    Anastasia was amazing. Very helpful and really kind. Made me feel super at ease and was there when I needed her. Once I arrived in Canada she made me feel really welcome and was so accommodating. I’m so glad that I got Anastasia to help me with my experience.

    I booked a two week trip to the Costa Rica animal rescue center in Alajuela Costa Rica through Global Work and Travel. It was so amazing and definitely worth it. I learned so much and gained so much life experience and gratitude for life on this trip! I am so glad I went through global work and travel as they made me feel safe and secure in my trip.

    Global Work and Travel has helped my dreams become a reality. I love that I was assignment a separate person for each stage of my journey (e.g. travel coordinator, arrival coordinator). Each person helping me on my journey from Global has been so friendly and helpful and has answered any question I had. I valued so much that they didn't throw everything at me all at once, and staggered each thing I needed to do, so I wasn't overwhelmed at the beginning.

    However, one thing I would say is at the very beginning of my journey, I would have benefited from being given a costs list, with a breakdown of each cost, for example (biometrics etc.), as I did slightly go in blind and not really understand al the expenses that would come my way. Overall, I would recommend to anyone Global Work and Travel and would definitely say that the fee for letting Global help you is so worth it in the end, as without them helping me each step of the way, I would not be where I am now.

For obvious reasons the departure was delayed a number of times, but continuous support was given by Julian ** and the XploreAsia team. I was assured that I should always ask for help whenever needed and I certainly took advantage of this. Despite the continuous hassles caused by the pandemic I arrived in Thailand safely.

    I wish I could personally thank everyone at the Global team who helped me achieve this once in a lifetime experience. But I have to give my special thanks to the team who helped me with my big leap - Tiarna, Jaz and Vedrana. I have had my eyes open to a whole new different way of life, learnt new things and skills that I’ll be taking back home with me, met amazing new friends, interesting different people and I’ve also fallen deeply in love during my time here. The confidence I have gained within myself is something I can’t express in words.

    I came from a small town where everything I needed was only minutes away, I knew everyone I saw and they knew me. I felt trapped, closed in, bored. There wasn’t a second thought when I started the process with Global and although I was upset and terrified to leave behind everything I knew and was comfortable with, I am so glad I did. I am so proud and happy of the person I have grown into. I couldn’t have done it without the help of the Global team and my family.

    The team are beyond amazing, they kept in contact with me from the first inquiry phone call and answered every question I had (and lots of questions that my mum had to ask!) Of course I was skeptical at first, I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into but I was constantly in touch with everyone from phone calls, to Skype calls or just emails keeping me up to date with everything. It soothed my worries straight away. I didn’t know where to start with getting a Tier 5 Youth Mobility Visa so having the team run through and tell me everything I needed to provide was a massive weight off my shoulders. They took care of all the stressful bits that come with organising life overseas, organising flights and transport from the airport to the hostel that they also arranged. They found me a job before I even left the country! Not once did I feel abandoned or left in the dark from the moment I left right up until even now, they still keep in contact with me.

    I have fallen deeply in love during my time here, I have met the most amazing man. He has opened his arms and heart to me and has shown me his country, his home. I wouldn’t have been able to meet him if it wasn’t for Global. I really could write all day about how this experience has changed me as I’m sure everyone else could too. But this is something you need to experience yourself, and I can guarantee you won’t regret it!! I am beyond please with Global, they have done such an amazing job. Everyone should be proud.

    Firstly, my sister and I found the staff very nice and friendly, overall. Unfortunately, a lot of things we had to figure out on our own. They advertised really well compared to what they actually offer and do for you. We got to Surfer's paradise and were put into a hostel (Budd's in Surfer's backpackers resort) that was very run down, and had to share a room with 4 people, that would smoke ** in our room. After 4 nights, we had not found a place to live as it was in the middle of a crazy week in Surfer's Paradise called ''Schoolies'' and there were absolutely no rooms/apartments to rent out. That said, we had to jump from one Airbnb to another for 2 weeks, until we finally found a place that was overly expensive.

    Global made it sound as though they would help us find a place but they only gave us a site: (**) where we got scammed and lost over $1000- Not the company's fault, just a kind warning to watch out for qualified scammers. :) We were offered very few and poor job opportunities, the same as all the other travelers we met. I have actually never written a review before, on anything, but felt compelled to let you all know how much money you could save up and visit awesome places in Australia, or wherever, instead of using it with this company. We met a lot of friends that were with global, and ALL of them, had the same negative feedback.

