Costsaver vs Globus
Compare the travel styles, pricing, destinations and popularity of Costsaver and Globus.The Low Down
CostSaver is Trafalgar's affordable range of coach tours. Comparable to Cosmos in price and quality, their focus has always been on Europe and the UK, but have more recently launched a range of new itineraries in the US, Canada and South America. If you are looking for an affordable touring option, then CostSaver is a great option, and if you've travelled with any of its sister brands like AAT Kings, Trafalgar or Insight Vacations further savings are available.The price for that affordability - while all the must-see sights are included, there are lot of optional excursions which can add up quickly if you choose to do them all. If that's likely, perhaps a more inclusive Operator like Trafalgar or Insight is best. However if you like the freedom to explore on your own, and are after a relaxing and hassle-free holiday, then Costsaver is a great option.
The Globus Family of Brands, which includes Globus, Cosmos, Monograms & Avalon Waterways are always popular with our clients. Globus offer a premium guided touring experience all over the world, catering mainly for the 55+ market - but like most Operators are open to all ages. Along with their standard itineraries, Globus also have a range of popular European Winter Escapes and numerous faith-based religious tours.The majority if their trips are centred on Europe, Canada and the USA where they provide 4+ star accommodation, luxury coaches, plenty of meals & inclusions. Our team have enjoyed numerous journeys with Globus including trips to South America, Dalmatia, Mexico and Spain, so we have plenty of first hand knowledge to help you plan your next trip!

The guide Cameron was a legend, he looked after us all. Only critisism is of the tour design, I think you really need two nights in Florence and as with Germany, to be able to capture more. We just sped through those places. Otherwise it was great!
Thanks so much Global Journeys for helping me organise this trip. It exceeded our expectations and was a fantastic experience. We loved it.
Wonderful trip through the Canadian Rockies - sunshine and great weather. Loved the spectacular scenery and included options. Tour organisation from overall tour delivery company was average, with some less than ideal accommodation locations for ease of exploring, and major difficulty in completing payment for optional excursions - although TD and read more driver compensated for some of that making the best of the circumstances.
It's the first time I have travelled with Costsaver. Overall the tour was very good and the tour guide and driver did a good job. We visited some amazing places my top picks was Monument Valley and Yellowstone. I would consider travelling with them again.
We are very glad that we booked this toor with Costsaver! The trip was very well organised! Both our tour director and driver were excellent! We were in good company with our fellow travellers. We have seen many spectacular National Parks on the tour.
Really enjoyed the introduction tour of scandinavia! John was great travel director and Marcin was a great driver! Great use of local tour guides especially Adi who has a fun personality suited once you get to Stockholm. Wish you could stay in Copenhagen and Stockholm longer to make this tour a 14-15 day instead because they were fairly large cities. read more If you are doing this tour, I would recommend to try arriving 2 days earlier to explore a-bit more of Copenhagen and stay another day or 2 in Stockholm. Norway was at the right amount and the Flam rail and cruise through the Nærøyfjord is a must for future tourist.
Now we also experienced a very hot summer (which was very rare according to locals) but wish some of the hotels had fans or vented cooling. Other than that, the hotels in Copenhagen, Bergen & Stockholm were great! Thanks again Costsaver for a great experience!

Fantastic trip ...especially Amazon 0
South America Getaway with Amazon
Chris , QLD, Australia, Oct 2025
Thanks Georgie for fantastic arrangements as usual for a really great trip. True highlights were iguazu Falls and the Amazon...both SO much better than my expectations which were already high. 2 days in Manaus before the trip started was ideal as the jet lag and long travel to manaus took some adjustment. Outstanding tour guides in Amazon and Iguazu read more and good elsewhere made for a wonderful trip. Loved the small group tour ...just 13 of us. Perfect. Highly recommend this trip for a great pace and itinerary.

South America Getaway with Santiago & Easter Island
Gary and Lea, NSW, Australia, Oct 2025
Highlight of the trip was Iguassu Falls....we had plenty of time to explore both sides of the Falls and the local guide and accommodation was great. Easter Island was fascinating, despite some shortcomings with the local accommodation and guide There's a lot of air travel so be prepared to spend a lot of time in airports or on (crowded economy class) read more flights. No airport transfer on arrival is offered, nor can you prepay gratuities. So we had to carry local currency or USD throughout. Hotel location in Santiago was well away from shops, etc...about 20-30 minutes walk to local shopping centres, etc.
Tour group was dominated by USA tourists, including a group of (comped?) travel agents. Grace from GJ did an excellent job with the booking and Globus liaison.

I enjoyed my Globus trip & again they have a great itinerary, tour guide and bus driver. Especially like the extra tours.
Greece has always been an intriguing country because if its impact on language, plus philosophy and mathematics. And oh! those wonderful gods and goddesses. Their power and behaviour! The 8 day/4 days cruise of the islands was delightful. Our Tour Director. Themis, is fabulous. She loves her job and it shows. She is so enthusiastic and well organized. read more Themis is very caring and kind - she watches closely the well being of her group, and has loads of information to impart. She is a very special person and makes this tour an excellent choice.
Wonderful tour of UK and Southern Ireland with Globus 0
Britain & Ireland in Depth
Alistair and Karen , VIC, Australia, Sep 2025
We had a trouble free tour of UK and Southern Ireland in late September into October. Weather was fine with only 2 wet days for whole tour. Our guide Oshan was excellent with fantastic knowledge of places we visited and history of countries we visited, he showed passion and humour which made travelling with him easy and fun. Tour was well planned and read more bus driver added to the journey with his knowledge and driving skills. Hotels were excellent and meals provided a high standard. Nothing was to much trouble for Oshan and Myrion we appreciated how they looked after us. Thank you Globus for a well planned and delivered tour.
The tour host was exceptional. Very knowledgeable. Also extremely patient with guests who didn't pay attention and continually asked questions that had already been explained. The accommodation was less of a standard than I expected but did not detract from the tour overall.
