Great trip through Israel and the side trip to Jordan (mainly Petra) was excellent. 8
Biblical Israel with Jordan (Protestant Itinerary)
Carol, NSW , Australia, May 2017
I thoroughly enjoyed my tour of Israel and the tour director was fun and entertaining. Our tour left our hotel by 7.45 each morning and didn't return until around 6'ish so it was quite hectic. I would have appreciated if the tour was a day longer with a free day or half day to do my own thing. All breakfasts and dinners were all included in the tour read more cost which was really good.
I was disappointed in the optional excursion to the Dead Sea as this a part of the trip I was really looking forward to but by the time we had lunch and spent time shopping (which none of us were really keen to do) we only had 1 hour to enjoy our experience of the Dead Sea. Also, and my fault entirely, I didn't realise how religious the tour was going to be. I thought there would be a bit of religion as were visiting the Holy Land but it was full on with quite a few extremely religious people on the tour. I should maybe have booked an historical or archaeological tour.
Petra in Jordan was fantastic, but again, my travelling buddies and I, would have enjoyed an extra day in Petra.

Action packed adventure.... enjoyed the National Parks, cities excellent insight to USA 6
Trans-American Adventure
Ross & Sandra, New Zealand, May 2017
The fellow travelers were a good mix, lot of laughs and friendships made my most. We did all but one of the Optionals and enjoyed them all. In regard to the weather it is changeable all over the world so always pack thermals and dress with layers. Disappointed that there was no return bus from the Mall of America this was an inclusion of the tour. People read more had to get 2 trains to return back or taxis. Seat rotation was up to Jason's discretion hence some people got the front seats others were moved out of sequence and missed the front seats twice. Very disappointed and saddened for the elderly people who missed the front seat.
Mystery of China enlightened. 1
Maria, SA, Australia, May 2017
Enjoyed the tour immensely. Would recommend to others who are curious about China. The tour took in the icons of China but was a lot more as it revealed how far China has progressed and how fast that progression is continuing. The Crane (mechanical) is certainly the bird emblem. Our national tour guide - Ivy - was absolutely brilliant and made sure read more we all enjoyed everything on offer.
Thoroughly loved this tour and my tour guide Philip Walker was great as was our driver Jay (Nick name). The tour offered a lot of history about Texas and New Orleans. If your looking for a tour that offers you with a tonne of stuff to do and see then this is the tour for you. History buffs and travellers looking for information about Texas should pick read more this tour to do. Totally enjoyable. Would do again.
A great trip exploring Slovenia and Croatia 1
Scenic Slovenia & Croatia
Chris & Royce, VIC, Australia, May 2017
A well organised trip. Thank you Yvonne for your attention to detail and your communication with us through out the planning stage.
The tour was perfect in every way..amazing scenery and very well organised by Hannah at Global Journeys. Our Tour Director Mihaela went above and beyond in her efforts to make this enjoyable for everyone on the tour.
The mountain roads, the train journeys and the optional excursions were fantastic to experience.

Very well organised from the start with Georgie Walpole at Global Journeys always on hand to answer questions, as this was our first coach tour. Our tour director Sharon was excellent, knowledgeable and kept the tour going smoothly. She went out of her way to be helpful. The driver, Janusz was also fantastic. The tour was paced well, with enough free read more time to do our own thing. We saw so many beautiful sights and felt it was well worth the cost.
Heart of the Rockies 4
Heart of the Canadian Rockies with Alaska Cruise
Teresa & Lisa, NSW, Australia, May 2017
The tour was good overall. The scenery of the rocky mountain was breathtaking, the mountains were covered with snow. The highlight for Lisa and I was the helicopter ride over the Rockies, though was a bit scary when the helicopter dipped down, it flew very close to the mountain top. Riding on the icefield was a new experience. We all got on well as read more a group.
The only negative aspect of the trip was no breakfast included especially there weren't any toaster in the hotels to make toast when we had to be on the road early in the morning. The tour guide did explain that it would have cost more if breakfast was included. I think most people wouldn't have minded to pay extra!
The cruising in Alaska was good. The Holland America Line staff were very efficient and friendly especially the embark and disembark procedures. I thought the on shore excursions were generally expensive in US currency. The entertainment on the ship was ordinary, shopping was pretty good and cheap. The view of the glacier bay was stunning.

