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.
This tour goes to all the places you need to see. Highlights were Montreux and Zermatt. Hotels were lovely and included meals were really nice, especially the lasagne served at the family run hotel in St Moritz. Our tour guide gave good instructions so not to miss any of the trains. As we watched all the beautiful scenery from the trains we also got ...read more to know our travelling companions and made new friends. Loved all the optional tours.
Cosmos did excellent job selecting most interesting places along the tour. Driver Jarek and tour director Tom performed beautifully. We had the best time during this tour week.
We had a wonderful time on a Cosmos tour . Western Canada by rail. The tour did not disappoint. We had the best time and the best tour director Mark Love. Highly recommend this tour.
We would definitely travel with Cosmos again and book with Global Journeys again. From our first enquiry regarding our chosen trip, all our questions were answered in detail and promptly. The website and app also making it easier to gather information. Our trip to the Canadian Rockies certainly met our expectations. There were so many highlights during ...read more this trip we couldn't pick one that stood out from the other, they all did. We started our trip early in June and that was a great time to go for us, before it got too hot and there was still snow on the peaks which made the scenery even more spectacular. The accommodation was great, all the rooms were large. Our fellow travelling companions were a mixed lot from Canada, USA, UK, India and Australia and all got along well.
It was as a great tour of B C. The tour leader Brad couldn’t have been better. He was punctual, courteous, knowledgeable and kind. Our bus driver Dave was an excellent, safe driver which was needed on the many hair-pin bends or roads with precipitous drops! Some lunch stops were in service areas so the food options together with the scenery or shade ...read more were limited. Accommodation was comfortable with the highlight being in Victoria on Vancouver Island at the Royal Scot hotel. The hotel in Kolawan was in an area distant from the main attractions and the beautiful lake, so that location was a disappointment. Excursions offered, especially the marine-life watching off Victoria where we saw Orcas and Hump Back whales, were an enjoyable part of the trip. The lake excursion to Spirit Island was sublime.
The Alaskan cruise was probably the most decadent experience of my life. Royalty could not have been better treated! The food in the dining room and service were unsurpassed! Be sure to book a stateroom with at least a window though! I’d book a Cosmos tour again! I’d recommend it for value, interest and professionalism. Happy travels!

This was the last of our 3 pilgrimages that my wife and I did this trip to Europe. It proved to be the best out of the three. A lot of it was because of the Tour Leader, Rosa Perez who really looked after us very well and was a fount of knowledge. Her passion for the countries we visited was also infectious. The accommodation was also very good.
