Perfect tour for 1st timers or those who have visited before 1 , VIC, Australia, Jul 2023
I was so glad we went with this tour it covered all the best places our tour guide (Paul) was very engaging and a extremely knowledgeable guide with loads of suggestions and interesting stories. And would highly recommend if this is your first trip to Ireland or your 10th you'll learn things you never knew before.
Irish Discovery 3 , NT, Australia, Jun 2023
This was an excellent tour that exceeded our expectations. With Tom as our Tour Director and Donie at the coach wheel, we were in good hands every step of the way. We learnt the history, saw the sights, were touched by the culture and totally blessed by the weather. Ireland is one place on planet Earth that we would come back to .. without a doubt.

Loved this Ireland tour and thanks to Georgie of Global Journeys for her wonderful service. The weather in late August was ideal and we loved the visit to the both the South and North of Ireland especially Giants Causeway, Cliffs of Moher and Belfast-great itinerary offered by Cosmos.
Tour of Ireland 5 , QLD, Australia, Nov 2019
Beautiful place, but way too much time spent shopping and not enough time spent looking at heritage sites and the countryside.
Fantastic trip to Ireland 2 , TAS, Australia, Oct 2019
I booked an 8 day trip around Ireland. It was easy to book, the tour guide and the driver were excellent. They were highly knowledgeable, approachable and very caring. The hotels were on the whole very good, and the extra activities were excellent fun and value. I learned a lot about Ireland, its history and its current situation. Could not have asked ...read more for more. Thanks Oshan and Graham for a wonderful trip.
Wonderful Ireland, wonderful trip 2 , VIC, Australia, Oct 2019
This was our third Cosmos trip and we have again enjoyed it very much. It was seamless from the booking, to payment to arrival in Dublin for the beginning of our trip. The hotels we stayed in were great with a wide variety of breakfasts on offer. The optional extras we chose were good value for money.
First time traveller total ease and fantastic care 3 , QLD, Australia, Oct 2019
The tour guide was funny, informative and helpful. The driver was great and funny and friendly. The tour was brilliant. The scenery was beautiful, the castles, the stories coming to life when you visit the places. Went at start of October and the Emerald Isle smiled on us with weather and temperatures. Do not let people talk you out of this time of ...read more year. Less tours so not too crowded.
Tour of Ireland   3 , WA, Australia, Sep 2019
Phenomenal time, tour director was a hoot and full of such interesting knowledge of the whole country!! I travelled alone so was apprehensive however the group I was with was from every age group and we all mixed together well. I'm already planning my next trip!!
Cosmos Irish Discovery Tour 2 , QLD, Australia, Sep 2019
Our experiences on this tour were very positive. Our tour director was well spoken, polite and enjoyed a good sense of humour. His knowledge of the colourful history of Ireland and its people was extensive and enriched our enjoyment of the tour considerably. Our driver too was very good at his job and most helpful. The hotels we stayed at were all of ...read more a high standard and the included meals more than adequate. Some of the optional activities seemed somewhat expensive but most were worthwhile. Our local Belfast guide was exceptional and we enjoyed magic weather for our Dingle Peninsula and Ring of Kerry tour. All in all a great tour with companionable company.
Irish Discovery 0 , Australia, Sep 2019
The trip was fabulous. Our tour guide, Peter, was great. Very informative, made things come alive and made the trip so enjoyable. All the passengers got along and we all had fun. The optional tours were fantastic and a must to do. Would definitely book with Cosmos again.
Great tour   0 , VIC, Australia, Aug 2019
This was a great tour from start to end. The time spent on the first and last days in Dublin weren't enough to explore this beautiful city. I would recommend adding 2 more days in Dublin.
Wonderful tour of Ireland 0 , NSW, Australia, Jul 2019
I absolutely loved this tour. Ireland is so beautiful. Our tour guide Julian Cleary was so knowledgeable and entertaining. I liked the way we were free to do our own thing on some of the excursions. Hotels were great.
Great well paced tour 0 , NSW, Australia, Jun 2019
All good from first booking with Global Journeys. Great well paced tour. Value for money. Excellent hotels. Great and knowledgeable guide. Excellent driver with well maintained coach.
Great trip all over Ireland covering all main attractions 4 , WA, Australia, Jun 2019
Best tour we have been on. Lovely group of fellow tourists all keen to see the main attractions. The tour was at a good pace with plenty of stops so not on the coach for longer than 2 hours at a time. Scenery was beautiful. Meals provided were better than previous tours with this company. Accomodation was better than anticipated and in town.

The ...read more guide, Liz, was very informative but also very helpful with suggestions on where to eat and shop without being pushy. We really liked the variety of things to see and do. Our driver was also lovely, helpful and a laugh. He even bought us all lovely fresh strawberries & homemade biscuits. He also drove carefully & helped everyone down out of the coach that needed assistance.

Amazing tour of Ireland   1 , VIC, Australia, Apr 2019
Very well organised booking service, always there ready for my queries. Friendly and very helpful staff that suited my needs.
Great tour guide and a hassle free tour 1 , NSW, Australia, Mar 2019
We did this tour for my partner's 50th. It not only met expectations but went above. Would recommend it to anyone wanting a hassle free tour of Ireland and would use Cosmos for further tours. Hannah from Global Journeys was very patient and helpful and I hope I can get her next time I am travelling.
Irish Explorer in December 2018 was excellent 4 , NSW, Australia, Dec 2018
Everything went smoothly - even the weather was not too bad, despite predictions of wet, cold and foggy. We even saw the sun on several days. The tour was excellent. Although it was more of a scenic drive, Dominic the tour leader gave us heaps of historical information on just about every village, town and city we passed through. He was very knowledgeable ...read more and had researched the itinerary well. Grahame the driver was very good - safe and polite on every occasion. Both were English, would you believe.

Despite the fact that people believe that Cosmos chooses hotels well away from city centres to keep down costs, we were surprised to find that several of the hotels were within walking distance of shops and restaurants and were of a generally high standard. The daily breakfasts on tour were very good with plenty of choice and the dinners were huge! The only negatives were that a few hotels were on busy roads or near roundabouts so the traffic noise was loud. I am an insomniac which doesn't help. Next time I will request a quiet room away from the main road but didn't think of that when booking this time.

We booked all the optional excursions (too expensive), but they were very good and we were glad we had booked them. The singer on our final night was disappointing (Taylor's Irish Night) but the food was excellent. The singer seemed to have lost most of his front teeth which made him very hard to understand (despite his Irish accent!). The bonus for us was that all the streets and shops were decorated for Christmas and everybody (both residents and tour participants) were in a festive mood.

I would highly recommend Cosmos and more particularly Global Journeys for the high level of service provided by Georgie. Many thanks to all.