    All in all, both my sister and I lost approx. $4000 for this company, and had many stressful days in our early stage in Australia, which was disappointing, considering we intended to avoid those by going with the company in the first place. Like I said, the workers were very nice, but we believe they work for a company that is money hungry, more than client-focused.

    Hi Marieve,

    We're so sorry to hear that you feel this way about your recent experience with Global Work & Travel. As a premium service provider we want to ensure all of our travellers are having a great time on their trip so we are saddened to receive this feedback as it goes against our vision and purpose. After looking through your profile we would like to go over some of your concerns in more detail.

    We have to respectfully disagree with you in regards to our trips and what we advertise and offer. All of our travellers receive the same service and the same inclusions as what our website states. We absolutely do not advertise differently to what we offer.

    One aspect of your trip is to have a dedicated Trip Coordinator. I can see your Trip Coordinator was in constant communication with you before you arrived and when you were in Australia. She was there to answer any questions you had via email and organised a video call with you to ensure you were fully prepared for your arrival.

    Before you arrived in Australia you were presented with your job opportunity as a Kids Club Attendant in a resort on the Gold Coast. This was a Partner Organisation that we have worked with for many years and previous travellers have loved working there and made lifelong friends.

    Once you arrived in Australia, we set you up with your first 4 nights of accommodation at a hostel in Surfers Paradise. This is in a 4 bed dorm so you are able to instantly make other friends and have a social network. Many of our travellers travel solo, so being in a shared dorm is the perfect way to make connections with like minded people. If you didn’t want to stay in a dorm, then you would have been able to request a private room with your Trip Coordinator. We receive great feedback from our travellers about this hostel due to the vibe and atmosphere there. It is disappointing to hear someone was smoking in your room as this is definitely not appropriate and we are hoping you brought this up with the reception staff.

    Unfortunately there was a slight delay in our Partner Organisation confirming your start date, this can happen from time to time as they are a real employer and unexpected things can pop up. We understand your frustration with this, however they did get back to you 3 days after you arrived with a confirmed start date.

    This role was on a casual basis but during the summer months you should get adequate hours to support yourself. You did express concerns about the hours so we organised another job opportunity for you based in another location of Australia but you wanted to stay on the Gold Coast. Throughout this time, your Trip Coordinator continued to stay in touch with you and assisted you with anything you needed.

    The time of the year that you arrived can be busy, hostels and rentals can fill up fast. Your Trip Coordinator is here to give you advice on finding somewhere permanent to live, however it is up to you to go do the viewings yourself as you want to ensure it is a place you want to live. We are glad that you were able to find an AirBnB to stay in.

    In January, you reached out to your Trip Coordinator as unfortunately your hours hadn’t picked up as much as you would have liked and you requested further assistance with another job interview. Two days later we had organised another interview for you here in Surfers Paradise at a restaurant. As you didn’t have much hospitality experience, your Trip Coordinator went above and beyond and got you both into the office to do some training with you on how to carry 3 plates and prepared you for your interview. You had your interview and were successful in getting a trial, however you didn’t turn up for your trial shift and your Trip Coordinator was not able to get a hold of you. This could have been a great opportunity for you both to learn new skills and start earning money.

    After this, we still continued to try and assist you with job interviews. Unfortunately due to the horrific bushfires at the start of the year and COVID hitting in March there were very limited Partner Organisations hiring, which was completely out of our control. We do ask all travellers to be open minded to locations, however you both only wanted to stay on the Gold Coast which made it even more difficult to organise something further.

    Throughout the start of the pandemic, your Trip Coordinator continued to stay in contact with you frequently and sent you through job links. We even offered to swap you over to our Au Pair Trip, however you decided it was time to go home.

    We are a little bit confused by your 1 star review as after you returned home, you sent through a very positive email to your Trip Coordinator thanking her for all of her help and that you were very grateful for all of the assistance.

    Again, we truly are sorry if your trip didn’t live up to your expectations, if you would like to discuss this matter further please don't hesitate to get in touch with feedback@globalworkandtravel.com.

