Rosa, our guide was excellent in all respects. Have done 5 cosmos trips and she tops all other guides. Mix of people were good. We were the oldest couple but that was no handicap. Enjoyed holiday and would travel with Globus family again.
The above tour was overall a very good tour and we recommend it. We had some long days on the bus, but that was to be expected. The mix of passengers was interesting but we all got on very well and had a great tour. We visited some great cities and all the excursions we did were certainly worth the effort and the extra cost. Our guide, Maja Goronjic, read more was exceptional and she certainly put the time and effort in to make the tour successful.
7 Day Rome, Pisa, Florence, Verona and Venice trip 5
Rome, Florence & Venice
Venetia & Cedric, New Zealand, Jun 2018
We were greeted at the hotel by a lovely man at reception. He made us feel welcome. We were really hot and tired and the room was beautifully cool when we entered. We noticed a note from our Tour Guide when we entered the hotel so knew what time we were going to meet. Jorje was delightful. He managed to explain everything and made one feel very welcome. read more He seemed more excited about our trip that we all looked. He was incredibly knowledgeable. It was very hot - at least we could buy cold water from the lovely bus driver. The areas where we visited were very busy but we managed to see everything. One hotel had a swimming pool which was very welcome.
Very pleased with my 9 day tour around the coast of Ireland. Great tour director and driver and a good mix of passengers. All hotels were lovely, with the exception of one, but it was only a couple of small things there. We got very lucky with the weather, as it started off cold and wet but just got better every day. I would do another tour again and read more may look into going on another one soon, but for my 2019 holiday.
Trip of a lifetime 1
Canadian Masterpiece with Rocky Mountaineer & Alaska Cruise
Ashley, SA, Australia, Jun 2018
Canada was fantastic, Alaska was absolutely outstanding, stunning and beautiful. So glad we added the Rocky Mountaineer instead of a coach for our Canada leg, well worth it. Highlights for me? Banff, Glacier Bay, and Ketchikan.
Toured June/July 2018.This was our second trip with Cosmos and we weren't disappointed. If you are looking for a lively tour that shows you much of what the UK has to offer this tour is highly recommended. Our coach driver, Alistair, was very skillful and showed great professionalism throughout the trip in his ability in maneuvering our well appointed read more coach in some very tight situations. Our tour director, Annmarie, was also very knowledgeable in both the history, sights and tales of all the areas we visited. Her organisational skills meant we avoided the large crowds and enjoyed the sights that much better.
The meals provided were of good quality and quantity, and the hotels, whilst not usually in the "middle of town" were of a mixed variety. They ranged from modern brick, a/c buildings to rooms in old stately buildings with varying standards of inclusions within each of these properties. If we had a complaint, it was that during our trip the UK was having unseasonably hot weather and the hotels didn't cope with this at all. There were no fans available and in many cases the windows were incapable of being opened - meaning very uncomfortable sleeping conditions, but the positive was the washing dried o'nite! Another thing we found was that the Holiday Inn London Kensington High Street was extremely expensive and had very small rooms but was in a central location.
The optional excursions were mostly of a very good standard and they complemented the overall tour. One thing that might add to the tour's charm is possibly a bit longer in Wales, especially in the Snowdonia region.
We found the tour group very easy to get along with. It was a large group of 47 people from Australia, NZ, USA, Canada and Hungary who all wanted to see and do as much as possible on our trip. The booking process with Global Journeys was one we found to very easy and stress free. Madeline was in contact with us throughout this period and also ensured we were informed of the late hotel change prior to starting the tour.

It was very well organised and our tour director Katarzna was great. I knew it would be a busy tour, I think maybe it could be a few days longer. Possibly a night in the Dordogne area and a night in Provence.
A Grand Vacation Through Eastern US and Canada 2
Eastern Us & Canada Grand Vacation
Peter & Mary-Anne, NSW, Australia, Jun 2018
We have just returned from a second Cosmos trip after travelling on a 15 day-tour through the Eastern US and Canada. We had an amazing time visiting various tourist attractions of 10 US and Canada cities. There was a lot to learn and absorb during the visit: the American history and the role each visited city has played, the unique character of each read more city of the Eastern Canada.
Most of the hotels were located near or right in the middle of the CBD. All were clean and comfortable for overnight or 2 nights-stays. Our Tour Director, Becky is an exceptional woman who was helpful and knowledgeable about US and Canadian history. She performed beyond her duty to bring us many anecdotes and cheerful thoughts during the bus trip. Nelson, our bus driver had a good sense of humour and always welcomed us with a smile when we entered or left the bus.
Overall, we quite enjoyed the trip and will do the Cosmos tour again in the future. I would also like to thank Jemma at Global Journeys for smoothing out the booking process and letting our vacation to start with no hiccups.

