Great trip through the heel of Italy 8
Nicole, NSW, Australia, May 2019
This was a great trip with fabulous scenery, a lovely tour guide and skilled driver. The accommodation was mostly fine with one poor hotel. Overall however it was a thoroughly enjoyable tour and the optional extras were well worthwhile :)
Global Journeys was great, would definitely use them again. Not so sure about the Cosmos tour. Itinerary was rushed, optional meals were not good. Most accommodation was a long way out and not very good.
Well paced tour with a great guide 2
Eastern US & Canada Grand Vacation with Extended Stay in New York City
Judy , QLD, Australia, May 2019
Really enjoyed this coach tour. Mark Quido was a great tour guide, enthusiastic, good fun and very professional. I definitely got to experience more of the local attractions than if was touring on my own. Hotel rooms were spacious and well appointed. Tour was well paced and we really enjoyed the 2 night stopovers. It was so nice to meet other travellers and make new friends!!

Good people and good tour and the guide Matt was genuine and generous but kept mentioning tips too much and my bags were misplaced three times on the way to my room?
Wonderful, comprehensive tour of France 1
Grand Tour of France
Anne & Desmond, Victoria, Australia, May 2019
We very much enjoyed our tour of France, especially seeing many of the little villages not normally included on tours. Our tour guide Peter was knowledgeable and made the journey fun & enjoyable, as did our fellow travellers. Our first driver was very skilled and performed some incredible feats in very narrow streets. He was always very ready to help read more people down that last steep bus steep! (A little foot stool would have been helpful to many & made exiting a much safer exercise!)
The accommodation however was not good! When we stayed at Ibis hotels, the rooms were very small & minimally equipped & the meals were uniformly terrible. They were also located far outside the main township's so it was difficult to get to any alternative eating establishments or to investigate the attractions of the towns. As this was a universal complaint of fellow passengers, I am sure they would rather pay a little more for the trip in order to stay & especially to eat, elsewhere, or at least to be situated somewhere where there were alternatives - even fish & chips or hamburgers would have been better! We were so disappointed that we would be unlikely to travel again with them if they could not guarantee "No Ibis!"
GJ. Thanks for your feedback Anne & Desmond. Cosmos do have sister brand (Globus) which does offer upgraded accommodation, generally closer to town and with more inclusions, but then you pay more. Glad to hear with the exception of your meals and accommodation that your trip was enjoyable. All the best.

My husband and I have been so lucky to see and experience all that our tour provided. Each day was different, well planned and extremely enjoyable. Rosie, our tour guide was fabulous, with an excellent knowledge of all areas we travelled through. Kamil, our driver... no other words but extremely skilled. He was always polite and helpful.
The three read more countries we travelled through were all different, with Norway a stand out for us... simply stunning, and I felt blessed to have my sight! This was our third Cosmos tour and it won’t be our last! On finishing I would like to suggest that Cosmos vet their prospective tour members, if the tour is an English speaking tour... no English no go!

Comfort and Beauty 1
Canadian Masterpiece with Rocky Mountaineer & Alaska Cruise
Ian & Margaret, NSW, Australia, May 2019
Everything we saw was at least as wonderful as every photo I had ever seen. Tour was well timed and allowed us to do some independent exploring.
Great times had by all 1
Canadian Masterpiece with Rocky Mountaineer & Alaska Cruise
Sue, QLD, Australia, May 2019
Had the best time, on my second time around through the Rockies. This time with my husband. Highlights of the tour were seeing the plentiful wildlife. I originally did this tour in July/August 2014 and was asked by many people, which season I liked the best. They both had their own magic. Seeing Lake Louise frozen this time around was amazing. The only read more thing I would suggest is that Cosmos offer breakfast each morning on their tours, some of the starts are really early and even a couple of bananas in your room would be appreciated.
The wildlife and their babies were wonderful to see. Whereas from July to August, seeing the salmon swimming up the river and the bears catching them was also magical. So, whatever time of the year you choose to go. You will have a wonderful time.

