Eastern US & Canada Grand Vacation 4
Eastern Us & Canada Grand Vacation
Jan & Mike, QLD, Australia, Sep 2016
Highlights: Niagara Falls, Old Quebec City, 1000 Islands cruise, Manhattan. Having wifi on the coach in USA. Lowlights: Holiday Inn in Boston. No wifi on the coach in Canada. We would have liked to have had more time in Washington DC as there is so much to see. Coach driver, Chris was excellent.
Fantastic tour of Canada and Alaska 4
Canadian Masterpiece with Rocky Mountaineer & Alaska Cruise
Christine & Bill Emerson, NSW, Australia, Sep 2016
My husband and I have just arrived back from a 19 day Canadian and Alaskan Masterpiece Cosmos tour. We had a fantastic time, met great people and saw some fantastic places. We could not fault Cosmos, everything was excellent our tour guide Brad and coach driver John were very informative about all the places we visited and very helpful on things to read more do and see in our free time. All the accommodation was very good. The 2 days on the Rocky Mountaineer were excellent and we would highly recommend Cosmos. If there was anything that we would suggest to improve this tour is to maybe add an extra few days so that you could spend an extra night in a couple of the places that you don't get a chance to see because you arrive late and leave early the next day.
Interscenic scandi views and awesome educational facts about scandinavia 2
Focus on Scandinavia
Marcy, SA, Australia, Sep 2016
This trip so educational and inspiring on how scandi history placed them as one of the most beautiful countries in the world today. High praises to our trip tour director Milos for being so professional in handling 54 different personalities and cultural background with grace and our very skillful driver Segui (hope i spelt it right) - nobody can drive read more the tricky streets than him. IMO, the highlights of the trips too many to mention as every place in svandinavia is beautiful, unique and different in many ways. I was impressed with the millions of bicycles in Copenhagen, the zealand castles old tapestries the stories behind them; the thousand sculptures in oslo parks, thousands of electric cars and breathing views of the pfords and the story behind the Nobel peace price in Norway; to the old town pieces of history of Sweden and amazing harbour building architectures.... all are mind blowing indeed! T'was a dream come true adventure.... thank you Cosmos for the fantastic journey!
This tour was amazing! Each day seemed to be better than the last with the scenery we saw being so beautiful it was hard to find words good enough to describe it. There was a great mix of experiences with a couple of extra surprises thrown in by our Tour Director, Kristin, who was a wonderful ambassador for Cosmos and the southwest of the USA. The hotels read more exceeded my expectations and I found this was not as rushed a tour as others I have taken. I went in September and the weather was superb, with only one showery afternoon in the whole 15 days, which didn't affect us as we were mostly on the coach.
We enjoyed warm temperatures and bright blue sky every other day. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough and can't wait to try another Cosmos tour. The coach was comfortable and the sometimes windy roads were negotiated skilfully by our driver Ken who was lovely and professional at all times - he even played his Native American flute to us on the last day and stole all of our hearts. I took a Globus tour last year which was also wonderful, and found that even though Cosmos is the budget version of Globus it was every bit as comfortable and value for money.

Sightseeing at its best. 4
Exploring America's National Parks
Jenny Stoeckeler, QLD, Australia, Sep 2016
This holiday was one of the best holidays I have ever been on. The scenery was stunning and the tour guide Darren and bus driver Michael made this tour so much fun. Nothing was too much trouble and I loved that plenty of time was allowed for photos of the awesome scenery and sights. This tour absolutely exceeded all my expectations.
This was a great tour of Central Europe with an excellent guide and local guides. I thought it was amazing what we saw and covered in the time. There was a Globus Tour running roughly parallel with a higher rating of hotels (and higher price) but I was very happy with the ones we had. There were several optional tours not included so budget for them read more if you want to include them.
While generally not big fans of escorted tours, we thoroughly enjoyed the Cosmos Ultimate South America tour which exceeded our expectations. Our Tour Director, Paulo, was exceptional. Approachable, ever willing to help with anything and clearly very capable at dealing with the few issues which arose - all airline caused. Accommodations were clean read more and comfortable and well located where it mattered, with some very good. Overall this tour was very well paced and comprehensive with sensible inclusions. The optional Favela Tour in Rio is a must do as is the Bird Park in Iguassu. The Fiesta Gaucho tour out of Buenos Aires, while seemingly expensive, was a good day out and worth doing. Sugar Loaf in Rio is also a must and can be easily done on your own if you choose to as it’s just a short cab ride from the hotel – and the cable car offers a seniors discount if you have ID such as passport or driver’s licences!
Once again Cosmos lived up to its' reputation. We had a great trip and luckily great weather. This tour takes in a lot. What is good is that you see places you probably wouldn't see if travelling by yourself. The Normandy beaches were wonderful to see and very emotional for most people. It is very fast paced and my only criticism is that it could have read more been slowed down a bit and maybe take a couple of extra days, an example is Avignon. We didn't arrive until quite late and really only had time for dinner. It would have been better if we stayed for the next day as well to see the place properly. The two times we stayed for two nights were so relaxing. Elsa was terrific, nothing was a problem for her.
Beautiful locations, great group to travel and Leo our tour director was one of a kind; witty and informative. Paolo our coach driver did amazing job conquering the European roads and everyone's excess baggage! All hotels were nice and comfortable.
