Global Work & Travel Reviews

The Global Work & Travel Co. are extremely helpful and welcoming the moment you start working with them. Upon arrival they make you feel extremely welcomed and safe. They are very organised and ensure that you are completely organised before you leave their office. I would highly recommend working with The Global Work & Travel Co. simply because of how organised and welcoming the company is. 10/10 for these guys! Special thanks to Jen from the Vancouver office for making me feel at home!

My experience with Global was amazing. They helped me a lot with everything I needed and understood my priorities and requirements. Alex my coordinator in the Canadian office was extremely helpful and made everything soo much easier. She calmed my nerves and made sure I was comfortable the entire way from the first phone call till I landed in Vancouver and I'm sure she will continue helping me further. Alex became a friend and it was nice to have a friend in Canada looking out for you.

I have had a wonderful experience with all the staff I have spoken to through Global Work & Co. Always very helpful, informative & friendly. Kirsty & Katy have been great help not only with organising my travels, work & living arrangements but also upon arrival. I would recommend using Global to anyone that is looking to move overseas.

Orientation was exactly what I needed. Made me feel more at ease with finding my way around London and excited about exploring the UK and Europe. Have heaps of support and feel very secure. Really happy with the service and staff are friendly and kind.

From the moment I signed up, The Global group were absolutely amazing. Helpful with any questions, any thoughts I had. They've helped me find the perfect job for me, in the career I want. So helpful about traveling, which let's be honest is why I'm over here. So many helpful hints, and so easy to do everything I needed, banks, tax information. They're absolutely amazing. They helped from the moment I signed up to getting me safely to my hostel when I landed. A long eight month process merely because of waiting and excitement to come. Only ever an email or phone call away. Thank you so much!

So far my experience has been nothing but hectic and headaches. Traveling to Brisbane, Australia, I thought, was going to be nothing but easy riding. However, between missing flights and having cancellations I've been running ragged and it's been a massive headache. That being said, I think Global Work and Travel Company has been a real help with everything and helping keep my peace of mind. They've got me somewhere to stay right off the plane and a job opportunity just a day after I landed. So overall I'm really grateful for their hard work.

I have had an amazing experience with Global. The team have been so helpful and knowledgeable explaining how to get around London and finding me work. They have kept in contact with me the whole time and kept me updated on work opportunities.

Arriving with this company was so helpful. Very informative and helpful. Friendly. Welcoming. I would recommend to any traveler who is a little unsure about coming to Australia alone because they put you at ease.

Trip to the UK - My experience was excellent. The orientation was very thorough and also very helpful with lots of little local tips and tricks given to help with public transport. Handy tours were also provided to help see all the sights tourists want to see.

Landing in London -- I loved knowing when I come here that I get help with absolutely everything and knowing that I won't get stuck or in trouble, or have a problem with everything. The staff will help even if you need direction.

My experience with Global Work and Travel Co has been very positive. The staff are helpful and friendly and answer any queries you have promptly. It has made the move so much easier knowing you are walking into a job when you arrive and you have people with a wealth of knowledge about the U.K to assist you.

I have arrived in the UK and am beginning to experience all the little quirks and perks of a true Londoner. This is definitely the beginning of a very fast paced lifestyle. Global has been very helpful and it is so comforting knowing I have this support here in the UK. Global are beginning to be a family away from home and are able to help with all amazing offers from work, accommodation to planning a European holiday. I know my time within the UK is going to amazing and I am excited to see what the future is going to hold as a part of the Global team. #GlobalWorkandTravel

My experience so far has been absolutely wonderful so far! I've only been in for a day, but the time I've spent has been effortless. Global has made my transition into Australia everything I hoped for and more.

The long story is underneath but the short version is this company is horrible awful. They ripped me off stole a bunch of my money and did not help me at all. I've now been on my working holiday for nine months with zero help from them. No job I've had or apartment I've stayed in has been provided by them. Just don't do it, man.

Alex was faultless with the help she gave me. Quick to reply to messages and emails and was always happy to assist with any of my needs. She was very knowledgeable and informative while being relatable at the same time.

I couldn't get a refund after I found out I couldn't do my trip. This was TWO DAYS after I booked, and I only paid the deposit. Why couldn't they just refund my money. This is abysmal. $700 of my money is now floating around in uncertainty because I definitely don't want to do anything with this company. If you cancel you lose it. If you got through with it you have to pay and additional $1300 and then everything else. You basically pay $2000 to these "people" and they do nothing to deserve it.

