Cosmos vs Trafalgar
Compare the travel styles, pricing, destinations and popularity of Cosmos and Trafalgar.The Low Down
A lot of our clients aren't too fussed about their accommodation (as long as it's clean and comfortable) and are more interested in the destination. Over 1,200 past client reviews with an average 4.5 out 5 star rating, is impressive. Why? Great value and interesting itineraries. Part of the Globus Family, there are further great discounts to be had.Accommodation is 3 to 3/12 star, but a lot of our clients are pleasantly surprised at the quality. Hotels are often located out of the city centre, so prepare your trip budget to allow for transfers or taxis if you want to explore the cities on your own. Allow extra funds for some meals and excursions not included in more premium inclusive itineraries. Like our past clients, we feel very comfortable recommending Cosmos.

We had Eastern Canada on our wish list, and our researching found this tour, which worked in with our primary reason for the trip, a cruise from Boston. We had a wonderful time and would recommend to others. We will definitely book our next tour with Global Journeys. Rachel, as a tour consultant has been quick and efficient in responding to any queries ...read more we had.
This wonderful tour certainly lives up to its title. The wonderful places we visited, coupled with the incredible knowledge our tour guide delivered was quite simply second to none. All our accommodation, apart from our night at Faulty Towers (whose amusement value was priceless in itself), was great. The only thing I’d change would be the timeframe. ...read more It could easily be stretched out to 30 or more days, allowing the opportunity to explore some of the places a little more. So, apart from the whirlwind visits, it certainly lived up to expectations.
Great tour incorporating all of the sights of Rome. Easy booking process and helpful staff. Highly recommended. Received itinerary in a timely manner and the CosmosGO APP is so handy.
Our trip to the Rockies and Inland Passage was full of fantastic scenery and activities. The Rockies and Alaska is truly vast and there is so much to see and experience. Every activity was a stand-alone experience, From leaving home and getting to Vancouver and then on to the cruise, everything went smoothly and everything was well organised. Our tour ...read more director and driver were exceptional. Using three different digital platforms for Global journeys, Cosmos and Holland America at times was challenging, but we seemed to have completed everything correctly.
This is a fabulous trip with 2 days at each hotel. I highly recommend the Italian Lakes as a relaxing style of travel . The lakes and the surrounding area is absolutely beautiful. We had a great group of people that mixed very well together. One thing I would recommend is a get together dinner early in the trip instead of it being the second last night. ...read more Thanks to Tracey at Global Journeys for looking after us.
We found the trip a bit of a disappointment, the accommodation was fantastic near or in the Game Reserve, the food was good with 3 meals a day with a large variety to choose from and the 6 seater 4x4 with lifting roof where comfortable and allowed all of us to have a great view and get great shots. Ours and fellow travelers disappointed was that most ...read more drives were only 2 hours and the 4x4 were not aquipped with radio to communicate with other vehicles and seemed to drive a set route, we were told one day we were not looking for big cats as the agenda said elephants. Also our tour guide moved between both vehicles each day but spent most of it talking to the driver. While it was a great experience going to these amazing locations I’d probably choose another provider for our next adventure in Africa.

Very well managed, fast paced tour, but enjoyable. Too much to see in a short time, but tour director was excellent and made it very enjoyable.
Best of France was a wonderful trip. Our TD was Bruno who was excellent, which made our journey relaxed and fun. Our driver Jordan was very friendly and exceptionally skill full in his driving. The group we were travelling with was of mixed ages and we all got along and had fun together.

Loved our Trafalgar experience. Good Hotels, good Coach & Driver, Good tour guide. They know where to take you, when to take you and how to best get you in. Nothing is too much trouble. Hannah did an excellent job organizing our finer details for us.
Our Britain and Ireland Grandeur tour was fantastic. The tour guide was the best we've ever had. He was friendly, approachable, helpful, very well organised and had a very good knowledge of all the many places we visited as well as the history of the local area. The driver was fantastic too as she was friendly, helpful, safe and very capable She ...read more had a good relationship with the tour director and all of the local specialists that came along, taking us to many places that were pretty challenging to drive a coach. The local specialists were all very good too and gave interesting insights into their local area. Even though the tour was fast paced there was always enough time to look around the places we visited, have a coffee or a meal, do a bit of shopping or have a chat with the locals as well as visit the rest rooms. The optional experiences were all worthwhile and added greatly to the overall experience. We have no hesitation in recommending this tour to anyone who wants to get a good overview of the UK and Ireland.
Absolutely wonderful tour and great itinerary! Highly recommend for a tour of Northern Italy. Travel time was planned
smartly and efficiently to ensure the time was spent well. It's easy to add another extension before or after the group tour as well with Milan as a central location.
