Great trip thanks for organizing everything. Everything went like clockwork, not one hicth. Tour director (Gavin) was superb and the coach driver (Clive) was brilliant the way he drove the coach on some of those up country roads. Thanks a lot.
Overall a great trip 7
Murray and Diana , New Zealand, Jul 2017
The Baltics & Scandinavia trip was very good. Warsaw, the Baltic countries & Russia are amazing. The old town centres are picture postcard. We spent time in Scandinavia before & after the tour. It is a beautiful part of the world. Our tour had 42 people which was quite large. Would have been nice to have a few less as meeting so many new faces took read more time. Our tour guide had her hands full with such a large group. She worked tirelessly to ensure the smooth running of activities & extra visits. Meeting new people was a real highlight though as we have normally traveled by ourselves. Their were some seasoned travelers (some had done 3,4 or 5 cosmos tours before). Overall a great trip.
Some days there was a lot of driving & because of health & safety you were unable to move about the coach.Their was a toilet on board (it was tiny). We were discouraged from using it. Don't think it was ever used. Our courier fitted in as many comfort stops as possible.
It would have been nice to have an extra day in a few places but we new the itinerary before we left. 16 days was probably long enough for the tour as it was fairly full on. Some early starts. There are extra activities (and extra costs) such as visits to castles evening meals out. They do add up so do your sums (some are quite expensive & probably in hindsight not good value for money).

Amazing Parks and Canyon tour 6
Exploring America's National Parks
Wendy & Ian, NSW, Australia, Jul 2017
Had a great time on this trip especially seeing Bryce Canyon, Zion and Yellowstone. Enjoyed meeting a lot of new people from other countries. Accommodation was generally good and our coach was very comfortable. Most of the optional excursions were worth the extra money but found the Snake River Float way too long and expensive. We found Global Journeys read more very easy to deal with, as we booked this trip very late and nothing was too much trouble.
Well planned trip through Americas National Parks! A must! 8
Exploring America's National Parks
Christine, VIC, Australia, Jul 2017
A really well planned trip by Cosmos. Tour guide and especially driver were really friendly and smart enough to arrange special additional stops if we were doing good time. And what really stuck out for me was the quality of people Cosmos attracted. Really lovely people that had travelled Cosmos before. As you know there's nothing worse than travelling with awful people!
The 14 day Cosmos tour of the National Parks and Canyon Country in the U.S was amazing. I enjoyed all the sites that we visited. I would have preferred to spend more time within nature at the parks and places of interest rather than move on so quickly. Time spent in nature would have been more restorative and perhaps given more opportunity to observe read more wildlife. The allocated time at some places of interest was too short to take in/or see all that was on offer e.g Buffalo bill Museum at Cody.
Overall an amazing trip and offered all that was promised. The optional excursions were all a treat and thoroughly enjoyable. The coach and bus driver were excellent. The accommodation was excellent - probably exceeded my expectations.
I found the tour guide O.K. There was an incident involving other guests which impacted other members of the group. I feel that the tour guide could have managed this situation in a more timely and assertive manner. Also, the return flight (Las Vegas-Los Angeles) was delayed which meant staying in los Angeles another night. This complicated the travel back home. Overall a great trip. I would like to do it again....and spend some extra time!

Majestic Canadian Rockies & Alaska 3
The Canadian Rockies with Alaska Cruise
Denise, ACT, Australia, Jul 2017
I had an amazing time. The tour director and coach driver were excellent. Really enjoyed this holiday. This was my second trip with Cosmos and both trips have been more than expected. Madeline at Global Journeys has been wonderful to me. I am not good with computers and she helped me out. Just checking out next years holiday! I'm sure it will be as great as the last two.
So much history. 4
Debbie & Mark, QLD, Australia, Jul 2017
The tour saved us so much stress, it was perfect and we loved the history of all countries. There was nothing that wasn't fabulous about the tour.
I would recommend this trip for anyone wanting to get a real feel for Ireland. I travelled with my 84 year old mother and found this trip accommodated every age group from the young to the old.
Trip Baltic States, Scandinavia &Russia 3
John, NSW, Australia, Jul 2017
This tour was very good. The first four days were long but we saw a lot. The days crossing the Russian border were long due to delays of 3 & 4 hours at the border. Accommodation and included meals were very good. The tour leader was helpful and informative. Overall the tour exceeded my expectations but it would have been good to spend another day in Stockholm.

What a fantastic tour. 2
Peter & Carole, WA, Australia, Jul 2017
What a fantastic tour, a wonderful country to visit. The optional excursions were incredible & well worth the extra costs. This was our 4th Cosmos tour & certainly won't be our last. From go to wo - from booking with
Yvonne at Global Journeys to the end of our journey - the trip was faultless.

