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.
Disappointing overall 2
Susan, QLD, Australia, Jun 2023
We had many problems on this trip from having to change drivers because our first driver was dangerous and kept fighting with the tour director, to constantly getting lost, getting in very late and not seeing what the itinerary promised us. The tour director didn't give enough information about the places we were and although having been doing it for read more 10 years, did not seem to know that much about what to expect in each place. She was disorganised and everything took way longer than it should have. All that being said, we did see some lovely sights, with Crater Lake being the absolute highlight and we were blessed with beautiful weather for the most part. This has probably put me off ever using Cosmos again.
Dealing with Global Journeys was so easy and Toni our travel agent made the booking process hassle free. The tour itself was a great insight into Italy and a fantastic way of seeing all of the highlights. Our guide Gianluca was fantastic. Only negative I would mention is the accommodation in Rome - very poor first hotel and the last hotel in Rome was read more just too far from the city centre, so I recommend not booking additional nights at the hotel once the tour ends. Overall a fantastic tour with a great guide and great group of people.
We thought the trip was good value for money. Accommodation and associated meals were extremely good. Tour Director, Jane & bus driver Robert we’re professional in every aspect.
Our tour of Ireland and Scotland was amazing. We could not have hoped for a better tour director. Finola was so knowledgeable and went the extra distance to ensure were fully informed at each stop. Where to find the local food and interests etc. Hotels were mostly good - a few a bit too far from the township. Coach nice and comfortable although read more we requested our driver, Tony, drive a bit slower through the bends and turns. Only disappointment was Belfast - we arrived just before dinner and left the next morning with no opportunity to visit the Titanic Museum. We did all the optionals and loved them especially the Jaunting Cart Ride in Killarney. I would definitely recommend this tour.
The best tour we have had with Cosmos. The tour director (Marcos) was brilliant who knew the tour "backwards" and his incidental information for us travelers was precis and easy to understand.

We had the amazing tour director Serena who made our trip so much better. 25 in the group was a great size and everyone got along well and some life long friendships were made. I would recommend everyone to do the Canadian Rockies tour it was amazing and the sites were absolutely stunning.

Jenny and Maree, NSW, Australia, Jun 2023
Thank you Cosmos. I can honestly say that this holiday was the one of the best. Loved every minute of it. Heather our tour guide was fantastic, her organisation and knowledge was the best!! And to Neil our coach driver, thank you for keeping us safe. I’d do it over again!!!
This trip was far more than we ever expected. Our driver Adrian and hostess Shelley helped to make this special. Every corner of Canada is an Ooh or Aah moment. The accommodation was fair comparable to the cost of the tour. We loved that no meals were included so we could do our own meals during this tour. This is the third tour I have booked through read more Hannah and she makes the process so easy an explains the process from start to end clearly so we know what to expect.
Each city visited was interesting, amazing and full of history. Despite the long driving days, there was always a tour of the city as well as enough time to explore independently. The Salt Mines in Krakow was a highlight for us whereas Auschwitz was a haunting and sad experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
Amazing Holiday 4

Sharon and Lesley, QLD, Australia, May 2023
I had an amazing experience with Cosmos. The experiences and incredible scenery were amazing - from the Rocky Mountaineer to our coach tour to our Alaskan Cruise. Our tour guide, Tarek Sabet was so informative and helpful, going out of his way to oblige us on tour. So many highlights to mention - seeing bears, elks and deer, glaciers, our hotel accommodation read more which was excellent, our coach driver Nelson who was also very obliging and an excellent driver. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone. Amazing, beautiful trip. Still raving about it. Lasting memories, would definitely travel with Cosmos again.
I enjoyed this tour immensely with the highlights being Yellowstone, Jackson and Mount Rushmore. We managed to spot a bear, a moose, elk and bison so the wildlife was there and the scenery was just spectacular. I really recommend doing the optional float trip down the Snake River. Lots of people didn't do it because they thought it wouldn't be very read more comfortable but it was fine and to me the highlight of the whole trip. Our tour guide Ken was really knowledgeable and with our driver Ricardo they made an excellent team.
Sensational Alpine Tour 4
Alpine Adventure, Bernina & Glacier Express
Denise, QLD, Australia, May 2023
This was the 2nd of 3 tours I booked with Georgie at Global Journeys. There are not enough superlatives for the scenery on this tour. This tour really sells itself: the mountains, lakes, trains, cable cars; all wonderful. Every day was different. There were 42 people on this tour, I was the only solo traveller. Again, quite often in the hotels, I had read more a single bed in a small room with barely enough room for my suitcase on the floor. However, clean rooms and hot showers and usually fabulous breakfasts made for a pleasant stay.
Very good, organised Tour Director Zsofia and coach driver Michele. We were very impressed by the prompt action Cosmos took in organising a temporary coach and driver to meet us off the Glacier Express to drive us to Lucerne. Michele and the coach were held up by a fatal traffic accident only an hour after leaving Tasch. We were fortunate that the cities in Switzerland are close together and that there was a spare driver and coach in a nearby city awaiting the start of a tour who could assist.
My favourite area was the Dolomites mountains. Other favourites: in St Moritz we were provided with a free local transport card and used this to travel by local train then cable car to La Diavolezza - lots of snow and fabulous photos. Lucerne was beautiful and Turin was a pleasant surprise. I highly recommend this tour - just go!!