Great title 2
Jo, NSW, Australia, Apr 2017
Loved every minute of this tour. Saw lots of Italy and its lifestyles from quiet Tuscany to busy Naples. Our tour guide Ursula was amazing. Great trip around beautiful Italy.
Exciting, stimulating trip, loved so much of it, especially arrival in Munich to blanket of snow in spring. Each country had something new to offer. (Ed: Review based on slightly different itinerary. Trip name and itinerary updated this season)
Great snapshot of Spain and Portugal 2
Lisa , VIC, Australia, Apr 2017
I really enjoyed this tour- well organised itinerary and helpful tour guide. There were some long travel days but they were usually broken up with visits to various medieval towns. Hotels were fairly comfortable, some were a bit old but nearly all were in good locations. The group was a mix of couples, families and single travellers. Overall a very enjoyable tour.
We always book online and have found our trips run very well. Flights and tours go together without problems. Tour itself run perfectly with Ken Hartman at the helm. Perfect time to travel as weather was good and the snow was still melting in places.
A very well organised tour travelling through the Balkans 10
Treasures of the Balkans & Transylvania
Linda & Kingsley, QLD, Australia, Apr 2017
A very well organised tour travelling through the Balkans. Beautiful scenery, incredible history and enchanting folklore. The meals including the themed/organised dinners were entertaining and plentiful and never rushed. The tour itself was well planned and a good pace, we also had ample time to explore with the included activities, optional tours and read more on our own. We were pleasantly surprised at the standard of all the hotels on this tour as we were expecting 3 star but actually stayed in 4-5 star in great city locations.
Our tour director, Orshi, was excellent, she was a young Romanian lady who not only did a wonderful and professional commentary throughout our tour, she also told us of her life as a child growing up in communist Romania. Our driver Bollage was incredible and he made us feel very safe as he skillfully maneuvered his coach along some narrow, steep and winding roads.
A huge thank you to Georgie at Global Journeys for not only booking this amazing tour for us, but Georgie also organised our documentation much earlier than normal as we were leaving Australia two months before the commencement of our tour. Georgie also went out of her way to follow up our past travellers membership which we were having trouble obtaining.

Great Tour with Some Fantastic Travellers 2
Gourmet Rome, Sorrento & Capri
Darryl & Jenne, WA, Australia, Apr 2017
Our experience with Global Journeys was excellent. Hannah kept us up to date with our booking and our paperwork arrived well before we departed which meant we could check it over and research optional tours. Cosmos was also very good and we were lucky enough to have a group of travellers that got on extremely well and we now have several contacts in read more the USA and Canada. The tour inclusions were excellent and well planned. A couple of the hotels were a little out of the way but that is to be expected with a budget tour operator. We would definitely use Global Journeys again and have already recommended them to friends.
The pace was fast but that was expected. The tour guide was knowledgeable, professional and experienced. I enjoyed the trip and gained a wonderful insight into the area.
18 days doesn't seem like enough time to see all that we did - but it was so well organised that the fast pace didn't even matter! Worry free, spectacular scenery - and a great time to go. There's no way to choose a favourite spot, drive or experience as they were all spectacular. Some highlights were the Amalfi Coast, French Alps, Switzerland's Mt read more Titlus, Pompeii .... Coming from Australia in particular, the immense history in every town's architecture was a marvel.
This was our second tour with Cosmos & Globus through Global Journeys. We have really enjoyed them and will continue to book through you all.
The tour as a whole was very good. 35 people all got along very well with lots of laughs. The tour leader was very good. He looked after us very well. Global Journeys was easy to book with. This was my 5 tour with the Globus brand and I would book with Global Journeys again.
Enjoyable Journey in Japan 4
Frank & Pat , WA, Australia, Apr 2017
We thought the trip was well managed though it would have been nicer to be allowed more time in some places and also to have avoided some of the massive crowds at the more well known sites. There were other options that would have been equally as impressive to visit without having to fight the crowds at the World Heritage Sites. Also, to have more read more time available with not such a hectic schedule.
Fantastic journey through Japan 1
Roshani, VIC, Australia, Apr 2017
