Very interesting part of Europe. Enjoyed Poland and Hungary and the history of these particular areas. Xmas was a great time to do this trip as we visited Xmas markets along the way, these are not to be missed especially coming from a hot climate. The accommodation was brilliant, with the exception of the Bellevue Hotel in Vienna. However this is due read more to close in the near future. People from the trip got bedbugs and the rooms (including our own) were not cleaned from the previous guests and was disgusting to say the least. Thankfully we were only here for one night. Overall a great trip and I would book Cosmos again and would definitely use Global Journeys in the future. (This was our second trip through both companies).
Memories that will stay with us for ever 3
Ultimate South America with Brazil's Amazon & Galapagos Cruise
Patrice & George Daryan, WA, Australia, Nov 2015
We had a wonderful time. The tour was excellent, we met some lovely people and saw everything that we wanted to see. My tour favourites were Iguassu Falls, ( better than Niagara more impressive and with a beautiful natural setting). Macchu Picchu in Peru was magical, everything that we had heard it would be, we were so lucky as the weather was perfect, read more (it rains much of the time there apparently!) The tour guide was great gave us lots of detailed information about the Incas, and the building and setting of Macchu Picchu. We also loved the Galapagos Islands, it was great to see the marine and land iguanas, swim with the sea lions and see the sea lion pups who were so cute!!! The blue footed and red footed boobies were so unusual, completely different from any other bird!! The wildlife was amazing!!! The giant tortoises were great, I especially liked Diego (130years old) in the Charles Darwin Centre on Santa Cruz island. The cruise ship was excellent, the food and accommodation were great and they looked after us really well. All in all an excellent tour one that will leave memories that will stay with us for ever. Not so much a holiday but a real life changing adventure.
Had a great time travelling with Cosmos on the Dixie Land Rhythm tour. Chicago was amazing and the tour guide Kristen and bus driver Rick really eager to help and really nice people. Loved the tours of RCA and Sun recording studios and anybody who lived through the music of the 60's will find the tour amazing. A great trip to see more of the USA read more other than the big cities. Highly recommended and thanks to Georgia for all her help in booking this trip. A big thanks to Global Journeys.
This is the first time that I have joined a tour group. I have preferred previously to travel independently. Our Tour Guide Kristen was very welcoming and made us all feel at ease. The ages were varied from 26 to 78 with music being our common interest. We ended up being a very cohesive group. Friendships were formed for life. The tour far exceeded read more my expectations. We went to many places that were not mentioned in the itinerary. All of these enhanced the already amazing itinerary. Our driver Rick was an excellent driver and always delivered us safely to our destinations. Kristen was extremely knowledgeable which made the tour special for me. Kristen had a really lovely manner and was able to get everyone to arrive promptly each day for our early starts. The tour took us to places that would have been other wise be unknown to the average traveller . The variety of places we went to were excellent and pleased every genre of music. Chicago, Nashville and New Orleans were an absolute surprise and I would love to travel back to these places on another tour. I am very keen now to do another tour with Cosmos in 2016 of the National Parks of USA. I highly recommend Dixieland and Rhythms to all music lovers.
This tour gave a great range of music experiences of jazz, blues, Elvis, country and western. As well it show cased the geography, history and culture of the 5 US states covered. The tour director was fabulous - organised, friendly, caring and fun. I felt safe in the hands of the competent driver as we covered 2400km (1490 miles). A fantastic holiday.
Outstanding collection of destinations, and an incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and engaged tour guide and coach driver. This was a worry free holiday.
Enjoyable tour. Tour guide Julie-Anne was fantastic. Great knowledge and went out of her way to help. Accommodation was pretty good, clean and all you could need. WiFi in all hotels a big plus. The tour itself, beautiful scenery and would have loved to stop at various places along the way. As a photographer more quick photo stops would have been nice, read more as photos from a coach don't work. Some places required more time like Bath felt rushed at 1.5 hours yet other places could have passed all together. Overall comprehensive tour that gave me a sneak peek of places I will come back to. Lovely group of people to travel with and as I was travelling by myself ended up life long friends.
Good experience & good tour guide 2
Gael & Anthony, VIC, Australia, Oct 2015
Good experience & good tour guide but due to the crowded places, was not as appealing as when less crowded. Previously been to to the area later in October, early November & found it more appealing as a lot less crowded so able to see more & spend more time at interesting places. This tour followed an exceptional tour guide so very hard to be as objective. read more Would recommend but preferably out of high tourist season.