The Cosmos tour Italys Best was just that. A great tour, lots of interesting places to visit which was very well organized by the tour guide. The hotels were all good, although the first & last hotels are usually out of the way, which in this case was true. It was an "on the go tour" , up early, breakfast and on the road. We walked many kms on lots read more of cobblestones and walked up many steps. Lots of highlights which were too many to pick out a favourite, just beautiful little villages or magical places like the Isle of Capri or Lake Maggiore.

Judith and Ian, SA, Australia, May 2023
From booking with Global Journeys to travelling with Cosmos it was very good, sadly the hotel in Vancouver was not the best. But Sharon our your director was very knowledgeable about the whole journey, she was very considerate to us all. All the places we stopped at overnight were good. The Rocky Mountaineer trip was fantastic not to be missed.

Elaine & Wayne, WA, Australia, May 2023
Wonderful trip through the Rockies. Our guide Renato was fantastic, full of knowledge of the area and very helpful. Doug our driver was wonderful, always making sure our luggage was always there. Magic cruise through the inside passage and the Glaciers. Cons: Sandman on Davie in Vancouver was not a good area to stay in.
Amazing Alpine Adventure! 1
Alpine Adventure, Bernina & Glacier Express
Morgan and Dana, QLD, Australia, May 2023
My wife and I spent part of our honeymoon on a Cosmos tour, the "13 Day Alpine Adventure, Bernina & Glacier Express". From the very start, we were warmly welcomed by our tour director (David) and the rest of our group. Though it was a big tour (45 of us in total) we really enjoyed getting to know everyone - they were all friendly and happy to chat.
The read more tour itself was incredible. Over 13 breathtaking days, we travelled the mountains and valleys of Italy and Switzerland (briefly in Germany and Austria) with incredible food, tours and overnight stays. One quick tip - make sure you get enough sleep! The tour can be tiring if you're falling behind on rest. We both loved our experience and will definitely book with Global Journeys and Cosmos again!

Mohan and Sunita, VIC, Australia, May 2023
We had a thoroughly enjoyable trip. Each day brought amazing highlights and a feast for keen photographers. Itinerary was well planned to enable us to visit/ see from the Alps to the Dolomites travelling through various countries.
If you are looking for a excellent in depth history of cities visited and like visits to churches, cathedrals, statues, paintings, museums & ruins, etc , this trip is for you, however expect many hours on the coach driving along main highways in heavy traffic with trucks. First day was 8 hrs, every couple hours a comfort stop at service stations so read more expect a 20 min line up for toilets with a full bus load.
Also expect at many major sights pushing through crowds of tourists lots of buses there. The hotels we OK but most way out of town, hard to find dinner options. Included meals were very average , but you get what you pay for with trip price. Also after Covid you have to get your luggage from the bus and return to bus, that's ok but when checking in to your hotel you have 46 people as on our trip with large suitcases trying to get in a small lift most times, it takes about 1/2 hour to get to your room, same when leaving. Expect a lot of walking at times. If you're after a scenic back roads leisurely tour, this trip is not for you.

It is our third time booking with Global Journeys with special mention to Georgie and everything was excellent with regards to arranging our bookings. We have no hesitation in recommending this company. We just finished our Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland tour with Cosmos. Beautiful countries and the scenery are spectacular. Accommodations are read more great with breakfast everyday. The only downside now in Cosmos is they removed the hotel porterage, it means we have to drag our luggage's from the coach to the hotel. Most of the travelers are in their 50’s including us. We are considering not to travel with Cosmos again.😃
