Well organised Northern Netherlands tour 3
Best of the Netherlands
Patricia, TAS, Australia, Apr 2019
I was very happy with this tour. The tour leader was very knowledgeable, competent and thoughtful. Everything was very well organised and interesting. I thought it was very good value.
We had the best time, everyone on board the coach was friendly. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative. The coach driver was very experienced and gave you a good sense of security, the coach was always clean and tidy and very comfortable.
The highlight of the trip if we had to only pick one was the Neuschwanstein Castle, it was perched read more on a rocky cliff below snow capped mountains. It was just like a fairy tale with views down into the town below with an interior that needs to be seen to be believed.
We have enjoyed all 4 Cosmos trips that we have been on and would happily recommend Global Journeys to our friends and family.

Everything went to plan. Cosmos and Global Journeys worked together to create a memorable holiday of a lifetime. Accommodations were very comfortable and the porter service was added value as we didn't have to worry about our luggage.
Coach was very comfortable and both driver and tour guide were professional making our tour run smoothly. I would read more definitely rate it 10 out of 10. Many thanks to Jemma our travel consultant for helping me with all my endless questions... well done Jemma.

Could not be happier with our Tour. We can honestly say we had the very best, most eloquent, thought provoking, persuasive, inclusive, trustworthy and knowledgeable Tour Director, John Shaw. John made this Cosmos adventure unforgettable.
When I first started booking this tour I had trouble with our home internet - NBN was a horror. It was through read more Global Journeys that I was able to arrange our trip. Jemma Rosen not only did the job she had to do, but she went out of her way to make the process as easy as possible - answering numerous emails & calls - nothing was too much trouble - so Thank You Jemma - you are a credit to Global Journeys. Your integrity and honesty are irrefutable.

Journey through Japan 8
Dennis & Robyn, NSW, Australia, Apr 2019
Our trip was organised expertly - we had a fabulous time, hotels were good, our tour guide Rumi was fantastic and had expert knowledge of all areas of Japan. She looked after us and made sure we saw all that we could in Japan. We contemplated travelling Japan on our own but I am so glad we changed to the tour - we saw far more than we could have on read more our own. This was the second Cosmos tour we have taken and we have found them extremely well run and we would recommend them to anyone.
Very well organised booking service, always there ready for my queries. Friendly and very helpful staff that suited my needs.
Well organised sightseeing 2
Brazil, Argentina & Chile Unveiled with Peru
Sundaram & Padmini Vellore, NSW, Australia, Mar 2019
Our tour was run by Cosmos. The accommodation was good and our tour guide was very good. Most of the time we had to manage our own food. Sightseeing was well organised with local guides. Global Journeys did a good job organising our booking.
Best trip to South America with full satisfaction. The trip went smoothly and the accommodations were really good. Through out the trip the guide was good helping all along.
Great trip through Northern India 5
George & Cynthia, QLD, Australia, Mar 2019
We experienced a great trip through Northern India, with so many highlights it is too hard to mention any one as a standout. The Taj Mahal was a wonderful sight at sunrise followed by the Agra Fort. The forts were amazing and the Palaces were an insight as to how the rich lived years ago. The Ancient Agrasen Ki Baoli as well was a real surprise along read more with the jeep ride to the desert tribe. We loved Udaipur, it was our favourite city with all the lakes.
Ultimate South America with Brazil's Amazon 1
Ultimate South America with Brazil's Amazon
Angie & Peter, QLD, Australia, Mar 2019
Our Ultimate South America with Brazil Amazon extension tour was so amazing from the beginning until the end of our journey. It was our fourth tour with Cosmos and we were so impressed with how the schedules were properly planned and well organised. We're very happy with the included excursions this time but some optional excursions were not really read more worth the money we paid for as we took/purchased all the optional excursions offered.
We were so blessed to have an excellent tour director, Mauro Rubinstein. Our local guides were very enthusiastic and knowledgeable especially Charo, Harry & Moses. South America is such an awesome place to visit. We just cannot pick & choose as to what will be the highlight of the tour. Every place we've been was such a life changing experience.
So many memories to share, places to see and the hospitality of the local people. We highly recommend this Cosmos tour, South America and the Amazon is a must see place to visit. Also, a big thanks to Georgie Walpole at Global Journeys for making it possible for us to enjoy a stress free holiday.

