The best road trip ever! 2
Fee, New Zealand, May 2016
I had the time of my life, visited places Ive only ever dreamed about. I did so much in the 27 days on tour. Some of the places I visited would've been hard to find had I arranged my own travel plans. l made new friends and new travel buddies! Our tour director Truus and bus driver Paolo were absolutely amazing. Ive already started looking into doing read more another tour with Cosmos and bringing more friends with me. I cannot wait for my next journey with Cosmos for another great adventure!
Global Journeys online bookings were very good and would choose them again. We were very fortunate with the weather and would recommend spring time for this tour. Accommodation and meals supplied were very good. Tour guide and fellow passengers very friendly and got on well together. There were too many great sights and places visited to pick one out read more above the rest. A couple of days for me were too long, travelling too far. The on board toilet was permanently locked, preventing any access.
Cosmos 19 day Canadian and Alaskan Masterpiece 4
Canadian Masterpiece with Rocky Mountaineer & Alaska Cruise
Jan & Mike, QLD, Australia, May 2016
Our tour director Mark was passionate about showing visitors his Canada. He gave us good advice about optional excursions and what to do in our "spare" time while on tour. He also gave us good advice about post tour possibilities.
Accommodation was overall very good. The coach driver, Peter, was also very good and always helpful. The Rocky Mountaineer read more Silverleaf exceeded our expectations. The hosts were attentive and entertaining. Unfortunately, our experience on the Volendam did not meet our expectations when compared to other cruise lines. The itinerary for cruising the Inside Passage was good. Glacier Bay was awesome. We liked Canada and have already booked another Cosmos tour for the East coast in September.

More things off my bucket list 3
Diane Kearney, WA, Australia, May 2016
What an awesome holiday. Ticked a number of things off my bucket list - The Great Wall of China, Terracotta Warriors and the Yangtze River. Our tour had only 19 people, which was a great size. Grace was an absolute joy and nothing was too much for her. She went out of her way to ensure we had what we needed and always willing to translate for us - read more especially what food we were eating! The local guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. Would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a snap of China.
Journey Through Japan 6
Charlotte Douglas, Australia, May 2016
Our journey through Japan was a great adventure. We criss-crossed the country in the comfortable coach as our guide talked to us about Japan. Tokyo is a massive, vibrant city with shops and restaurants on at least three different levels - the underground, the ground level and the upper storey level! One of the highlights of the trip for my husband and read more I was the Gasso-Zukuri style thatched roofed houses at Shirakawa. It was a beautiful scenic place with wonderful views of the mountains.
As we travelled about we couldn't help but be amazed by the stunning scenery of the forested mountains and the verdant valleys. Apparently, there are ten thousand tunnels in Japan, so they are true experts in the skill of tunneling! Also, the infra-structure is way ahead of Australia with most roads built on pillars well above the ground. Another highlight was to visit the Pearl-diving at MikimotoPerl Island and to learn the process of pearl cultivation. Another wonderful place was the Floating Tori Gate and Itsikuskima Shrine.
Hiroshima was a somber experience as we walked through the Peace Park and went into the Museum. On the last day we had a great, full day as we went on the boat at Lake Ashi and the aerial car was a memorable experience as we were packed into the cable car! At the top were the most spectacular views and we had so many breathtaking views of Mount Fuji. Our mix of fellow travellers was good and the number of twenty was spot-on as it allows you to get to know most other people. It was good accommodation throughout and the rooms were extremely clean and tidy.the breakfasts were excellent and one of the highlights of the day!!! It was a great time of year to travel as the weather was kind and warm mostly, with just the one rainy day. Our guide was informative and friendly. It would have been nice to have welcome dinner to meet our fellow travellers and one or two dinners just to get together as a group. However, it was most enjoyable and We will continue to book with you as you make it so easy for us. We are already looking forward to our tour of Spain this September! So, we thank you again for a great holiday!

A special journey through the south of France 2
Jim & Jennifer Johnston, QLD, Australia, May 2016
First time on a coach tour anywhere. The 8 Day Discover Provence was an experiment for us. Would we enjoy a coach tour? The answer is a resounding, yes. The day trips were amazing, but the aspects that stood out for us were: the same hotel for 5 nights, the Mecure in Avignon; a wonderful coach driver; and an outstanding tour director. Sandy Royet was read more a gem. The mix of history, wine, and olives proved, for us, to be a special blend. There were some amazing characters on the tour including an 84 year old New Zealander, now widowed, who has been a Cosmos customer for some 50 years. He spoke highly of the Provence tour and of the excellence of our lovely young tour director. Jennifer and I will be very happy to use Cosmos again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our Cosmos Alaska trip. As a group of 4 couples we were very happy with our booking agent at Global Journeys and the thorough and professional treatment we received. Our trip went without any problems and although we originally thought that it was a bit risky going in early May, the weather was fantastic. Our driver and tour read more guide were exceptional. Tarak - our tour guide had an enormous amount of knowledge about every place we visited and gave us practical information about each stop. Although there were no meals included, there was never an issue. I would like to see breakfast included as this is a good time to socialize with our fellow travelers. Our bus group was mostly Australians which was amazing - 38 out of 47. Our accommodation was great - very clean, spacious, organised on arrival and central to everything. Our bus driver (Jim) was always on time, helpful, smiling and a very careful driver - we always felt safe. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.
Value for money coach trip. We traversed some 4600 miles across the USA from New York to Los Angeles. There were 49 guests on board the coach. The coach driver (Dennis) was excellent. The tour director was knowledgeable and cheerful. Hotels were generally of a high quality but some were not centrally located. There were several long days on the coach read more but this was offset by the many wonderful sites we visited. Highlights for me included Niagra Falls, The Smithsonian museums, Mount Rushmore and Chicago, Make sure to take your camera on this trip!
Enjoyable tour! Outstanding collection of destinations with an incredibly helpful and knowledgeable tour guide Finola and skillful driver Mark. The comprehensive tour immersed us in the culture, history and the beauty of the British Isles.
Lovely group of fellow travellers and the good weather topped it all for for us. A great life experience!

