Great trip, highlights being Iguassu Falls & Machu Picchu. Downsides, 4 internal flights which involved long hours at airports, plus overly priced Choice Experiences. Both Travel Directors very knowledgeable & passionate about their respective countries. Very customer service oriented.
Booking was fast and easy. Amazing tour, but fast paced with early morning and evening arrivals due the time of year. Perhaps this tour is more suited for spring than winter as longer days of light would have enabled us to see more of the destination along the route and apon arrival. Lots of fun and excursion options.
Overall we had a good holiday with the small group which we enjoyed, The Travel Director and both guides were extremely good & very helpful & accommodations were excellent & our coach, drivers were also very friendly. Our only oncern was when we went to Sun world BA NA Hills. The Travel director didn't come with us so we struggled & due to severe weather ...read more conditions at the hill we were unable to see all the attractions. Looking forward next tour with Global Journeys in 2025.
A 25 day coach tour, East to West through the southern states of USA. The pace was fairly relaxed, majority of our daily departures were around 8 am, and arriving in our next destination mostly by 5 pm. We started and ended with 2 of the busiest cities, New York and LA and everything in between, beautiful mountains of Shenandoah to magnificent Monument ...read more Valley, and vibrant cities like New Orleans and Las Vegas along the way. Informative commentary was provided on history and demographics of places visited. We had a great group of 99% Aussies, similar in age and all got on so well, all respectful of our time lines and had no delays on our travels. A great holiday to explore this vast region of USA.
This road trip had all the iconic landmarks covered. The Tour Director was knowledgeable and informative. This tour was not only great but educational as well. Accommodation in Las Vegas was at Golden Nugget which was too far away from The Strip. Would prefer a hotel more central and walkable.
Booking online with Hannah has been, as usual, a breeze. That's our second booking through Hannah and her courtesy with our queries and the changes we requested is to be commended. We had a great trip and would definitely book with Global Journeys and hopefully Hannah again. Thank you for your professionalism and support.
Costsaver is a budget option, that has pros and cons. Rooms were good, a few were out of town, but that was not an issue for me. The itinerary could be shortened by a couple of days, as the coach wastes time in many comfort stops with excessive down time. The itinerary could be reviewed as hours in tourist stops could be consolidated and make for a ...read more better experience. So many fudge and ice cream shops! Not having food provided, suited me and gave me flexibility for more simple meals. Fall foliage was late in 2024, so our early trip had about 30% colour which was still amazing, it is nature after all. Our Costsaver Fall foliage tour director was a disappointment, boring, lazy and generally grumpy to the guests. He should be retrained in customer service. Overall I would rate the Costsaver Fall Foliage tour of 21st September 2024 a 3 rating out of 5.
We had an amazing USA Best of the West Tour with Costsaver. Georgie at Global Journeys offered excellent service with our tour booking. Our travel director, Todd was very knowledgeable and a great tour guide. Our driver, Augusto kept us safe all through the journey. Will use Global Journeys and Costsaver again!