What a wonderful adventure so far; and I owe it all to The Global Work & Travel Co. With the constant assistance and guidance, I truly had no difficulties in my travels. As a plus, included airport transfer, 5 nights accommodation, and orientation prior to employment, I am more than confident to be where am I. I also have the confidence to not only travel to my new employment but also to explore the UK, and Europe. I am very thankful for all the positive staff; from the recruiting process, to the travel concierge, to the lovely working holiday staffing.

I am an Aussie working and traveling in Canada. The way Global works, is that you pay over $1000 upfront, just for their "services". After that, you're required to book EVERYTHING through them, like insurance, visa and flights, all of which is not included in the initial price. If you choose not to book your flights and insurance through Global they do not have to "help" find you a job or place to stay. I worked for an airline for 4 years and was more than happy to book my flights myself as I am very experienced in the industry. However I chose to allow Global to book my flights so that they would help me find a job. The flights were unnecessarily expensive and I could have booked much cheaper flights myself with the same amount of luggage and travel insurance.

Global have been fantastic with me. I had a few problems before arriving and Olivia stayed in touch with me throughout the whole time and arriving. Olivia has supported us in finding jobs and helping with directions and setting up everything. I couldn't recommend any other company more. Global have been fantastic.

I booked through Global in August and they have been absolutely fantastic with me. So helpful and supportive throughout. Had a horrendous experience travelling from England to Australia first time round due to fraud of a passport in early December. Global were so helpful and concerned of the horrendous time we had in China. Finally arrived in Australia on New Year's day 2017 and had job interviews within the first week of arriving. My coordinator has also been helping look for adventures that may interest me etc. Looking forward to more support throughout my working holiday from Global. Excellent way to make dreams come true with ease.

The staff have been extremely helpful and friendly. A lot of useful information on various parts of Australia, trips, cool things to do and places to visit has been helpful. I have already received a phone and help with arranging my tax code. Global Work & Travel have covered everything you would think of when relocating to another country. They have been super!

Global have given me the confidence to go ahead and do something I had been hesitant to do on my own. Their friendly and competent staff have been very helpful and informative and have guided me through the processes that I would have found difficult and off putting on my own.

The Global Work and Travel Co has been absolutely amazing! They've been so helpful at every turn and I always felt like everything was looked after for me so I didn't have to stress about the move from the second I signed up to the minute I touched down in London and beyond. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

The Global Work and Travel Company is a company that draws in people of all ages and says that they will guarantee work overseas which could be true to some extent, but they demand money upfront. My son was involved in a traumatic accident and at this moment is medically unfit to work or travel and has depression. When he received the call he couldn't believe his luck. Their main concern was if and when he could pay the initial deposit and then the monthly payments. They did not ask of any medical or criminal background. Yes maybe he should have disclosed this himself but he is suffering depression from the trauma. I asked in good faith if The Global Work & Travel Co. could refund his money as he has medical bills and is only on a Youth Allowance but SURPRISE SURPRISE I got NO RESPONSE AT ALL.

So this company is basically like your average bad relationship. They're nice and 'helpful' when originally signing up, but as soon as they get a hold of your hard earned dollars, it's like they don't exist anymore. I had originally signed up with The Global Work & Travel Co. back in February 2016 because I was dying to go to Australia, but was terrified to go without a security blanket in case one of those horror stories you hear came true. It all seemed too good to be true... that's because it was.

Kaitlin was very informative and professional. She informed me on all basis of living and working in Australia. She showed us that we have a solid support group and that we will always have someone willing to help us.

I paid $1600 for my Italian account and $3600 for my Thailand account. Flights were not included. I was young when I originally signed up for my Thailand account and was hustled into paying my $500 down deposit. Before leaving for Italy I was given the wrong directions to get my visa which made things stressful... that and getting me assigned with a family was the only service that was provided for me. It's difficult to keep in contact with this company especially since they go through employees like dirty underwear. BUT, if you have not paid the down deposit or full amount they make more of an effort to be accessible to 'you'.

Global has been a very helpful safety net for me as a traveler so far. It has been great to have someone there on the end of the phone at any time if you need and to be given all the information you need to get started. Lauren, Olivia and Daniel have been especially helpful to me especially.

My experience this far has been a positive one. I have been looked after and a job opportunity was presented days before I arrived. Which I unfortunately could not take. The company has still continued to help me with jobs though. Also the Hostel free stay has been a huge help and a good way to meet new people.

The orientation provided us all with everything we needed to know, setting up banks, our tax file number, accommodation etc. I came out feeling more confident about my working holiday.

