19 Day Canadian & Alaskan Masterpiece 4
Canadian Masterpiece with Rocky Mountaineer & Alaska Cruise
Donna , NSW, Australia, May 2019
We cant speak highly enough of our total experience. Jemma Rossen at Global Journeys has been absolutely amazing. We are first time travellers and she made the whole trip stress free and answered everything we threw at her. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend Cosmos too.Daniel Wilson is the most incredible tour director - we cant also praise him enough.
An amazing holiday 3
Canadian Masterpiece with Rocky Mountaineer & Alaska Cruise
Rodney & Carolyn, SA, Australia, May 2019
We had an amazing holiday, we would recommend it to anyone. The Rocky Mountaineer train in Silver Leaf was all you needed and the service, food and drinks were excellent. The scenery and wildlife on the train and coach was great to see.
Our tour guide Sharon from Cosmos was brilliant and made the whole journey one we will remember forever.
The read more cruise up the Inside Passage to Alaska was also excellent with glaciers, mountains and more animals and the meals and service onboard could not be faulted. All in all we will remember it for a lifetime.

Had an absolutely wonderful time on this tour from booking to the end of the tour every detail was looked after. Saw wonderful sights, attended great optional tours, stayed great hotels. My tour director Judy was the best I've had, nothing was too much for her to do. Our driver was experienced interactive. Great tour all round, recommend for sure.
Majestic Canadian Rockies and Alaska. SPECTACULAR! 6
The Canadian Rockies with Alaska Cruise
Shelly & Yvonne , NSW, Australia, May 2019
Every where you look on this trip from the moment you set foot in Canada you are surrounded by postcard views. This is a "must do" tour. The bus touring was a joy.To see grizzly and black bears, moose, goats, sheep from the coach made for an exciting time, helped by our great driver Derick who would stop and go back for us to see better. The travel read more was not too fast and the accommodation was all good, (could do with USB ports). The whole trip, coach and ship was a seamless operation. Can highly recommend this trip to all and all ages, you won't be disappointed. We went in May /June the end of winter, got the best of both seasons.
A busy but really interesting tour especially the Amalfi Coast and Sicily 2
Gourmet Rome, Sorrento & Capri
Jan & Alan, NSW, Australia, May 2019
This was a tour of contrasts - the wonderful history and culture of Rome and the amazing scenery of the Amalfi Coast and Sicily. The tour split at Sorrento when some people returned to Rome with the original tour director and more people joined us with a new tour director. We would have preferred to keep one group constant for the whole tour.
Hotel read more accommodation was very good, a standout being the Hotel San Michele at Anacapri, where we had a magnificent position overlooking the sea, and the whole island of Capri was breathtaking. Sicily was so beautiful! We enjoyed the overnight ferry crossing from Palermo to Naples, the hilltown of Erice was charming and such fun to ride up in a cablecar, and Taormina was very pretty, the Roman villa at Piazza Armerina and the Greek temples were stupendous.
We had quite a bit of rainy weather but we still managed to enjoy all the sights! The drive around the Amalfi Coast was stunning. Well done to Cosmos for an enjoyable tour! And Georgie at Global Journeys made our bookings with efficiency and friendliness.

Hannah from Global Journeys was fantastic. Great holiday, plenty of time to enjoy our time in Ireland. Our tour guide Tom was the best and made the holiday so enjoyable. Lots of laughs. Tour group were great too.
Once again, we thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Cosmos - the itinerary was fantastic and we visited some wonderful places and towns. While a very fast paced tour, we saw a lot and overall had sufficient time to take in the most important sites. Very pleased with the accommodation used throughout the tour and great English breakfasts included.
Our read more Tour Director, Suzie, was one of the best we've ever encountered and provided us with the background and history of every town and site we visited. If you want to get a taste of what England, Scotland and Wales has to offer - this is the tour. Booking with Global Journeys was very easy and Hannah has always been very efficient and keeps us informed about our trip.

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!!

Eastern Us & Canada Grand Vacation with Extended Stay in New York City
Simon, NSW, Australia, May 2019
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.

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.