    I couldn't recommend booking a working holiday or travel experience through Global Work & Travel enough! From the moment I enquired about my trip to finding a family to booking my flights, my experience with Global and their friendly, supportive and super helpful staff has been amazing! It's taken so much stress and anxiety out of trying to plan a trip to somewhere you've never been and in the middle of a pandemic! I can't thank the team that helped me along the way enough, especially Ashley my Travel Concierge, who always took the time to triple check everything and answer all the questions I had even if they seemed small or silly!

Over the last 18 months, I have had constant contact with my travel agent - even through the covid-19 outbreak, I made the decision to stay in Alberta, and it was the best decision I ever did. While my friends went back to Australia, I decided to stay and wait it out. If you haven't already, I would recommend a summer in beautiful Banff, and enjoy the slopes in winter. I have already decided to go my UK visa through these guys again. They made it so easy and seamless. I had a job lined up before I even was on my plane to Canada.

I feel like I've been taken advantage of to make a big profit and now quite frankly I don't trust them. I can't get a refund either because they lock you into a lifetime guarantee, which I feel is unfair given the circumstances.

    PLEASE READ MY STORY BEFORE WASTING 1800$ WITH THEM! Shelby **, if you read this: I ask you for a full refund, here’s why: It all started in January 2019, one year before my adventure in Australia, when I called Global Work & Travel co. for information concerning the price of their service. Their salespersons are the best at their job, and managed to sell me their service making me believe I made a ‘’good deal’’ after offering me a surf lesson for free (when I got there, not one person in the entire group didn’t have one). They also managed to get me to book the flight with them, telling me that if I didn’t I wouldn’t arrive with other people from the group, and I could miss the ‘’Orientation day’’. Kind of a threat, don’t you think? No need to say I was alone at the airport when I arrived.

    Having a background in the tourism industry (academically and professionally), the salespersons assured me they would find me a job in this sector, being one of the most important one in Australia. I was thrilled, but I should've known it was a big fat lie. Because I booked a year prior to my departure, the sales team guaranteed me I was placed at the top of their priorities to find me a job weeks, even months before my departure (it’s one of their arguments to get you to pay this much in advance). They planned multiple Skype meeting with me to discuss my job preferences, where I got the chance to remind them I wanted a job in the tourism industry like they promised. I rapidly understood I had been lied to when the coordinator explained to me they barely had any job offers from their partners in this area. Great.

    I reduced simultaneously my expectations, and asked for two small favors: I didn’t want a job in sales, particularly in malls, and I didn’t want to work with kids. You see where this is going. Not only did they offer me a job interview only 2 DAYS before my departure, which made it impossible for them to find me another proposition if I declined this one, they offered me the worst job they could’ve possibly found offer me: ‘’Promotion agent’’ (pressure selling) in a children’s photography company.

    In the email with the job offer, here is what they kindly remind you:’ "If you decline this opportunity, it may take time to organise another for you and it may not happen until after you’ve arrived. Now that you have been presented with your opportunity, our accommodation extension guarantee no longer applies.’" At that moment, I understood I had been scammed.

    I immediately called to decline the offer. Three days later, I was at the ‘’Orientation day’’, where I met 10 other people who had been scammed like me. Together, we realised that the same job opportunity had been given to EACH ONE of us. One of them wanted to work in a bar, the other one in a farm (I mean, how hard can it be to find someone a farm job in Australia?!), but they all got the ‘’Promotion agent’’ job opportunity, or worst, NOTHING.

    Some of them cried, one of them flew back home. One thing is sure: NONE OF THEM GOT A JOB THROUGH GLOBAL WORK AND TRAVEL CO. Four people initially accepted the same job offer, did two trials for the job, and ended up being told they weren’t fit for the job. The coordinator kindly offered us to help us with our resume, a great way to tell us: thanks for your money, now good luck! SO PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON GLOBAL! It is the worst scam you could possibly find!

    Hello Catherine,

    We are sorry that you’ve had this negative experience through Global Work & Travel. It is our mission to provide each and every one of our travellers with incredible travel experiences. It is regrettable that in this case, we were unable to match our usual standards.