I cannot stress enough how disappointed I was with Global Work & Travel. Not only do I think they need to be shut down, but the owners thrown in jail. Read the fine print! This is essentially a company that does nothing. You heard it, absolutely nothing, except take your money and run. I pretty much paid $1000.00 to be picked up from the airport in Gold Coast, Australia and have a one week stay in the worst imaginable hostel. There was no job offer other than farm work, which is incredibly easy to find on your own. They'll try to talk you into doing your farm work to extend your visa for another year, and so they can forget about you and move on to the next backpacker. The orientation was nothing more than a slideshow of Australia... I found myself scrambling after only a few days to try and figure out what I was to do next. All in all, I ended up getting a bus out of the ** hole they call Surfers Paradise to Coffs Harbour, and the rest was history.

Global have been very helpful in setting everything up on my arrival. I look forward to starting my work and enjoying the experience. All members of staff are also very friendly and approachable.

So it's not even been 24 hours yet but everything as promised by the GWT has been on point from landing at the airport and meeting your smiley transfer driver to checking in to the accommodation and then meeting the GWT for the orientation the next morning. The ocean view is amazing in surfers paradise and your weather is beautiful. The staff that are assigned to you before your trip and when you arrive are very helpful/organised with the information/support you may need moving to a new country.

As discussed in various phone calls with Global Work and Travel staff, I was promised an internship with a well-known company. After weeks of forms, applications and phone calls, I was told that I was only eligible for internships with NGOs as I am not doing an internship for credit points/uni. I wish they could have told me earlier to avoid weeks of wasted time and energy. The company wanted to charge upwards of $2,700 for this... something that could easily be avoided by just applying directly. Luckily, I was able to receive a refund for my down payment. My guess is that there are many out there who haven't. My other advice would be to not fall for their high-pressure sales tactics - take time to think about it rather than putting down the $800 deposit in the first phone call.

Josh was outstanding! He answered all of my questions and made me feel totally comfortable and confident in my decision to book this trip.

Staff is very excited about your travels.

Josh is very friendly, very helpful with the entire process! I am extremely excited to leave New York, board my plane, and head to Australia for the time of my life!

Alex was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and positive. All the accommodations seem amazing. The idea of getting out of the country is amazing and seems much more possible with the help of your company.

During the phone conference with Jesse all my initial inhibitions about traveling were met with assurance that I would have nothing but a great time and replaced with excitement. I was taken through all aspects of planning the trip, what will be involved and what I can expect after arriving. Afterwards I had no further questions as all bases had been thoroughly and enthusiastically covered leaving me feeling ready to set off on an adventure.

It was a very easy process, all my questions were immediately answered and Yvonne was super friendly and helpful! I love her Irish accent and she is soooo funny! I will definitely be booking with Global again! Can't wait to get started on my travels!!!

The Work & Travel Expert helped a lot, cleared the air! Very helpful.

Very friendly team, excellent experience. By far the best I have dealt with.

You eliminated all the risks!

I have loved speaking with my Work & Travel Expert Alex, so friendly and has made me even more relaxed at the thought of travelling to the other side of the world! I have had everything answered for me before having to ask any of my questions. Very pleased!

I didn't expect as much included into the package that is there. It brilliant! And Alex who spoke to me on the phone, great guy. Helped me along with all the essential information to get the ball rolling!!!

I am excited to begin my journey of a working travel holiday and appreciated work & travels bubbly, positive nature when discussing plans.

Kendall and Jack were so friendly and very helpful in answering all my questions!

Excellent customer service & answered all my questions.

The people I spoke with on the phone were very helpful to any questions I had! They made it an exciting experience.

Your team got back to me via a phone call quickly after I tried to get in contact with Global Work & Travel. Sean was very friendly, to the point where I had to wonder if the offer was too good to be true, and the guy in registration was equally friendly. He lowered the cost of the deposit so I could enroll today instead of putting it off. All and all you guys get an A+ from me in the customer service department. I am truly impressed thus far on how you guys communicate with your potential travelers.

Very easy, and Meeting new people.

Adam was great. Really nice guy!

I really appreciated the availability of support and the uncomplicated way in which everything was handled. You're awesome!

Really easy with helpful travel experts who knew what they were talking about.

Max has been so nice and we have been speaking at the phone almost one hour and he has been really clear in everything. I'm excited to go to Canada (hopefully) and work there make experience and friends. I would like to have some nice stories to talk about in my future and this is an opportunity to get some.

Super helpful, not pushy at all, good background info. :) Very friendly. Really appreciate all his help! Helped us to push start our working holiday!!