Whole experience of this holiday was fantastic. From the initial booking to the Tour Guide (Linda), our coach driver (Jason), our adventures along the way... Great vacation.
Amazing places, great organisation 3
Heart of the Canadian Rockies with Alaska Cruise
Livia & Bruno, QLD, Australia, May 2019
This trip was super well organised, the staff all the way amazing, knowledgeable, friendly, helpful in all instances. The hotel choices were quite good, the transport during the land part great, driver and guide very nice. The extras, despite bit “bitter in prices” mainly at the Alaska part, were great and I suggest to get a few of the extras to have read more a better idea.
The ship part was good, expect to come home with extra kilos. Food was great... The Holland America line was great, however it can be a bit confusing in terms of fees that started to be charged daily, so ask about it so you don't have surprises. There were a few attractions and presentations, mini courses, shows during ship trip, but not too many options.
In general it was a great experience, great place to visit, Alaska is magic as well as the Rocky Mountain area. We were surprised with the organisation and a new trip with same group is in our list.

Heart of the Canadian Rockies with Alaska Cruise
L & B, QLD, Australia, May 2019
It was a great trip. One of the best places I've been. Good and bad details but in general great tour, good guide and driver. Food also good..hotel quality OK,basic facilities, some better than others. Cruise was amazing.
Great holiday. Hotels were very good quality although some were in suburbs and not in city centre. Good value for money with inclusions taking us to some very nice attractions. Good choice of optional extras. Repeat customer six times now and would recommend Cosmos and Global Journeys to family and friends.
Beautiful National Parks of America 8
Exploring America's National Parks
Debbie & Mark, QLD, Australia, May 2019
This was a well organised trip that I would recommend to others. Lisa was an extremely good tour guide. The coast driver Randy was excellent. The motels were all good. I believe it was great value for money. Jemma from Global Journeys was a pleasure to deal with. Both my husband and I had an amazing time.
I would travel with Cosmos again, I am pleased with the performance of the tour director and the driver. Hotel accommodation was okay but provided dinners weren't the best.
Had a fabulous time on my 18 day trip around UK and Ireland seeing so many interesting places that were on my bucket list. Would not have been possible without our wonderful and knowledgeable guide Gordon. Big thank you for making sure we weren't left behind anywhere!
As with Gordon our trip wouldn't have been as awesome without the amazing driving read more skills of Georgie, I am in awe!! And you did this whilst looking truly immaculate every day. And finally our tour group was such an interesting mix of nationalities, personalities, age, etc who blended so well to help make awesome and lifelong memories. Thanks to you all.

Majestic Canadian Rockies & Alaska 5
The Canadian Rockies with Alaska Cruise
Dennis, NSW, Australia, May 2019
The hotel in Jasper was disappointing (Marmot Lodge), the food and service in the restaurant were really bad. The tour director and driver were excellent. Fellow travellers got along really well.
This is the third Cosmos tour for us and they never disappoint. Our guide (Todd) was exceptional, I cannot speak highly enough of how he absolutely made this tour. This tour is the perfect mix of cities and national parks - the parks were our highlight.
All accommodation was really good, usually in centre of everything and very convenient. This read more is also our third booking with Global Journeys because they are more economical than booking direct and make it all very easy. Thanks Jemma for organising this for us.

Great value tour to see all the main iconic sites across the east coast to the west coast of America. Fantastic value for money tour and very well organised.
A wonderful tour of the Balkans 2
Treasures of the Balkans & Transylvania
Mohan & Sunita, VIC, Australia, Apr 2019
A thoroughly enjoyable trip to some lesser known destinations. Itinerary was perfect especially tours of Romania and Bulgaria. Most hotels were great except for the Ibis in Budapest and Yantra where the air conditioning didn’t work! The trip provided a good insight into the history of each area through the various local guides and tour director.
Eastern US & Canada Grand Vacation 5
Eastern US & Canada Grand Vacation
Lynn, NSW, Australia, Apr 2019
The only disappointment was Boston and the hotel. It was hard to find my room. The lift wasn’t working and the hotel wasn’t in a very nice area and not close to restaurants etc. My door and the door next door was impossible to open. I managed to get another room which was just as well as the door wouldn’t close.
Our Tour Director and coach driver read more were very good, I think we needed more time in Washington DC. I think breakfast should be included in each city as we were on the move quite early every day. There was a mix up regarding Go-Link picking me up so I missed my flight and had to pay $US 307 to get on the next flight.