    You arrived in Australia at a very challenging time for the country, when Australia was being ravaged by unprecedented bushfires. This caused many of our usual Partner Organisations to stop hiring at their usual pace. Then, the Coronavirus Pandemic was growing which was another set back for Australia’s tourism industries (and currently still has the country paralysed). We would’ve loved to have been able to provide you with a Job Opportunity in your first preferences.

    We reached out to you by email in February to discuss a refund but were unable to get hold of you, and never heard back. Today the team has sent you another email.

    My partner and I just recently returned from our trip to Thailand to volunteer with elephants and were shocked and disappointed with the experience we had with Global Work and Travel Co. If you're considering the elephant park experience in Thailand, it is an amazing organization and program but I suggest you book directly with Elephant Nature Park at ** as this is the company you will work for and the cost is significantly less to book directly with them. They are more organized and you will receive more information if you book directly.

    We were badgered into booking and not told of the actual company we were volunteering with until after we paid. After we had booked we received little information, switched co-ordinators 3 times and they were not able to help us at all. They said they could organize travel insurance but the company they recommended didn't even cover working with elephants! When we informed them they said they were unaware of this and that we would have to find our own insurance as they could not insure us with any other company. Terrifying to think we could have just taken their word and booked it and been uninsured for the work we were doing.

    After we arrived in Thailand we discovered they hadn't organize our airport pick up OR the hotel on the first night as we were promised and we still have not received our refund for the hotel a full month after we spent the money. We paid more than double what everyone else had paid for the same experience as other volunteers. The additional cost was supposed to go to airport shuttles, two hotel nights, assistance with insurance and flight bookings. We paid our own taxi and were not refunded, to date only one of the two nights in the hotel has been paid for by GWT Co. and we had to organize our own insurance. This company is so disorganized and useless. Save money and time and book yourself!!!!

    I engaged with Global Work & Travel Co for a working holiday - there was a $695 deposit to be paid initially with the total payment due being $1895. I was told that the remainder could be paid prior to getting work confirmed & accommodation booked overseas. I was assigned an organiser in terms of facilitating the working holiday. Without having booked flights or organising the holiday, I realised that I needed to postpone my intended trip & advised them of this.

    During my dealings with my organiser they constantly insisted, following the payment of my deposit, that I set up a direct debit to continue to pay installations of whatever I could afford ($50, $100, $150 etc.) until the $1,895 was fully paid & that I would then have the service paid for whenever I was ready to continue with the working holiday. What they didn't tell me was that, should you wish to cancel the service, of course the deposit is NON-REFUNDABLE, but that you are ONLY entitled to get 50% of anything else that you have paid. So out of almost $2000 paid (which was encouraged by the organiser), I was only entitled to receive $650 refund.

    Bear in mind, that at this stage they had YET to actually do ANYTHING on my file because I was so unsure of when I could actually commit to the trip. The flights weren't booked, the working holiday was not organised, nothing was done. When I queried this with them, they said there were '28 activities' involved but refused to tell me what those 28 activities consisted of. It's unfortunate that I was so short-sighted in choosing Global Work & Travel Co. for this service.

    We appreciate you taking the time to voice your feedback and opinion. Genuine feedback helps us improve our services and future experiences for all customers.

    It is very unfortunate that you had this experience with our company and consequently feel negatively about us. When you made your booking, there is a lot of things that happen behind the scenes, even if you didn't see anything tangible come out the other end. We make sure that we hire the best people to ensure our operations run smoothly, and those people don't work for free (as I'm sure you wouldn't either).

    We need to charge cancellation fees as when a booking is made, a lot of expenses have been and can further be triggered behind the scenes to create, hold and service that booking both internally with us and through partners who may provide certain aspects of the trip that we may be required to contractually pre-commit to on a customer's behalf, even though they may not have travelled yet. As a service-based business, we cannot simply restock our store shelves like businesses that provide physical products can, like retail. As a service-based business, our primary cost to provide our trips is human time.

    During your cancellation process (and on your original sales call), you were made aware of our Lifetime Deposit Guarantee. Had you have taken us up on this opportunity, you could have placed your trip on hold until you were ready to go, transferred it to any of our other trips, or transferred your trip payment to someone else who is ready to travel. If you were to change your mind, or have personal extenuating circumstances affect your trip with the majority of other services in the travel industry you would not receive this as an option.