Our Trip to Greece and the Greek Islands 4
Greece & Aegean Islands Cruise
Marg & Raymond, VIC, Australia, Jun 2018
We booked our holiday online with the help of Juliet and could not have been more happy. She made it easy and we were off on our holiday to Greece. We were picked up at the airport and from then on we were looked after. The tour of Greece was so interesting and we were amazed how beautiful Greece was. After 8 days of travelling by bus we boarded a read more ship and stopped each day at a different island. The whole tour was excellent hotels clean and comfortable and as it was our first time on a ship we were pleasantly surprised. We do recommend this trip.
This is a holiday with everything taken care of. The destination, hotels, toilet breaks, luggage, etc. are well organised. Booking with Global Journeys was smooth and on time. Due to the distance covered, it was a bit tiring.
Big European Tour 6
Paula & Andrew, WA , Australia, Jun 2018
Very busy tour, even though we sometimes had 2 nights in one place, we usually did not arrive until very late afternoon, so left very little time to explore in lots of places. We found on this trip we had to buy a lot of the extra tours just to see the places we wanted to, as the time was very tight. Disappointing that they no longer take you inside read more the Colosseum in Rome, you now only view from outside.
Hotels were all pretty good, included meal in Lucerne was terrible, can only say it was equivalent to Ikea Café meal. Food in German Hotel was the best, very good. Verona and Carcassonne were surprisingly nice. Would have liked more time in Nice, either Monte Carlo or Nice, no time to see both. All main tourist places very busy, even though not peak season, would go earlier or later again. Good crowd on the coach, all got along well and had fun together.

Beautiful trip to Canadian Rockies & Alaska 5
The Canadian Rockies with Alaska Cruise
Lucy, NSW, Australia, Jun 2018
Was a very great trip - the tour guide Serena for the land component of the tour was excellent and she was incredibly knowledgeable, caring and accessible.
Alpine adventure 1
Alpine Adventure, Bernina & Glacier Express
Jacqueline & Jose, NSW, Australia, May 2018
We enjoyed our trip thanks to Nadine and Livio our tour guide and driver. It would not have been possible with them. Thank you!
There are so many highlights about this trip it is hard to say which was the best. All I can say the trip was a very good one and what we saw was out of this world. Our tour guide and driver were great they looked after us and the knowledge our tour guide was just great. I would recommend this trip to all my friends.
The tour was pretty good but very tiring, I think they could cover a little less distance and more time in less places. The accommodation and meals were good. Some of the optional excursions were a little expensive for what you get. Overall not a bad tour if you can take the pace. The transfers were excellent.
Great trip & saw a lot of country 14
The British Isles in Depth
Wayne & Julie, QLD, Australia, May 2018
We had a wonderful tour and enjoyed the informative commentary provided by our Tour Director Martin. He was always friendly and attentive as was our coach driver George. We had a great mix of people, easygoing, and friendly which made the tour heaps of fun. The places we saw were amazing and the tour made accessibility very easy for all. A 2 night stay read more in Ireland offered a great laundry service 20 euro a bag full, use it.
In general we liked the tour however in some cases we were expecting better excursions especially those that were optional.
The trip was great, our guide Davor was absolutely fantastic, friendly, cheerful, funny, an absolute delight. I made some lovely new friends. The tour was action-packed and we finished each day exhausted but extremely happy. Eastern Europe is so beautiful, I thoroughly recommend it, in addition I thoroughly recommend Cosmos also.
Fabulous tour of Eastern USA and Canada 3
Eastern Us & Canada Grand Vacation
Rhonda, NSW, Australia, May 2018
As a previous Cosmos customer, I was confident that our tour would be everything we hoped for but my friend had never been on a bus tour before and was a bit reticent. However she soon realized how worry free it would be and was pleased with the standard of the accommodation. Our guide, Hiliary, turned out to be the best I have ever had. After a tour read more of New York, we went to Boston where our local guide was a delight. We were all charmed by Quebec City and Montreal. Highlights were breakfast at a sugar shack, the Thousand Islands cruise in sunny weather, spectacular Niagara Falls, dinner at an Amish farm, the museums of Washington DC and historic Philadelphia. Georgie at Global Journeys was a great help with our visa queries, as always. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour.
First we would like to thank Leanne at Global Journeys as always on her professional way of organising our trip. All our queries were always replied to on the same day and travel docs arrived earlier than the common time frame. For the tour, speechless, so many highlights, not only the scenery!
We were lucky to have a talented, knowledgeable & thoughtful read more young travel director. When I was struck by vertigo, she kept caring and asking me even after I was fine. If she sensed something went wrong with a guest, even if the guest tried to keep it to herself, Ausra the Tour Director would come to offer assistance. The Driver, Helge, oh my... a very expert driver even for a winding, narrow street. We all felt safe because of these 2 people.
On the tour, for us every stop had its own beauty. Our favourites were: Santa Claus Village, Nordcape, Trondheim. But other places were also stunning. The places in the brochure sounded strange, but towards the Norway parts we saw fjords, waterfalls, a salmon farm in the fjord, stunning.
The included breakfasts and dinners were mostly high class, i.e. from Scandic group hotels, Hotel Geiranger. Most hotels were clean and modern, only 3 were old, but no complaints as we only stayed for one night. Conclusion: Beautiful countries to visit without any doubt and they had rare beauty. Highly recommended.