Awesome tour...inspiring and educational. 4
Gerry V., NSW, Australia, Jul 2017
As in life, our travel experiences in this tour will be different for everyone and you make the best of it. We were fortunate that "making the best" out of our tour was made easier by our highly efficient and hard-working tour director Ausra. She has done her best and more to make sure that everyone was kept happy and all issues sorted out...not an read more easy feat for such a big group like ours. Thumbs up to Ausra- my "dream" tour guide. How Darius (our driver) managed to maneuver on all those narrow streets and alleyways in Berlin to avoid traffic was an experience in itself...nail-biting. Overall, I had ball with this tour and with my tour buddies...highly recommended. Special thanks to Yvonne for organising and making this trip a reality for me.
Amazing trip to Spain Portugal and Morocco 5
Spain, Portugal & Morocco
Elizabeth, Richard, Heather & Lilian , New Zealand, Jul 2017
We all had such an amazing tour. We enjoyed every aspect. We took advantage of the optional tours but not the dinners and live shows ..which allowed us the evenings to relax. It is very difficult to decide on any highlights , but probably our tour guide, the optional tour of Toledo and the included tour of the Alhambra Complex stand out for us.
We read more did enjoy having free time in most cities we visited, and always our tour guide would go over possible places we might like to visit, places to eat and shop, and how to get to and from our accommodation. He also gave us his phone number and assured us help was only and phone call away if we needed it. Fortunately, we never had to but it did reassure us. Our tour guide was amazing , called Angel, his knowledge, humour and care for everyone on the tour really bound our group together.
It was a hot time of the year to travel but we did manage and it was lovely to have the tour bus always ready to pick us up at the appropriate times , with the air conditioning switched on. I cannot recommend this tour enough... thank you to Global Journeys for the bookings, nothing was a problem.

Wonderful trip through Great Britain 4
Grand Tour of Britain & Ireland
Caryl, VIC, Australia, Jul 2017
We had a wonderful time with an excellent guide and a very good bus driver. A small group namely only 18 people on a large coach so had plenty of room to spread out and it also made for quick stops for viewing sights or photographing sites.
Lovely Holiday 9
Canadian Masterpiece with Rocky Mountaineer & Alaska Cruise
Lucy & Richard, WA, Australia, Jul 2017
Had a lovely time on holiday travelling with a great group of people by coach through Canada and cruised Alaska by ship along the Inside Passage. Found the Canadians so welcoming and friendly wherever we went. Travelled in July which was their summer so we were lucky to have good weather for our trip. Loved the time on board the ship with no problems read more having an inside cabin. It was a relaxing time with good entertainment, great food and wine. Would not hesitate in recommending it as an enjoyable scenic holiday to anyone.
Seven Countries, Venice and Paris 5
Seven Countries, Venice & Paris
Salve & Thelma, NSW, Australia, Jul 2017
This tour of seven countries plus Venice and Paris was absolutely fantastic. We really enjoyed our everyday activities, our tour director was excellent, our driver was good, the places we saw were stunning and we are looking forward to booking our next holiday with Global Journeys. This tour made our holiday dreams become reality. Thank you so much read more Jemma Rosen for organising our trip.
Excellent trip to South America 1
Brazil, Argentina & Chile Unveiled with Brazil's Amazon & Peru
Julie & Malcolm, QLD, Australia, Jul 2017
We have travelled with Cosmos tours previously and been very happy, and once again this was the case. They had put together a comprehensive tour of some of the highlights of South America, and while we would have loved more time in some of the areas the distance between them and our time restraints didn't allow this. Cosmos allows you to combine read more several tours to come up with your own personal trip. The guides were excellent and well able to provide that extra care if and when required. The way the tour was structured in Peru was well thought out and certainly gave us the opportunity to acclimatise to the altitudes and I am not aware of any of our group suffering any major problems. We will certainly be booking another tour with Cosmos in future.
A truly scenic holiday 3
Alpine Adventure, Bernina & Glacier Express
Ron & Lyn, 6008, Australia, Jul 2017
We thoroughly enjoyed our Swiss adventure. As expected some of the accommodation was below expectations but you take the good with the bad. We only had 14 passengers on the bus which allowed for plenty of room and we were always on time so relatively stress free compared to a full bus load of passengers. The Swiss Yodeling Night was over priced and read more the food very poor so I would not recommend this optional activity. The optional tours up the mountain were spectacular but perhaps only do one of the two offered. Our guide and driver were exceptional.
Fantastic holiday, great experiences 1
Alpine Adventure, Bernina & Glacier Express
Ruth & Michael, VIC, Australia, Jul 2017
Jemma Rosen did an excellent job with our holiday booking. Jemma was exceptionally quick with emails and replying to any questions. Without doubt she is the very best travel agent we have ever dealt with, because of her effort our 2 tours and flights went so smoothly . We had a wonderful holiday and would recommend Global Journeys to everyone. Thank you so much Jemma.

This is another excellent Cosmos holiday, well planned, well priced & executed with professionalism. I could not fault it in any way.