    Global Work and Travel, although very pleasant and relatively helpful, I did sometimes feel they were just after money. Once I paid money I didn’t hear anything from them for quite a while so I was worried it was a scam. However it’s not a scam and I am living in Vietnam now and loving every minute. I think they need to be more specific with what each payment is for as I wasn’t really sure what I was paying for! They also said that if I paid my money before a certain date I get a £100 voucher for activities and excursions. I did pay my money before this date (and more) but almost 5 months into my trip and I still haven’t heard anything about that. Despite all this though, everyone I spoke to was very friendly and I especially want to thank Dylan who was my trip co-ordinator.

    Arrived in Australia three days ago, so far Global Work and Travel has been really helpful with setting up everything you need to get started on working in Australia. Although I haven't landed a job yet, they were very quick to find me a job interview/ job opportunity in a very nice location down in Melbourne. Throughout the entire process the GWAT team has always been very punctual and the communication has been on point.

    Since arriving in Australia for my working holiday I have been welcomed with open arms by the Global family. In the days prior to my departure from the UK my wonderful arrival coordinator Ashleigh was on the ball with helpful information to ensure my arrival went smoothly and helped ease my many, many worries (stress head alert haha).

    I had my orientation at Global's beautiful Gold Coast headquarters the day after I arrived and had a lovely warm welcome and was made to feel at home. I got to meet Ashleigh in person and she helped me set up my sim card, tax number and gave me loads of helpful information along with vouchers to do the exciting activities at a time that suits me. I had my first job opportunity presented to me a week or so before leaving the UK and had my interview the day after arrival. While this was not the job for me, it was good to know there was potentially something for when I arrived.

    While waiting for my next job opportunity Ashleigh has kept in touch and made sure I was up to date with everything as obviously it can take some time to hear back from partners. In the meantime I have been able to do the things I love including cuddling a koala, feeding kangaroos and even scuba diving! I email Ash most days and she is always thrilled to hear about my adventures and happy to help in any way.

    I have since received my next job opportunity so fingers crossed! I know that Global have got my back and Ash (or anyone else for that matter) is just a phone call away if I have any worries at all. My advice to anyone considering working holiday (whether with Global or anyone else) is definitely to make sure you have plenty of money to do everything you want to do until you get a job because we never know how long it can take and it's much more fun to go out and do crazy things than sit in a hostel worrying about money.

    All in all my experience has been super positive so far and I am sure it will continue. Trust me when I say I was skeptical at first (because hey, who isn't) and it seems like a lot of money to do something you could probably do cheaper yourself. However, when I consider all the support I have received (and will continue to receive) along with the peace of mind travelling through Global has given me I would definitely recommend it to anyone, especially if it is your first big adventure. Hopefully this helps someone! :-)

    Global has the potential to be a fantastic company that could be used by many and still have a good reputation, but unfortunately it’s not there yet. All of the coordinators I’ve had on my journey so far have been fantastic, they’ve all been incredibly sweet and understanding and I genuinely like them all. Although they’re great human beings they’re being held back by a company who doesn’t have the best interest in their clients and are very money motivated. Every single traveller I’ve met on my trip so far that travelled through Global regrets it. We all admit Global paved some of the way so we didn’t have to worry but it’ll all things with a little bit of research we could’ve done on our own without spending a ridiculous amount of money. We found the same flight Global told us to get except when we found it on our own it was almost $600 less than the itinerary Global gave us.

    Global really does have potential but the management is not focusing on the things that make company’s great, reliable and trustworthy. Your employees deserve more than what you’re giving them and you should allow them to actually be able to help instead of shutting a situation down with useless automated answers. I understand it can get overwhelming, busy and stressful for your employees but there are many people out of jobs, so you can just hire more and share the workload with the amount of people that pay you guys constantly. Overall, I’m impressed with the people I’ve worked with so far, they are quite lovely but Global as a whole needs to step up.

    Cannot stress enough how much to avoid this company, extremely pushy and manipulative sales people who won’t let you think about it and push you into paying while on the phone to them. Once you have paid and think about what you’ve actually just done and see all the negative reviews change your mind you never hear from that sales person again and get punted from person to person. They can not justify their extortionate charges for what is effectively an international job centre service.

