Costsaver vs Trafalgar
Compare the travel styles, pricing, destinations and popularity of Costsaver and Trafalgar.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.
Over 350 coach tours around the world, and one of our clients most popular Operators, Trafalgar is part of the Travel Corporation, which includes under its umbrella the sister brands of Insight Vacations, AAT Kings, Uniworld, Contiki & Costsaver. With a worldwide presence and local operations in Australasia for many years, you'll enjoy the company of many nationalities aboard your coach, including those from Downunder. Sitting between Insight and Costsaver, Trafalgar pride themselves in touring innovation, introducing 'Insider Experiences' (where you get to know and dine with the locals) and travel styles to suit those that prefer smaller groups or those that prefer a more leisurely itinerary.Look out for Trafalgar's Early-payment savings where you can save up to 10% on your trip as well as further savings if you are a past passenger on any of the aforementioned sister brands.

The tour was well paced & I would recommend it to anyone with a love ...read more of nature.
It was our second time travelling with Costsaver. The Rocky Mountains scenery was amazing. We wished we could have spent more time in the mountains rather than the stops in Vancouver and Victoria. We enjoyed the free time during the tour as the Optional experiences weren’t our scene and quite expensive. All hotel rooms were clean and very comfortable ...read more although the hotels in Victoria and Vancouver were too far out of town and the train line behind the Canmore hotel was so noisy. Our Tour Director and coach driver were great .Our fellow travellers were from all parts of the world and all different ages but all very friendly.
We are home now after a wonderful (but occasionaly stressful) eight weeks away. Thankfully the trip was saved by the emergency passport!

This was our first Trafalgar tour and it certainly will not be our last. A great tour director passionate and knowledgeable about his country, a great selection of hotels and activities ,and added tours that were good value and flexable. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire trip and would have no hesitation in touring with Trafalgar again.
I would definitely travel with Trafalgar again, well organised and interesting tour taking in all the Italian highlights. Had a great tour director (Sasha) who was accomodating and knowledgeable.
Our trip The best of Germany and Austria was amazing. We travelled at a lovely pace with time for showers and change of clothes before dinner. Plenty of options to choose from. Absolutely loved the shows combined with the dinners, they are always an ice breaker, getting to know your group. This trip will not disappoint. Our travel director Erik was ...read more wonderful always available for anyone that had a query or a problem they needed help with. As always only the best of coach drivers.
The trip right from booking via Hannah to the tour guides was simply superb. Would highly recommend both Global and Trafalgar to anyone. We are already thinking about next European trip.
The itinerary was relaxing. I had good amount of time to walk around and enjoy my lunch leisurely. Appreciate a leisure travel with only 3-5 hours driving on the road everyday, and yet I got to see many scenic places. Hotels were good to average, nice to stay for 2 nights at all places, except the first night in Dublin. Provided meals were ok, Be my ...read more Guest meal was pretty good and felt homely.
