We were very happy with the service provided while on our Canadian Masterpiece Tour. Everything was as described in the itinerary. Our tour director and bus driver went above and beyond their duties to ensure we saw everything and to ensure our satisfaction. The service on the Rocky Mountaineer was also exceptional. We would organsie our travel with ...read more Global Journeys again.
It was great trip from start to finish with lots of high lights loved San Francisco' Yosemite' also Santa Barbera and The Grand canyon. We had a good tour director in Graig and great driver called Greg. The tour was very well organised ran smoothly.
I thoroughly enjoyed my tour with Cosmos and travelling solo. The itinerary was fantastic and I visited some wonderful places and towns. I saw some amazing things and overall had sufficient time to take in the most important sites. Very pleased with the accommodation used throughout the tour and great English breakfasts, with occasional dinners included. ...read more Cosmos, was very efficient and highly organised and I opted for all the optional excursions. This was an enjoyable holiday experience. Travelling at the time of the Edinburgh Military Tattoo and seeing this was fantastic and can finally tick off my bucket list of attending the military tattoo. The tour guide, Charlotte , and our bus driver, Pedro, were both excellent. We rotated by 4 spots each day given each a turn at front middle and back of coach. The weather was perfect with only 1 day of rain occurring, rest of days were sunny and windy.
I would like to thank Georgie for handling my booking and being very quick in communication via email, the documents arriving in plenty of time. Highly recommended Global Journeys and highly recommended this tour to see the highlights of UK so you can return to spend more time in areas you liked the most.

Would not recommend this to anyone who has difficulty walking. Some hotels are quite a distance from the train stations and some days we were travelling on quite a few different trains so you have to change platforms or change to buses. So accomodation was very small. Lots of free time also. Recommend the optional excursion to medieval castle.
This was our second tour with Cosmos and we enjoyed it. We went to some great places with wonderful scenery. Our tour guide was excellent and we had an unseasonably small group (only 13) which helped make it enjoyable. Unfortunately we could not go to Jasper due to fires in the area, but the alternative destinations and activities were good if not quite ...read more the same. Highlights included the Rocky Mountaineer train and some optional excursions such as the helicopter flight over the Rockies and whale-watching in Victoria. Most of the accommodation was good, though the Banff one was out of town, which made it difficult to go anywhere other than the hotel for dinner. We would have preferred breakfast to be included each day - a couple of times we were unable to have breakfast at the hotel and needed to find an alternative. Some of the days were very long including some early starts and late afternoon arrivals. But overall it was an excellent tour and a fantastic destination.
Fantastic trip even with the disruptions 0 William and Maureen, New South Wales, Australia, Jul 2024
We arrived to a very wet Vancouver. Had a day touring this city & Stanley Park. What a beautiful place. We then learnt that there would be changes to our itinerary due to all the wild fires. All the changes were handled with great professionalism. There wasn’t much snow around due to the unseasonal high temperatures. The whole tour was really great. ...read more The tour guide was very knowledgeable. We would highly recommend Global Journeys for any future tours.
Absolutely lovely trip, Goldleaf on the Rocky Mountaineer was well worth it, as was the Cosmos coach trip. The Holland America Inside Passage was just amazing. A big thank you to Georgie from Global Journeys for organising this wonderful trip.
Well run tour but a bit bare in terms of itinerary. Some of the accommodation was not central. Nice tour guide and people on the trip.
