Global Work & Travel UK - London

JG E

Very friendly and helpful with all processes, getting Visa and flights, getting a SIM for my phone, bank account, and job interviews. I am a worry-wart so it was great that Kim was always happy to answer my questions and concerns, and I asked A LOT. Everything worked out and I was able to get a job interview and position right before I arrived so I didn't have to worry about it when I got there. They arranged a bunch of group activities and if I couldn't make them I can save and reschedule for another time which is awesome! The only "downside" is the cost of flights and insurance but overall, if you're new to traveling like I am and needed the help it's worth it. It's cheaper to do it on your own but I had them helping every step and didn't have to worry about cancellations or any unforeseen events messing up my trip!

Buyer Beware .. Unfortuantely they falsely advertise their services- We recently purchased a volunteer trip to Costa Rica, the brochure on the website adsvertised " interactions with Sloths" and various roles that would be expected, which on arrival was told this is not the case.
The volunteers are only allowed interact with them after 3 months. Little or nothing was done regarding our request to leave on day 3, or substitute with another trip or a refund. On day 7/9 a manager was involved which is too late on a 14 day trip
.In edition a wild dog bit a volunteer and nothong was done to resolve or seek medical help.
Do not sign up for this with Global or at least ensure you are adquately aware of what you will and won''t do on the trip.

Global work and travel are an amazing company. I would highly recommend this company to any travellers. They have a range of different categories from Au pair to volunteers and it’s all about the journey. Jess and Stacey were amazing and still are whilst I continue my journey through the UK. These girls always reply within 24hrs to any emails or calls answering all questions about everything. They help from ensuring you have a check list to insurance policy and still check up whilst away travelling. This company has made from what seemed unrealistic to actually happening happen and that for me is just amazing!

Once you book onto a trip you get a call the next day to check for eligibility and to take payment. I had Millie as my trip coordinator she had an enthusiastic personality so I enjoyed working with her to get me ready for my trip. She left half way through the trip organisation to follow a new career path so I got Ross! His been brilliant. His professional, updates me regularly, answers all questions and I can always call if I have any questions. I couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator than Ross. His exceeded my expectations of the global work & travel.

Pros:
- I have felt very well supported to plan my trip.

- Gworld has all your documents organised well.

- I was supported with my resume as it needed some extra work!

Cons:
- limited training opportunities. So you do have to be open minded with areas that may not necessary be your first choice.

- It is very costly to book on to an internship or working holiday & as a young professional I have had to use / save some money up to be able to afford it. You also need some money saved up for your arrival especially if your trip does not include accommodation.

- You do enquire extra prices along the way that are not included aswell e.g. flights, police record, visa fee. I think the ACRO and visa fee should perhaps be included.

Was very skeptical about booking with a company online I hadn’t really heard much about before but global work and travel were amazing! Would 100% recommend to anyone who is looking to travel with help along the way. I’m currently in Thailand volunteering with dogs and then off travelling for a month afterwards and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the help from Julian and Millie! They were happy to help me through my journey and answer ALL of my questions!

I found this company very easy to use! From the minute I called to get a quote and information before anything, to the moment I arrived in the UK to begin my adventure everyone I spoke to were very informative, friendly and extremely helpful!
I had a job opportunity before I arrived in the country, and having a job, and accommodation before I even arrived was an amazing relief not only to me but also my mum!
Kirsty and Katy are very easy to work with! You will never feel as though you don't have someone to talk to or go to for questions! They are always willing to help and are accessible at all times!
I would highly recommend the use of Global Work and Travel for anyone looking to experience work overseas and the convenience to travel whilst over there!!

I was absolutely so scared as I have never done anything like this before and super skeptical. however though global goes above and beyond and I had an amazing travel concierge named Stacey and she is the most kindest person and answered all my questions all my Phone calls was so patient with me would 10/10 recommend her to anyone she assured me and helped so much with my nerves making more excited got my trip. Will definitely book with them again

So worth it! To be very honest I was skeptical about going through Global Work and Travel as it seemed too good to be true but my experience with them has been unreal. Everything has worked out so far and I’m incredibly happy with my choice. My travel coordinator, Kirsty Harman was exceptionally helpful and will support with anything no matter how silly the dilemma may be; plus she’s got an awesome personality! 100% recommend to ANYONE!!
