We had an absolutely amazing holiday, couldn't be happier with the tour we booked through Global Journeys starting with Jemma Rosen who booked our holiday and helped with any questions I had. The Cosmos Majestic Canadian Rockies tour was perfect with 2 day stays in Vancouver, Banff, Jasper, Whistler and Victoria all with great accommodation. Tour highlights read more were Lake Louise & Ice Explorer. We travelled in August and had perfect weather. Our tour director Neela and driver Neil were amazing, that made our holiday very memorable. Our coach was always on time thanks to the great group of people we had lots of laughs. Loved the coach tour. We cruised on Holland America's Nieuw Amsterdam - beautiful ship, great food but we were disappointed in the lack of entertainment onboard. My cruise highlight was Glacier Bay.
Very good tour. Two nights in lots of places, plenty of time to explore. Cosmos offers really good value tours and all accommodation was pretty good. Some better than others but we have no complaints. The scenery on this tour was magnificent and our August tour had perfect weather. Offered some great highlights and good laughs with tour group. Cruise read more to Alaska is a must do. Time to relax and indulge! Glacier scenery was magical. See it all before it is too late. Highly recommend Cosmos. Booking with Global Journeys made it all so easy. Thank you Jodie for keeping us informed along the way. Will book with you again.
Everything you want to do in the British Isle 7
The British Isles in Depth
Sue & Angelo, NSW, Australia, Jul 2019
Our In Depth British Isles tour was wonderful. We had thirty three wonderful companions, and a tour director whose knowledge and humour was a delight. Our driver was excellent and made us feel very safe on some very narrow roads. We have not been on many coach tours previously, just two, but we soon realised we would have missed so much if we had of read more gone down the path of doing our own thing this time. Our journey was very smooth indeed. The only negative comments would be some of the hotel rooms being incredibly small and a few odd buffet dinners left a lot to be desired. In the end, I would recommend Cosmos and Global Journeys without any issues.
This was my first time on a coach tour and it won't be my last. The pace was quick but our guide made sure we saw the best and made the most of every minute. We didn't have to worry about a thing, and only had to focus on enjoying ourselves. Our guide in particular was very knowledgeable about European history and politics. She also used her extensive read more experience to get us to locations before the crowds, making sure we were well prepared.
Grand Tour of Britain and Ireland 6
Grand Tour of Britain & Ireland
Jeff & Elizabeth , IL, United States, Jul 2019
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour with Cosmos. Our tour guide (Andrew) and coach driver (Steve) worked extremely well together. The sights we saw were nothing short of fantastic, but Andrew added so much more with his commentary and stories along the way! We did all but one optional excursion, and they were all excellent. These optional excursions added read more so much more to our trip!
Probably the only complaint we had was not being able to spend enough time in some of the larger cities, but I guess that comes with the territory as we needed to be on the road to our next destination. I would not recommend staying at the London Novotel West. Our room had no air whatsoever (i.e. it was broken), it had a broken mini-fridge, and the room had an overall dirty feel to it. To be honest, we couldn't wait to leave our room at that hotel each morning. Aside from that one hotel, the others on our journey were perfectly fine.

Hassle free holiday 2
Canadian Masterpiece with Rocky Mountaineer & Alaska Cruise
Mallika & Wimal, VIC, Australia, Jul 2019
It was a hassle free holiday we had after a long time. The tour was exactly what we expected. We are really happy with how it was organised. We feel that we wouldn’t be able to cover what we saw during the tour if we were on our own. Thanks so much for that. The Tour Leader Jody and the driver Peter were two wonderful people who were so knowledgeable, read more professional and lovely to be with. We would not hesitate to book another holiday with Global Journeys.
Everything was so precisely done, except one hotel accommodation. That was the Delta hotel by Marriott, the room given to us was soooo noisy due to a faulty air conditioner, and our night's sleep was ruined. It was like a train going inside the room. The Holland America Cruise; it would have been ideal if the cost was quoted including the compulsory gratuities, so that we could do our budgeting easier. Food was nice compared to our previous cruises. Cruise entertainment was not so impressive especially one comedian out of the two, and apart from that everything was professionally done.

Wonderful Canada & Alaska adventure 3
Canadian Masterpiece with Rocky Mountaineer & Alaska Cruise
Jo-Anne, QLD, Australia, Jul 2019
The tour was an adventure everyday. The train, the coach and cruise were equally memorable. The scenery was picturesque. We saw emerald green lakes, eagles, bears, orcas, seals, whales. We even saw elks in the Main Street of Banff. Even though we had a number of one night stopovers on the coach leg of the tour it was at an easy pace. Jemma at Global read more Journeys made the booking side of our adventure easy. She was easily contactable and always replied to any query promptly.

Canadian Masterpiece with Rocky Mountaineer & Alaska Cruise
Laetitia , NSW, Australia, Jul 2019
Our coach tour director, Judes, was fabulous. The group that we travelled with was full of fun and very inclusive. It was easy to book through Global Journeys. Hannah was very helpful and responded to questions very quickly. The trip itself was amazing! Visiting Canada (BC and Alberta) and Alaska has been on my bucket list for a long time, and this read more trip ticked all the boxes. I saw black bear catching salmon in the wild, went on a sled ride with the huskies, up in a float plane in Alaska and a helicopter flight in Banff. Seals, Otters, and Bald headed eagles are a common sighting in Alaska.
Everything is just so, so very beautiful. Glacier Bay in Alaska is a special experience. I would definitely recommend that people upgrade to Gold Leaf on the Rocky Mountaineer - what an experience! Thoroughly spoilt whilst travelling through some of the most beautiful scenery that the world has to offer. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone planning to visit this part of the world. Very good value for money.

