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.
When j booked this tour it was advertised as a small group (up to 24) so it was quite surprising on arrival to find out it was 36. Clearly our tour guide was out of her depth coordinating that many people & for the first few days we were left wandering. I feel there was a lot of wasted time as we were returned to our hotels by 4pm even after asking ...read more if we could be taken to other close locations. The sites were great otherwise.
I have recently returned home after being on Cosmos’ British Isles in Depth tour and I had a fantastic time. Having only visited London in the past, I specifically wanted a tour which visited all other corners of the UK and Ireland. After having spent the 23 days on this tour with a smile on my face, I can confidently say this tour delivered in spades ...read more and it exceeded all my expectations.
All the cities and towns we visited were of historical and cultural importance and our touring group took the opportunity to capture many stunning photos. There were numerous highlights of this tour, but I felt Scotland and Ireland really shone in their own right: I loved experiencing the crispness and purity of the Scottish Highlands and immersing in the scenery and charm offered by Ireland’s Dingle Peninsula and Ring of Kerry regions.
This is the third Cosmos tour I have been on and I find their tours to be of excellent value for money. Our tour director, Oshan, was exceptional and I felt safe in how Ian, our coach driver, handled the roads. Our tour group only had 26 travellers which was a pleasant surprise, we travelled on a brand new coach and to top it off, we had perfect weather for the duration of the tour!
Accommodation on the tour was for the most part entirely comfortable and centrally located in the towns we were staying in. I chose to participate in all optional excursions offered and whilst they were all different experiences, they added to my overall enjoyment of the tour. I felt the tour stayed for the right number of nights in each of the towns as per the itinerary and on the days we had longer distances to travel, I felt we still had adequate free time to explore the locations we visited.
I thoroughly enjoyed this tour and I recommend it to anyone wanting to cover the UK and Ireland in depth. I also recommend the fuss-free process of booking through Global Journeys. This was the first time I’ve used their services and I was pleased my consultant, Maisie, kept me informed of the status of my booking at all times.

A big tour of 42. Excellent Tour Director, one of the best I've had: great information including where to get breakfast and nearby supermarkets and restaurants to our hotels which was very handy, maps provided for each city, videos and music related to the places we visited. I certainly appreciated her 39 years' experience. Weather was cold and rainy ...read more in Canada, at 1 stage I had 4 layers on! The east Canadian cities had great architecture, I loved the French pastries throughout. Washington DC was great due to the range of free Smithsonian museums - you could easily spend a week here. We were here over the Memorial Day weekend (like our Anzac Day) so added colour and crowds to the various monuments we visited.
Good trip, but found hotel eateries sometime closed. I am mobility impaired so was unable to walk too far. Rooms were lovely and coach was clean and new. Guide was excellent, so other than the food situation it was a good trip. The cruise part was excellent.
15-day Central Europe Tour with Cosmos. Great value for money although some of the hotels were a fair way from town. Tea/coffee making provisions not always provided and most rooms did not have a fridge. The itinerary was amazing and our Tour Director - Timea Howard - did a great job.
This is my fifth tour with Cosmos in the US. It was somewhat disappointing. Too much time spent in gift shops and unnecessary stops throughout the tour. There were better choices for optional events too. It’s a mistake not to have at least one dinner as it helps to bond the group together. Saying that, our tour director Peggy was an absolute delight ...read more and nothing was too much trouble. It’s a full on tour and can be quite tiring, however this could be addressed with a more thoughtful itinerary.
Our 2nd trip with Cosmos tours. The tour had many music highlights of entertainment and history. Included tours and many optional tours as well to make the trip special. There was time allowed to explore on you own which was great. The hotels were of a good standard and always close to the entertainment and eateries for your own leisure time. Which ...read more is helpful when meals aren't included. Our bus driver was excellent and got us to each destination very safely. I would recommend Cosmos if you were looking for a stress-free holiday.
Cosmos put on a great trip through the middle of the USA, taking in all the music spots along the way. We enjoyed Memphis/ Beale Street, lots of lively bars and perfect weather for being outdoors. Nashville was also a great spot, Broadway having many rooftop bars. This stop could have done with more time as there was the Country Music Hall of Fame, ...read more Johnny Cash's museum and Broadway with all its rooftop bars and loads of entertainment. Not enough time to see it all. New Orleans was a great spot to, we spent extra time there after the tour finished. Our hotels were good, adequate and the one in New Orleans was very close to Bourbon St in the French Quarters. The choice of optional excursions was pretty good to, all in all well done to Cosmos. Also a well done to Georgie Walpole from Global Journeys who has helped us out with a couple of Cosmos Tours now.
The tour was very good with Temas the guide helpful and informative. Some amazing views from the train with 8 hr glacier express the highlight. The accomodation and meals provided generally good with the hotel at Zermatt top of the class. The disappointing feature was the cancellation of the train trip from St Moritz to Tirana due to track maintenance. ...read more The optional tour we went on in Lucerne was excellent with 4 course meal plus entertainment with local people helpful to understand culture of Switzerland. Many thanks to Sam for answering all our questions.
My wife and I have just completed this tour May 2025. We highly recommend this trip, if you want to experience a lot of what America has to offer. May was a good time to travel, as it was beginning of the Summer Season. We experienced snow in Yellowstone National park as well as 100 deg temp in Vegas. We had 33 on our tour, everyone had a great time. ...read more The accommodations were excellent and appropriate for different area's that we happened to be in. Our Tour Director John and Driver Wendy were absolutely fantastic, very professional and accommodating at every stage. This tour was our second tour with Cosmos & Global Journeys, we were so impressed with the first one (Golden West Tour) that we didn't hesitate to tour with them again. This company is very experienced at what they do, they are passionate about making sure you have a good holiday. We will certainly be touring with them again in the future.
I could be here for hours writing about the highlights of this tour, so many unique times, places and memories. It all started from the minute we walked into the hotel in New York and saw John the tour director, he had been our tour director on Route 66, 6 years ago, the people on the tour, we all got on well, then the locations we visited. To be standing ...read more 1ft from the water going over the edge at Niagra falls, then standing under the falls where you can almost touch the water, the roar unbelievable, the colour show in the water at night, all the national parks, all the wildlife we saw, black and grizzly bears, moose, elk, bison, prairie dogs, marmots, eagles etc. Standing in Yellowstone while it snowed, overnight stay to experience the sunset and sunrise in the Grand Canyon, then all the small towns. This is definitely a trip for everyone. 5 stars.
An amazing trip - loved new York, nice hotels, some hotels were more spacious than others. No wifi at north rim but that's ok don't need wifi every night. Niagra Falls - great scenery , Chicago was great , tour could've been a bit longer loved to have spent extra nights in Chicago and Yellowstone and maybe 3 nights In Las Vegas instead of two.
