Great friendly staff but very pushy
Harrison who I talked to was absolutely lovely and understanding but required me to put down deposit after only 20 minutes wish I read the reviews first. As they were a big red flag. Im sure its a great trustworthy organisation but just doesnt seem the right fit for me.

Call centre lady was lovely and very informative, service has been great so far. Still a little weary that its a scam...
I was required to submit a review before they give you much actual information, which is a bit sketchy. Ive read a lot of negative reviews but decided to take the leap anyway. Very excited, just hoping its not a scam.

I'm very happy
Easy to sign up and was reassured the whole way while signing up. The operator that I had was very nice and helped me through the process. And let me pay for deposit 2 days after when I got paid, and she saved the spot for me, which was very nice.

Made a trip a lot easier
No, I knew about all booking fees.
I booked a volunteer trip to Myanmar for 4 weeks. They were very helpful and friendly. It definitely met, if not exceeded my expectations.

Qualifying phone call
Great experience with the qualifying phone call - I received heaps of information in a clear and concise manner, easily understood and genuinely finished the phone call with the ability to make an informed and stress-free decision with Cheyenne.

Informative and efficient
Booking and planning my upcoming trip was made easy by the consultant. Everything went smoothly, also the follow up call by my travel coordinator. After completion of my trip in 2020 I‘ll be able to provide further comments with respect to location, experience and overall satisfaction.

A unimaginable experience. NAMASTE NEPAL
Such smooth sailing. Everything was well organised. I really didn't have to worry about anything. The experience was amazing. The staff members at the camp were amazing! So caring and they really do look after you. However, I did find it annoying going through customs in Nepal, because there was no direction, I wish I had known prior because I was left at the airport because of the delay. I also wish Global provided more detail to what to expect for my volunteer trip, especially with the teaching. As you have to prepare what to teach for each c...Read more
lass (different grades), which was a bit overwhelming especially being the only volunteer on that project. Overall, an amazing experience, you meet the most amazing people, I'll definitely will be going back.1 comment

Awful! Don’t book with this company! If you want to do any volunteering book directly with the organisation yourself!
The centre I stayed at charged $50 dollars a night all in. Global work charged me double per night. Need I say more. The experience was great I have no problems with that.

Not worth the money
The operators are helpful and friendly but it's obvious its just a sales tactic. I was interested in this company after looking at their website however friends who have paid deposits or traveled with this company say the company promises support overseas however the coordinators were hard to reach and left them feeling unsafe. After 1 phone call I felt like they were pressuring me too much to sign up. It's just as easy to organise a working holiday yourself and you save access $2300 :)

We appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback, however, we're disappointed to read that you feel this way about your initial dealings with our company.... Read more
We have strict deadlines for our intakes, which are due to things such as visa submission dates & cut-offs, season variables, intake capacity for our offices, and even flight limitations for some trips. Our friendly reps would have been simply trying to save you the disappointment from missing out on a spot. We encourage your friends to get in touch with us at [email protected] so we can try and rectify their concerns about support and safety.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

A fantastic opportunity
Booked a trip to Australia, which got me excited for a plan which I've had for 3 years. It was easy to book. Ollie was a great communicator and gave me all the information I needed to know.

So excited
I truthfully was so hesitant which is why I kept it to email-based contact only at first, then I eventually gathered enough confidence to agree to speaking with Global.
I was hesitant because I wasn't sure of my own capabilities and willingness to try something I can only think of as 'life changing'.

Questions & Answers
Pam H.asked
I have seen a few negative reviews about this company. I am supposed to be going to Thailand in Feb 2021 to volunteer with their tails and trunks program I am wondering has anyone completed this trip and what did they think and was Global work and travel really helpful and supportive. I admit they were pushy at first but it sounded really good thats why I have paid a deposit to go but then after reading the reviews I am feeling very anxious about it and starting to think that maybe I have made a mistake can anyone please put my mind at ease that I have made a good choice to go with them.

It's great to hear your Work & Travel Expert Harrison was so lovely and understanding. In terms of the deposit, we have strict deadlines for our intakes, which are due to things such as visa submission dates & cut-offs, season variables, intake capacity for our offices, and even flight limitations for some trips. He would have been wanting to save you the disappointment of missing out on a spot, as our trips fill up on a first-in, best-dressed basis. We're disappointed you feel as though we're not the right fit. We wish you all the best with your travels regardless.
