Dixieland Rythmns and Blues Tour   3 , Victoria , Australia, Sep 2019
This being our very first tour, it was very good. Our Tour Director (Melanie Wagner) was very good. The coach driver (Jonathan) was very good and we felt very safe with his driving abilities. The tour over all was about the right time, although a couple of places we could have done an extra day, as it was very fast and short. The only complaint is the ...read more Inn of Chicago was a little tired as the room was looking old, the carpet needed to be replaced as it had holes in.
Dixieland & Rhythms 2 , WA, Australia, Jun 2019
I would be happy to tour with Globus again. Highlights were the St Louis Arch, Nashville and Gracelands. Our accommodation was excellent.
Great trip if you love music. 6 , NSW, Australia, Sep 2017
If you love music then this holiday is for you. Hotels were comfortable and the upgrade to the Graceland Guest House was perfect, Cosmos should offer more music options in Chicago as there are many blues related facilities which were never mentioned and we discovered by ourselves. Recommend additional days to explore.
Recommend a baseball match in ...read more St. Louis, great night. Paddle steamer cruise in New Orleans was average for a farewell dinner. Still think breakfast should be included as it makes the morning starts a lot easier.
Wonderful for Elvis fans, like myself!   9 , WA, Australia, Jun 2017
This tour is an excellent one for lovers of country music, rock, rhythm & blues and jazz. It's especially wonderful for Elvis fans, like myself! The pace is not an easy one; for example you have to negotiate many steps at the Gateway Arch, so a good level of fitness is required. Most of the people on this tour were in their 50s, 60s and early 70s. ...read more At 73 years, I was the second oldest. Consider myself reasonably active but don't think I would want to have done this tour in say, a couple of years from now. Some days, particularly those in Nashville and Memphis, were rather tiring, especially if you were doing the optional tours as well.

My group consisted of 27 Australians, 7 New Zealanders and 2 Brits. Suggest would-be single travellers think carefully before opting for shared hotel accommodation. Our tour guide, Brenda Brooks, was one of the best, as was driver Larue.
Dixieland Tour 7 , Qld, Australia, Oct 2016
Peter was likely the best tour guide we've ever had. His initiative and genuine commitment to ensuring our enjoyment, including extensive knowledge, stories, music and even costumes were first class. Only criticism is the over the top preamble speech that Cosmos makes all their tour guides give re tipping.
Fantastic and stress free trip through the middle of the USA 4 , QLD, Australia, Jul 2016
This was our third tour with Cosmos and it definitely met all expectations. We had a great tour group with a good mix of nationalities and made lasting friendships. Our tour guide Brenda was very informative and our driver John was extremely professional. I have already recommended this tour to friends at home. Highlights were Nashville and the honky ...read more tonk bars and Graceland. Would definitely use Global Journeys again. Thanks Yvonne.
Grest trip through middle USA 4 , VIC, Australia, Nov 2015
Had a great time travelling with Cosmos on the Dixie Land Rhythm tour. Chicago was amazing and the tour guide Kristen and bus driver Rick really eager to help and really nice people. Loved the tours of RCA and Sun recording studios and anybody who lived through the music of the 60's will find the tour amazing. A great trip to see more of the USA ...read more other than the big cities. Highly recommended and thanks to Georgia for all her help in booking this trip. A big thanks to Global Journeys.
Friendships were formed for life. 6 , NSW, Australia, Nov 2015
This is the first time that I have joined a tour group. I have preferred previously to travel independently. Our Tour Guide Kristen was very welcoming and made us all feel at ease. The ages were varied from 26 to 78 with music being our common interest. We ended up being a very cohesive group. Friendships were formed for life. The tour far exceeded ...read more my expectations. We went to many places that were not mentioned in the itinerary. All of these enhanced the already amazing itinerary. Our driver Rick was an excellent driver and always delivered us safely to our destinations. Kristen was extremely knowledgeable which made the tour special for me. Kristen had a really lovely manner and was able to get everyone to arrive promptly each day for our early starts. The tour took us to places that would have been other wise be unknown to the average traveller . The variety of places we went to were excellent and pleased every genre of music. Chicago, Nashville and New Orleans were an absolute surprise and I would love to travel back to these places on another tour. I am very keen now to do another tour with Cosmos in 2016 of the National Parks of USA. I highly recommend Dixieland and Rhythms to all music lovers.