We did this tour for my partner's 50th. It not only met expectations but went above. Would recommend it to anyone wanting a hassle free tour of Ireland and would use Cosmos for further tours. Hannah from Global Journeys was very patient and helpful and I hope I can get her next time I am travelling.
Spain, Portugal and Morocco tour 3
Spain, Portugal & Morocco
Jacqueline & Jose, NSW, Australia, Mar 2019
It was a good tour, tour guide and driver were excellent. Accommodation was not bad, some options on tour were not good especially the dinner. The show was good but the food was not what I expected. Too many tour guides came in and out and that made for confusion, so many of them that five of us got lost as we didn't know who to follow. Anyway, thanks to Paulina.
We really enjoyed travelling in Morocco in Jan 2019 with Cosmos Tours. This tour captures the essence and breadth of so many different places in Morocco. It is a truly exotic, colourful and welcoming country ..... don't leave it on your bucket list: visit it and you will be won over by its beauty / culture.
Our tour director, Anne and coach driver, read more Mohammed were excellent. They made the tour special and really worked hard to cater to everyone's requirements. We really enjoyed meeting such interesting and inspiring fellow travellers. One cannot go travelling and still come back the same person .... we would recommend this tour to you, our family and friends!
We would really like to acknowledge Madeline from Global Journeys who has been a wonderful help and very supportive in all of our travel preparations. It's a true pleasure and privilege to visit such wonderful places.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour very much. Guide & driver were very good. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.
Accommodation good, dinner at Sorrento left much to be desired, but the hotel was good. A big thank you to the other members of the tour, as I was quite slow at times, tagging along behind them. But there was always someone lagging behind to make sure I did not go astray. Alex the guide was good too, and so was our driver. To have travelled to places read more I've only read about was a highlight, St Peters square Christmas day, Paris for New Years Eve. Snow sprinkled on the fir trees, and up the mountain side, coming out of the tunnel from Lucerne. A once in a lifetime trip, and special thanks to Sherry and daughter Ashley, who booked through Yvonne.
We traveled during the Christmas holidays, which worked well with less crowds. We visited some amazing coastal villages. The food was wonderful and George as the tour guides was very experienced and helpful to everyone. The accomodation was truly excellent. Highlights for us included Cuenca and Collioure. We highly recommend it.
Everything went smoothly - even the weather was not too bad, despite predictions of wet, cold and foggy. We even saw the sun on several days. The tour was excellent. Although it was more of a scenic drive, Dominic the tour leader gave us heaps of historical information on just about every village, town and city we passed through. He was very knowledgeable read more and had researched the itinerary well. Grahame the driver was very good - safe and polite on every occasion. Both were English, would you believe.
Despite the fact that people believe that Cosmos chooses hotels well away from city centres to keep down costs, we were surprised to find that several of the hotels were within walking distance of shops and restaurants and were of a generally high standard. The daily breakfasts on tour were very good with plenty of choice and the dinners were huge! The only negatives were that a few hotels were on busy roads or near roundabouts so the traffic noise was loud. I am an insomniac which doesn't help. Next time I will request a quiet room away from the main road but didn't think of that when booking this time.
We booked all the optional excursions (too expensive), but they were very good and we were glad we had booked them. The singer on our final night was disappointing (Taylor's Irish Night) but the food was excellent. The singer seemed to have lost most of his front teeth which made him very hard to understand (despite his Irish accent!). The bonus for us was that all the streets and shops were decorated for Christmas and everybody (both residents and tour participants) were in a festive mood.
I would highly recommend Cosmos and more particularly Global Journeys for the high level of service provided by Georgie. Many thanks to all.

Central Europe - a fantastic holiday with Cosmos 3
Central Europe
Jane & David, VIC, Australia, Dec 2018
Had a fantastic holiday with Cosmos. Experiencing the lights and markets of Central Europe, hotels, tour director, bus driver, other travellers were all first class. Would highly recommend this journey. Georgie Walpole once again arranged the booking for us, thank you. Definitely will use Global Journeys again.
The tour director and local guides were very knowledgeable and spoke very clearly. Our only gripe was that the seating rotation was not implemented and our tour director did not do anything to implement or assist. It was really disappointing to be always be seated at the back just because of our mobility issues.
The Cosmos Best of Italy tour was extremely well organised and executed. The communication right from the word go by Madeline Lewis from Global Journeys was absolutely brilliant, and we were also very impressed with the tour arrangements such as confirmation of tour, information on the tour etc. provided.
10/10 for our tour leader, Jian Luca. He read more was a wealth of knowledge, great personality, very vibrant, entertaining, fun and very competent. He had great attention to detail to make sure that he could provide anything we might have needed. In addition, the driver, Stefano, was very competent and about the best we’ve experienced. The local guides were also brilliant. Five star plus.
We loved the entire tour. The program was intense but not overly. Always something of interest, but with enough down time. Very well planned, and the opportunity to see quite a lot of Italy. All the accommodations were clean and comfortable. Each had its own charm.
Our overall rating of the trip is 10/10. We'll highly recommend it to the people we know. The itinerary is excellent because it encompasses all the regions of Italy. Thank you so very much Cosmos & team for having arranged the magnificent trip we took!!
