and comforting to know friendly faces we can contact in the country! Maria specifically has been a great help in organising our trip as well as being easy to contact with straightforward information and answers to our questions.

Global were very helpful throughout the moving process. Eimear constantly kept in touch and has been continually checking in to see if there is anything she can help with. Any questions I had or request for recommendations were quickly tended to. Global Work and Travel covered everything involved in moving and were able to give clear instructions about getting to Canada.

The team at Global made organizing my Canada trip an absolutely breeze! Took away so many headaches, consistently assisted with any questions and took a lot of stress off my shoulders before and since arriving in Canada.

Very responsive on questions and concerns, very helpful with local insights. Gives me comfort knowing they have my back when I'm travelling solo and I can rely on them for help when/if needed. Good on you Global Work and Travel.

Maria ** in particular from Global Work and Travel has been awesome. She’s helped me and my girlfriend with any issues and gone above and beyond. So very grateful. Allowing the most amazing memories to be made in Canada. From organising and setting me up properly when I first arrived. To organise a job with all my friends in the snow.

Eimear my arrival coordinator has been amazing throughout my process to begin my journey to Canada making me feel at ease about any stresses I had in the moving process. Eimear was very welcoming and friendly on my arrival to Canada for orientation. Eimear continues to be a great help answering any questions I may have throughout my stay. It is really nice having Eimear as an arrival coordinator as she is such a friendly person but also we have the connection of both being Irish.

Julie-Ann has been by my side through this whole process & made this experience as an AU Pair absolutely amazing. She has been so accommodating & helped me through any challenges I have had to overcome in Italy. I would recommend Global Work & Travel to anyone who is looking for an opportunity to travel the world, make friends & have the whole process be stress free!

I was interested in one of their trips to Japan for language learning through Global Work & Travel, and thought that the experience would be right up my alley as I have been interested in traveling to Japan as well as learning the language more than I have by simply studying on my own. The experience I've had with the customer service from the travel coordinator I was assigned has been exemplary so far. Very detailed and thorough with helping me finalize the necessary documentation, as well as to just chat about the trip and share resources for things to do once there and our shared interest in the travel destination! Extremely easy to talk to and quick to respond to any questions I may have as well as looking into more details on their end to get back to me if my query isn't a common one.

I used Global Work & Travel to become an au pair in Paris and it was a great experience. Everyone who works there is kind and accommodating, especially my au pair coordinator, Julie-Anne. I had some trouble with getting my visa on time and Julie-Anne was able to assure me that everything was going to be okay and that I would still be able to go to France even if I was a bit late. She listened to me and was very helpful with explaining what to do. I would definitely use Global Work & Travel again!

Global were of the utmost assistant upon me deciding to embark upon my Canadian Working Holiday Visa. Their experienced advisors put me at ease from the start by answering any queries I had. They've been there after I landed in Canada and went to my destinations during winter and summer and have always been good in getting back to me with any questions I've had so far while abroad. The Getaways inclusion which is new this year is also superb as it meant I got to see Vegas and the Grand Canyon which was an experience to say the least.

I signed up with Global in April 2022 for a working holiday trip to Canada. Along the way, I was assigned Maria as my arrival coordinator, and we have been in frequent contact since, organising my trip for the past few months. Maria is an enthusiastic and friendly person who helped make the whole process much easier for me. She provided me with a range of information and suggestions about things I should do and see in Canada. Maria helped secure me a job on the mountain with Sunshine Village in Banff, with staff accommodation, which I am very grateful for. I am loving my trip so far and am excited for the future. It has been a pleasure working with Maria and I definitely recommend her! :)

I am a first time traveller internationally and was seeking to move and work in Canada which is where I stumbled across Global Work and Travel and I couldn’t have done the jump as smoothly had I tried to do this on my own. All the staff at global are responsive and organised to the point where it eliminates any stress in the planning process. Global covers all facets of the journey in assisting in information on the visa process, flights, resumes, employment guidance and any fun activities in between. I couldn’t recommend enough! For my personal travels Having a Vancouver office is extremely handy for when you need any guidance or assistance along the way if you seek it (shout out to Eimear at vancouver HQ for being so responsive and accommodating).

It's nice having the peace of mind a coordinator with my journey in Canada. My coordinator Maria has been great introducing me to Canada and all the differences in culture. I've already met tons of new people from Australia, Europe & all around the world.

Planning to move your life overseas is very stressful, however with the help from my Trip coordinator Julie Anne I was supported throughout the whole experience. I was provided with guidance and support at any hour of the day which made the overall experience stress free.

I came to Canada with the help of Global Work & Travel Agency. They are helping me make my dreams and goals come true. They made the application process and the whole moving process a lot easier and made me feel safe in a foreign country, thousands of miles away from home. I can rely on my coordinator Eimear, who has been helping in any way she knows and can, gives me advice and is my rock! Couldn't do it without her. :) Absolutely would go with them all over again!

My travel coordinator, Tiare, has been so helpful and kind throughout this experience. She has answered all the little questions and queries I've asked and really made us feel welcomed and valid. She has been there to help 100% from the start.

Do NOT arrange your working or volunteer trip with Global Work and Travel. They charge huge amounts of money for NOTHING. $1800- for promises that never materialize. $1800- for 4 nights in a hostel that you can book yourself for $20.00 per night!! They promise to help set up jobs, assist with visa processing. NOT TRUE. They were not even aware of the cost of a working NZ visa. Was told 280- and was actually 455-. Only contact was from sales person looking to sell flights and over priced travel insurance. They insist on full payment up front, claim to have a generous cancellation policy, but when trying to get a response regarding cancellation, we were stalled until it was too late to receive even 50% of the money back. My daughter saved for 18 months only to lose $1800-. It is NOTHING but a hard sell travel agency. DO not fall victim to their pushy sales tactics. They offer NOTHING for your money.

I had loads of help from Global Work and Travel and they made my first solo trip come true which was amazing. There is a few downfalls Though. I feel like I didn’t get enough information about the place I was visiting. I got told that 800 pounds wouldn’t have been enough for my flight there and back so did that myself and got flights for my budget. They did take a lot of the stress away like when you paid for everything they sort the Insurance out which help take stress away from me. They didn’t contact me as much as I would have liked especially throughout Covid as I’d already paid for most of everything and I would have to contact them. My travel Coordinator got changed three times so found it hard to email and get in touch with someone that could help. I did have an amazing time though and I’m definitely want to return there.

The whole process was better than ever, I had the help I needed and when I had a question they gave me an answer, 10/10. I'm very happy with the service and glad they didn’t miss a beat. Can’t wait for my trip!

Tiare at Global was fantastic throughout the entire of process of my move to Canada. From filling out forms to answering every question I had, she was always on hand to assist. The transition to adjusting to life in Canada has been made so easy and stress-free by the guys at GWT and I couldn't recommend them enough! Thanks guys!

Nichola, my trip coordinator has been absolutely amazing and helped me with questions every step of the way. She made the whole process so incredibly easy and everything lined up with what she'd said once I arrived. Three days into my 4 weeks studying and I am having the best time. Would absolutely recommend giving it a go, such a wonderful way to travel!