Once again an excellent tour with great tour guide. Good excursions, hotels and coach. Exceeded expectations. Well done.
10 out of 10 for this trip! 1
Robin & Lynne, QLD, Australia, Oct 2015
Wow!!!! What another wonderful Cosmos trip. 10 out of 10 for this trip!!! Our guide Bram and bus drivers Raphael and Antonio were the best!!! They all could not do enough for us the whole trip. This trip is quite a long trip but if you want to see a lot of Europe this is the trip for you. We combined it with the 25 day UK trip which may have made it read more seem a bit long. This was our 6th Cosmos trip and as usual with all our Cosmos trips they are the best, such good value, so well planned, great hotels, excursions etc etc. Booked with Michelle from Global Journeys, they are so good to deal with!
The Greek countryside is beautiful and green. The tour director Maurio was very courteous and helpful and informative and hotels were comfortable with good buffet breakfasts included. The cruise of the Greek islands was magic - only shortcoming was not enough time in Santorini - but we had spent 4 nights staying on the island so were satisfied we had read more enjoyed Santorini. Too many optional extras to purchase building the cost up significantly. The optional extras in the trip to Olympia and Delphi should have not been paid extras but should have been included in the sightseeing of the stadium and the ruins of Delphi as they were the main reason we were touring those places. Overall a great experience and a very enjoyable trip.
Will definitely tour with cosmos again 2
Penny & Beck, NSW, Australia, Oct 2015
We really enjoyed our tour of Spain and Portugal - it was just right to get a fabulous taste of these regions. Our tour guide Estefania was amazing - really fantastic, and the local guides that managed our optional excursions were also very good. The hotels were a very good standard and mostly situated in good locations. We really liked the flexibility read more on tour, we could leave the group and explore on our own when we liked, or opt in for the group excursions- best of both worlds. We would certainly recommend Cosmos tours for great value and will definitely tour with them again.
Was an amazing experience! The icing on the cake, that made the whole tour, was our very informative, intelligent and funny tour guide, Graeme or Aziz . Without him, the tour would have been rated Good. But with him, it was excellent. Our 2 previous Cosmos tours in the USA, were quite ordinary, due to the slackness of the Tour guides. Will definitely recommend this tour!
Overall we enjoyed the trip. Must commend the driver's excellent driving. There was never a moment our safety was compromised. Smooth from start to finish. The tour guide is very well versed in the areas' history. However tends to be too detail and serious that many of of the travellers were seen dozing off including my husband! A little bit of humour read more would be great. He reminds me of my high school History teacher trying to cram all the historical dates into our heads!
Japan was more impressive than we expected 2
Brian & Joan , NSW, Australia, Oct 2015
Japan was more impressive than we expected. The tour was very good and comfortable with only 20 on the coach. Maybe the only negative was that some days were a bit full on and the tour could be a few days longer to offset this.
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. The places we visited were excellent, and could not faulty any. Our tour guide Corina was absolutely fabulous, words cannot describe her. She had a lot to put up with on our tour, but she coped extremely well. She deserved a medal! Alain our coach driver for most of the tour was also excellent. He had to back up a read more narrow one way street because a couple of cars were illegally parked, and Corina had to go and direct the traffic so that they would not come down the street. All in all a wonderful trip.
Great to see free wi-fi on the tour coach 1
Alpine Adventure, Bernina & Glacier Express
Ken, NSW, Australia, Oct 2015
Good tour but some of the hotels were very basic, although that is to be expected in Europe. The tour director was very good and it's great to see free wi-fi on the tour coach.
Tour director Corina Moga was excellent. Her knowledge, sense of humour and expertise made the tour very enjoyable, especially considering there was such a large group. Majority of accommodation was good. Bus driver Alain was also very good. Set meals pretty uninteresting with no menu choices.
France was really different 1
Grand Tour of France
Frank Nolan & Robyn Kukura, WA, Australia, Oct 2015
France was really different and the weather was great at this time of year.
We had a great time on the tour. Not a thing to complain about. Sue had never been on a coach tour before and she loved every minute of it. Driver and guide were both fantastic.
We were stuck in a very narrow street because a car was parked where it should not have been. Our driver had to back up the street with our guide guiding him. Wow what a read more great job they did. The photo is of the street where we got stuck and had to reverse back the whole street.
Have since been on one more Cosmos tour and have booked another one for September 2018.