This was our first experience with Cosmos and I was a little unsure how it would go. I can't complain at all, our bus driver Mark was a lot of fun but our guide Finola was fantastic. She made the trip so entertaining and she was so knowledgeable. There was not one place on the tour I did not like, the countryside of the UK is spectacular. We have read more made some lifelong friends on this tour. In actual fact I came home in June and in July I booked my next Cosmos tour and 2 ladies I met on the UK tour are coming with me. I will be doing lot's more tours with Cosmos.
We enjoyed traveling with Cosmos nice tour excellent tour guide. A lot to see in such relative short time. Thanks.
Sensationally Scenic Switzerland 1
Alpine Adventure, Bernina & Glacier Express
Mr John & Mrs Jing Howell , WA, Australia, May 2016
Amazing mountain scenery, especially from the top on clear days. Tour guide great and accommodation comfortable and full of character. Mid summer more likely to guarantee good weather.
Thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the tour. We had an excellent tour guide, Corina. Nothing was a trouble for her. Great sense of humor, interesting historical commentaries, easy to listen to, really knew her stuff and how to deal with all the different personalities. The coach (bus) was excellent, plenty of leg room and clean. Drivers were excellent. read more The tour group was a great mix of people with a love of fun, interest in the places we were visiting and fellow travelers, along with being punctual. I felt a sense of loss once we had finished the tour having enjoyed the company of such a fun group.
We had a fabulous tour with Cosmos. The weather was fantastic. The tour director took good care of us and he was knowledgeable. Most of the local tour guides were good, helpful and informative. The highlight of the tour has to be Machu Pichu for us but Rio de Janeiro, Iguazu, Boenos Aires are great places to visit too. Our tour group is a bunch of good, read more fun loving, courteous people. We got along well together. The hotel accommodations were generally good. The hotel at Puno was particularly good in food and service.
Awsome trip through South America 1
Ultimate South America with Galapagos Cruise
Vaughan & Renee, NT, Australia, May 2016
This was our second tour with Cosmos. The tour was well planned and covered all of the places that we wanted to travel to in South America. If you are after an affordable tour company with great tour itineraries I recommend Cosmos. Global Journeys made the booking process very easy.
15 Day European Highlights - May 2016 3
Europe's Highlights
Ray Webb and 5 other family members, NSW, Australia, May 2016
The trip was very good and it was great to have everything organised by Cosmos. The pace of the tour was very quick but this is to be expected when you see so many places in a short space of time. If time allows I would recommend taking the tour over a longer duration which should have more 2 night stays. The Tour Guide was excellent and she really read more knew her stuff. Similarly the driver was first class. We were pleasantly surprised by the standard of the accommodation, although some hotels were a distance from the centre of things which has to be expected from a moderately priced tour. The amount of free time was very good and allowed you to get a feel of the places you visit. The majority of the optional tours were very good although expensive. Global Journeys were similarly very good and responded very promptly. They really have their act together. I would recommend Cosmos and Global Journeys.
I went on the Western Wonders tour at the last minute with no idea what to expect as this was the first tour group I've been on. This trip exceeded our expectations Cosmos tour director Craig Cherry and Driver Randy looked after everyone on the trip. Everyone in our group were so nice and all got on well. The trip being 12 days gave us time to look read more around each place without being too rushed. I was away for 20 days all up and this was my highlight due to the way the tour was operated. Thank you, we will remember this always and have made friends for all over the globe.
Amazing holiday, great sights, Tour Director Todd was very good. Met some good people and good value for money. Our third Cosmos Tour now. Highly recommended.
A great journey though Europe 1
Delma & Stehen O'Neill, NSW, Australia, Apr 2016
The tour was very well done from our booking with Global Journeys and our Tour Director ensuring that we had our return journey organised. Would recommend Global Journeys and Cosmos to anyone who is interested in having a great holiday. We left our camera at the hotel in Roma and our Tour director organised for it to be forwarded to Lucerne which was very much appreciated.
The tour guide and driver were very good and the coach was in very good condition and always clean. Some of the hotels were a little too basic for me - 4 star should be better. My travel companions were a mixed bunch and all very nice indeed. It seems like everyone got on well. It was a very enjoyable trip. The only thing I would change would be the read more first Rome hotel and Monti Cattani hotel.