Extremely informative, really clear outline of trip. Can't wait to get over there, so excited! Thanks Matt for helping us book our trip!

Aaron and Shaun were great guys and provide an awesome service.

It was great! Jesse (a work & travel expert) gave me all the info I wanted & before I even said anything. It makes me a whole lot more pumped to travel as well! Really good!

I'm excited to experience opportunities I wouldn't in my own country. I'm excited to meet new people, experience new jobs, culture, and lifestyles than I'm used to. I'm also extremely excited to explore this vibrant, radiant country.

It was good, answered all my questions, easy to talk to.

Great experience, expert advice from a seasoned traveller in Beau. Looking forward to meeting and working with new people in a great country.

Great knowledge and experience. Made me feel really excited about the experience.

Very well, detailed, positive vibe and Jesse made me feel comfortable and comforted in Global.

Thalia was extremely friendly and really easy to talk to - made me extremely excited to get on board!

Received lots of information, friendly and very helpful. I love the idea of being able to travel and work independently but having support from experts.

I received contact almost immediately after requesting an inquiry on the website. Beau was very easy to talk and was happy to share his own experiences of travelling informing you on the difficulties associated with travelling overseas which made me feel more comfortable organizing my trip through a reputable company.

Ryan was very clear and provided lots of information along with answering all my questions. He was a good listener and very helpful. He was also very friendly and shared my excitement. Overall was very happy with the way I was treated and my experience.

The knowledge and enthusiasm that my call handler had really impressed me and cemented my decision to book. It was easy to tell that my expert had been to Australia before and knew the process from start to finish.

Ryan has been extremely helpful and understanding with my booking! He gave in depth information about the areas and places I could travel to and what job opportunities I could have!

Was super friendly and made me feel very comfortable. Gave amazing advice and made the trip seem even better and more accessible. Thank you for that.

Excellent humor and lovely to deal with.

Very helpful team that answered all my questions!

Corey's thorough explanation about what to expect and the benefits of this program were very helpful, and his bubbly personality and empathetic nature made me even more excited about what's in store for 2017!

Looking forward to a great adventure.

Very good to communicate with and understand. :)

I have always wanted to work overseas and now I get to with the help of Benny boy! He's a great person to talk to, covers everything and makes your dreams come to reality! Love it.

Excellent booking experience. All questions answered. Calls made when it would be agreed (despite my not accepting calls due to last-minute schedule changes). Most excited or rather happy to hear about the 24/7 emergency phone line as well as the fact that there is someone who builds my profile for me, and that there is a support network already established in London.

Good experience, enjoyed talking to her. Very positive and exciting person to chat with. Made me feel excited! Wish I could chat more with her. :)

I loved that you guys actually called! Felt more real!

I'm from Australia and I recently went to Vancouver, but now I'm near Port Severn. I participated in The Working Holiday program of The Global Work & Travel. It seemed like a good program. I watched reviews from other people who have taken it, and it came out that I had a great time with this program. I speak with my coordinator quite often and she's very helpful. She's contacted me recently as well to see how I'm going.

Carly is amazing! She made my day!! Thank you.

Arya was amazing! So down to earth and easy to talk to. Gave me so much information about the trip and made me feel so comfortable with the organization and the programs. So excited for my adventure!!

The booking experience was very easy to use and easy to do. Most looking forward to seeing a different part of the world and getting to experience different things with new people. :)

Ryan was extremely helpful and just as excited as I was about my trip to Australia and Ross answered every question I had.

So excited to have all the new experiences and Kim was excellent with giving me all the information, you guys were great!

Thank you so much for your excellent communication. I look forward to seeing what comes next!

Beau was the friendliest guy I have talked to. I wish I was going on the trip with him. Super friendly. Really helpful. Couldn't ask for better.

Great information about the program, answered all questions. I am going to experience a once in a life time opportunity and I have you guys to thank for making my dreams come true.

She was AMAZING. I would have felt bad saying no to her. She has excellent customer service. I absolutely love her attitude, and would hire her ANY DAY!

Max was very helpful and answered all the questions I had. I am excited about the opportunities that you can provide!

Having been putting off my dream of travelling for years, due to personal and work commitments I finally feel ready to take the plunge and having spoken to Adam over the phone, I feel very excited about my trip and totally at ease. Simply by the amount of knowledge and information provided as well as his friendly manner and enthusiasm towards my dream to travel has left me feeling on a high and stress free. Looking forward to planning and getting there! Cheers to the next step!