    Complete and utter joke of an organisation - very angry, I easily lost around £900 in the space of a 30 minute phone call with them (they only refunded me around £400). Don’t see how they can justify £900 for a few manipulative phone calls and an odd email, in my mind I feel scammed. I also spoke to someone currently out on a trip with them on Instagram and they warned me not to go with them and she had had zero support of what was initially promised for her - this was another reason that prompted me to change my mind almost the second I got off the phone to them, but was told I couldn’t -.

    Hi Danni,

    Our services are designed to save our customers lots of money, time and stress, and our 50,000+ customer base and growing make us one of the most travelled gap year companies in the world. Our overall rating and reviews from real, past customers is testament to our excellent service so we're very saddened to receive this review and very sorry that you feel this way about your experience with us.

    You are correct that a trip deposit is generally non-refundable. This offsets costs in creating your booking in the first place and taking away a spot from another potential customer. We have some of the best staff in the industry and unfortunately, they don't like to work for free (as we're sure you wouldn't either). We do, however, make booking conditions known before anyone books with us, in fact, you would have been required to scroll to the bottom of our T&Cs first, before you were even able to agree to them and proceed. We then also have a few checkboxes as fail-safes, which you needed to agree to in order to book. There is no way to complete registration for one of our trips if you didn't scroll to the bottom of our T&Cs and then also manually tick the box agreeing to them and the separate box acknowledging that the deposit is non-refundable, "before" actually completing the booking (and we also email a copy straight after).

    The company was very quick to take my money from me, a deposit of $695.00. None of which they went through the terms and conditions with me when I signed up. I have recently been in contact with them, which they advised to me they have no record of my deposit in the system and is unable to follow up any emails about my 'trip'. But also advising me that the deposit is non-refundable, but no one told me this when I signed up; because I wouldn't of gone ahead with it otherwise. I am a fulltime student, struggling with funds, I wont be able to go on a working holiday, due to funds. This companies compassion towards this matter, they don't care.

    Overall I’m very happy with the experience I had with the Global Work and Travel co. My travel coordinator Mikayla, did a great job of supporting me and helping me find work before my arrival. She kept in touch regularly and checked up on how my interviews went and also followed up with the company I wanted to work at when I couldn’t get in touch with them.

    The only thing I found a bit difficult and would have liked to have been different was when I arrived in Vancouver. The itinerary that had been booked for me was 3 different flights which was really exhausting. I also had a lot of time between my arrival and starting work as I was told I needed to be there for the orientation on the 16th December even though I did not start work till the 6th January. The orientation although helpful only really gave me a background to Vancouver culture. The hostel I stayed at was not social at all and there were no other people from global staying there. This was the only thing I would improve as I was by myself and had a lot of time in the city alone.

    Hello,

    We are sorry that you feel this way about our company. This goes against our vision as a company. Your deposit offsets costs in creating your booking in the first place and takes away a spot from another potential customer. We make booking conditions known before you book with us, in fact, you were required to scroll to the bottom of our T&Cs first before you were able to agree to them and proceed. We then also have a few checkboxes as fail-safes, which you needed to agree to in order to book. You couldn't have completed registration for one of our trips if you didn't scroll to the bottom of our T&Cs and manually tick the box agreeing to them. As well as the separate box acknowledging that your deposit is non-refundable. We do also mention at the same time our Lifetime Deposit Guarantee (which other travel companies don't offer), so if something has come up and you can't travel now, you can in fact still use it at a later date or even transfer it to someone else instead.

    We do have charges to cancel bookings, but we make these very clear to you upfront before you choose to book with us. Each customer has to tick several boxes during the booking forms making it clear they have read and understood the conditions, that their deposit is non-refundable, that their trip doesn't include flights or travel insurance.

    Your deposit is still on hold with us and will be here for whenever you want to travel.

    I think Global Work and Travel made me take the jump to actually organise to go to Australia. They were very persuasive which was good because otherwise I would of never of come to Australia. However the price looking back now is very expensive for what you get. They were good for getting us to the hostel and great for helping you set up a bank account and tax etc. Any questions they do answer. But looking back I think I would of rather got a job before ourselves before we got to Australia. As the job global gave us is not what were after and didnt listen to what we wanted to do. Now it's a mad rush to sort one out before the 4 days are up. The people who work for global are lovely people but look for other ways before booking with them, that's just our opinion.