Wonderful Holiday 1
John & Maureen , 3698, Australia, Sep 2016
What a wonderful holiday with Global Journeys and Cosmos - you could not ask for any more on this trip. Very well arranged by Yvonne who we have booked through a number of times and are presently organising a further holiday with her.
A great trip to Spain 1
Narelle & Graeme Minett, NSW, Australia, Sep 2016
Our Cosmos tour of Spain was a great experience. We enjoyed the culture and the history of the country. Visiting locations of historical event we learned about in school was great. While in Pamplona we saw the parade of Giants which was a celebration of the formation of the town, an experience not able to be planned for. The local guides throughout read more our trip were knowledgeable and entertaining. Our Cosmos tour director was always friendly, helpful and quietly efficient. Our trip gave us a taste of Spain and an excellent base from which to plan future trips to the Iberian Peninsula. Yvonne, at Global Journeys, was friendly, handled all our bookings efficiently and was always available to help with any questions we might have had. (Ed. This trip has changed this season, so this review refers to a slightly different itinerary.)
Firstly let us say as usual the bookings Global Journeys did for us was excellent and trouble free, which is what we have become accustomed to. While the 13 day tour is sufficient in length we found the beginning in New Orleans disappointing as aside from a city tour no other tours were included. There were optional tours but as a group our tour guide read more Brenda left us to our own devices. Which can be off putting for people. Same with Orlando - we had 2 days there with little involvement from tour guide. Along our journey we ventured into Chattanooga only to find out everything was shut which was very disappointing, also numerous occasions wrong information was given. Overall we found the trip pleasant but it would have been greatly enhanced with a more involved tour guide.
Love travelling with Cosmos. Perhaps include Lake Bled as included or an optional excursion. Such a beautiful place shouldn't be missed.
Global Journeys handled my booking very well. The tour exceeded my expectations. It doesn't come better than that. Doris our tour guide was fantastic. She was very informative and approachable and the whole tour went like clockwork.
Stress-free Holiday Which Made For A Relaxing Holiday 3
Trans-American Adventure
Garry & Fatima Tyson, QLD, Australia, Aug 2016
Had a great time in the USA with the highlights being the boat ride out to the bottom of Niagara Falls and visiting the National Parks. Our 3rd booking with Global Journeys and will be back for a 4th, have never had any problems!
What an awesome trip, saw everything that I wanted to see and then some. Our tour guide Doris was great made everyone feel part of the tour family even those that were a bit challenging :) As a biscuit tin sampler of the US, I would highly recommend this tour to give you a glimpse of all the USA has to offer. The Cities, The National Parks, The History read more all fantastic. My only very minor gripe was that when on the road the site-seeing was a bit rushed at times mainly due to some food rest stops seeming to be in some odd places and overly long when there were clearly better equipped places with more facilities just down the road, Long food stops leaves less time for the site seeing stops. Overall though this tour was well worth the money, the accommodations were just fine it was well organised.
What an eye opener. The history, infrastructure and scenery. The people are very courteous, helpful and friendly, their public security is great. I can't recall the last time I when felt so secure. We walked the streets at night and felt quite at ease. In the bigger cities there was a strong presents of police. No graffiti and every where was clean read more and tidy. Our only draw backs were ordering meals and a minor issue single beds. Not all had menus in English. This was particularly hard when dealing with a food allergy. Despite a written Japanese notice restaurant staff were reluctant to clear the food content. This was not an issue when the guide was with us as she pushed the issue for us. Most accommodation is single beds with very few double beds available at establishments. Would I recommended this tour a big yes. Would I recommend Global Journeys, once again a big yes. The ladies at Global Journeys were very reactive to my request and pricing was good.
Great trip with a group of friendly, fun and like minded people. 4
Eastern Us & Canada Grand Vacation
Ann & Glenn, QLD, Australia, Aug 2016
Great time of year to travel, because we had not one day of rain. Our accommodation was excellent, especially since the tour was low cost.
Fantastic trip and value for money 5
Eastern Us & Canada Grand Vacation
Julie, SA, Australia, Aug 2016
We had a fabulous time on the Eastern US and Canada Grand Vacation - packed with history and fun things to do. The accommodation was excellent and the Tour Guide Jim Ryan and bus driver Don did a great job. He provided us with many options for things to do during the day and places to eat-Niagara Falls was my absolute highlight but also enjoyed Boston, read more Montreal, Quebec City, Ottawa, Washington. The optional extra tour with the Amish and dinner was a real delight. The free time on our own to explore was appreciated as we have been on other companies tours and found it very annoying when taken to gift shops to fill in the day. Will definitely recommend Cosmos to others - a great value for money holiday!
I thoroughly enjoyed my fourth tour with Cosmos 2
Heart of the Canadian Rockies
Lesley, NSW, Australia, Aug 2016
I thoroughly enjoyed my fourth tour with Cosmos around the Canadian Rockies. Our tour guide, Sibylle, was very knowledgeable as well as personable. One of the highlights was spending longer in the most scenic areas which meant that the pace was slower and gave us more time to explore. My fellow travellers were from Australia, England, US, New Zealand read more and India and were all very friendly. The hotels were very good and well placed for easy access to food.