Very good tour through Canada & Alaska 2
Canadian Masterpiece with Rocky Mountaineer & Alaska Cruise
Jayantha & Sujeewa, VIC, Australia, Jul 2019
For my wife, we requested a disabled bathroom (shower chair, toilets and shower area hand rails). We got them only in some hotels, and in some hotel rooms there was not enough space to use the wheelchair. There wasn’t any microwave ovens and kettles in most of the hotel rooms. When we had to make our own breakfast it was hard to do without a microwave. read more We are happy to mention our Tour Director Judes Douglass and Peter Smith the coach driver, they were so helpful and very professional about their jobs. Overall the tour was very good. We enjoyed it.
An amazing, beautiful and unforgettable experience we had on the Focus on Scandinavia tour with Cosmos. The highlights were the Fjords in Norway and hassle free bookings with Global Journeys with the help of Yvonne. Sure we will plan for another trip soon. Our tour director Anna Losonczi and Csaba our tour driver did a wonderful job. Our tour went so read more smoothly. Thank you for all the job well done.
We thoroughly enjoyed our coach tour of the Rockies. Booking online with Global Journeys was very easy and efficient. On the tour our guide Dan was very knowledgeable, not only about the area in which we were travelling, but he also gave us lots of information about Canada generally, all the while keeping us entertained with music, DVDs and the occasional read more quiz. Our driver Keith was courteous, helpful and always cheerful, but most importantly, a careful driver.
We loved how this tour had four free days which broke up the routine of early starts and sometimes long days on the coach. Those long days though were well paced with frequent stops. The accommodation was excellent with one exception being the Sandman in Vancouver. Some guests had good rooms, others not. Ours was small with no fridge or microwave. The air conditioning was noisy. The location of the hotel was good, however. We fully recommend this Cosmos coach tour.

We had a great trip of Spain, Portugal & Morocco with Cosmos. Very well organized, could not find any faults. The Tour director and our bus driver were great.

Carol, NSW, Australia, Jul 2019
The trip surpassed all my expectations. Every day was a new and beautiful part of Canada that got better and better. The Cosmos tour was fantastic. It showed us so many hidden gems and I would recommend this trip to anyone wanting to experience western Canada and Alaska.
Exceptional holiday to Canada and Alaska 2
Canadian Masterpiece with Rocky Mountaineer & Alaska Cruise
Julie & Anne , NSW, Australia, Jul 2019
We had a wonderful, well organised holiday through Canada and Alaska. A coach full of only Australian tourists, who, apart from 2 people, all continued on the cruise. Great friendships made and good times had by all.
I could not fault this trip.. so well organised, professional in all aspects! Our guide was beyond knowledgeable he was fun helpful and really took care of us. It was an experience I will never forget!!
I am so so pleased I found Global Journey’s .. would highly recommend. Thank you so much

This was by far the best trip we have taken with Cosmos. The tour was well planned, the tour leader (Judi) was brilliant giving us all heaps of info, telling us the quickest away to get to places etc. The driver was the best, never stressing in the heavy traffic and even got off to remind a car that he was in the bus lane.
This trip was my first overseas experience and it was fantastic. Elaine Wright the tour director was fantastic and was extremely knowledgeable and had everything and all 43 travellers organised and on time every day. Mike the driver was great as well. The scenery in the Rockies was fantastic and no photos actually do it justice and I enjoyed the tour read more and the company of the other travellers so much. Would definitely recommend Cosmos in Canada again.
Great short tour 2
Rick, WA, Australia, Jul 2019
Toronto to Toronto. Lots of highlights but Niagara Falls the standout. Cosmos put together a great tour. In hindsight could have ended the tour in Montréal and linked into our Rockies tour from there. Montréal back to Toronto is just backtracking really, but tour director Susan was so entertaining and enjoyable to be with it made it a worthwhile trip read more back. For us this was the ideal trip to add to our Rockies and Alaska tour, just took a flight to Vancouver and it linked in well. Perfect weather all the way as well. July/August is a good time to go.
Highlights of Slovenia and Croatia 3
Scenic Slovenia & Croatia
Jim & Jennifer, QLD, Australia, Jul 2019
The 8 Day tour of Slovenia and Croatia was fast moving, 2000+ kilometres in 7 days, but nonetheless amazing and spectacular. Highlights included the huge Postojna Caves, Split and the beautiful Dalmatian Coast, Dubrovnik, and the Plitvice Lakes National Park, and we loved Ljubljana even if we couldn't quite get the pronunciation right. Our tour leader, read more Oki, did a good job. Oki was very organised, and needed to be because of the fast pace of the tour. Thank you Yvonne for finding this tour which allowed us to see Croatia tagged onto the tour of Ireland.
Wonderful tour of Spain and Portugal 3
The Best of Spain & Portugal
Kim & Brigid, WA, Australia, Jul 2019
This was the 3rd Cosmos that we have done and as usual it was very well planned and executed. Everything was taken care of, the hotels were good and we saw as much as we could in the time period. The tour Director and Driver were great. Loved seeing Madrid, Porto and Salamanca and all of the stops in between. The walking tours of the old cities were read more amazing - so much history. Thank you to Jemma at Global Journeys - always there to help along the way. We will be organising our next one in the next 10 months or so. Thanks again.