We thoroughly enjoyed all of it 3 , VIC, Australia, Sep 2015
Our tour with Cosmos was absolutely fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed all of it. Chicago was fantastic. We loved going through Nashville and visiting The Grand Ole Opry at night. Brilliant. Memphis and seeing Graceland was so good. Even the train ride from Memphis through to Hammond, Louisiana was interesting...seeing cotton fields etc. We loved the ...read more Cajun dinner and dancing in Lafayette. Lots of fun. New Orleans was very interesting. A whole new world there. The music in all the bars were fantastic. Loved the food too. Overall - a great experience with a great Tour guide and bus driver too. Thank you Cosmos.
Very comfortable accommodation, great tour guide 0 , QLD, Australia, Mar 2015
Our tour guide was very informative and provided sufficient commentary for the tour. Our bus driver was very professional and helpful. We took many of the excursions and these met our expectations. Our accommodation was very comfortable.
Excellent value for money tour 5 , WA, Australia, Nov 2014
Excellent value for money tour. The towns we visited were great. Chicago was terrific and we had 3 days beforehand which helped. We didn't do any excursions here but all good. Our hotel was less than helpful when it came to accommodating us not having to change rooms as we arrived 2 nights earlier, even though I had been in contact before leaving Australia. ...read more Plus Brenda said they were supposed to accommodate us so that was quite disrupting. Nashville for us, not country music people normally, was above expectations. The Grand Ole Opry was a memorable and engaging experience we will cherish for ever. Memphis was good though a bit of an anticlimax, except Graceland which was fabulous, following Nashville. We were both very surprised by the presentation at Graceland, it really brought out the person of Elvis, not the marketed person. Simply great! We are also not huge Elvis people but loved everything. The Civil Rights Museum we went to could have Been offered in Memphis but not everyone's choice no doubt. We felt that the Cajun Sensation was a let down. We were coached there, seated, orders taken then a quick dance, fed and then off again. For us we would have preferred to have had another day in New Orleans instead. As it was, we gave our Swamp tour tickets away as we wouldn't have seen any of New Orleans otherwise. 3 nights a minimum needed here. The Tour guide, Brenda, was great. Very informative and very flexible and really wanted us to get the best experience possible, which we did. Our driver, John, was a gem! He went the extra in many ways and accommodated different people graciously. Value for Money, diversity of experience, pace of tour were all met and we would highly recommend the Tour to anyone.
Another great tour 0 , Australia, May 2014
Another great tour. Loved it all and will refer. Hotels were great. The service in the New Orleans hotel left a little to be desired.
Had a great time and our tour guide was excellent 0 , Australia, May 2014
We had a great time and our tour guide Karen was excellent. I had expected a more casual paced tour but we were on the go most of the time. What really made the trip for us was the wonderful mix of fellow travellers. A big thanks to Yvonne again for helping us organise this trip.
Our first coach tour and we were not disappointed 0 , Australia, May 2014
What a wonderful experience. This was the first time that we had booked a coach tour and we were not disappointed with the whole tour. We did a lot of things that I don't think we would have experienced if we had been solo travellers. The best part of the tour was the people we met it was a great mix of nationalities and ages which made a good mix. ...read more Our tour guide Karen was fantastic relaying a lot of knowledge and history about the places we visited. This will not be our last coach tour. A big thanks to Yvonne for all her help putting this holiday together.
Exceeded my expectations by 100% 1 , Australia, May 2014
Cosmos tour are regarded as a budget tour. I must say this tour, the tour guide, the driver, the bus and the hotels exceeded my expectations by 100%. The tour guide Hillary was much much better than the expensive APT tour guide (Gem of the Rockies and Alaskan cruise). Would definitely do a Cosmos tour again. Global Journeys - excellent service and communication ...read more by Yvonne Brooks and will definitely use Global Journeys again. Thank you Yvonne for everything.
This tour was by far the best I've been on 0 , Australia, Sep 2013
Thank you Georgie for organizing our tour for us. We had a wonderful time. I would recommend this tour. Our Tour Director Peter Visceglia was wonderful. I have been on other tours with other companies but this tour was by far the best. Thank you Global Journeys.
The Grand Ole Opry and Jazzfest were experiences of a lifetime 0 , Australia, Apr 2013
This tour is hard to beat. Some of the inclusions such as the ticket to the Grand Ole Opry and Jazzfest featuring international stars such as Billy Ray Styrus, Billy Joel and Cliff Richards was an experience of a lifetime. I have travelled with Cosmos before and this trip maintained their high standards. I would recommend this to others without hes ...read moreitation.
