We were very happy with this tour. It was not luxurious, but it was good value for money. Maybe the company could raise the price a little and then include a few extras, like hot drinks after included meals etc.
Enjoyable experience and great value for money 1
Trans-American Adventure
Michael Zegulewski, WA, Australia, May 2015
First time I have ever booked holiday online, but very pleased with the email communication and everything went like clockwork. An enjoyable experience and great value for money. Will consider future bookings with Global Journeys.
Wonderful tour 2
Canadian Train Odyssey with Alaska Cruise
Vicki Newbury & Alan Newbury, WA, Australia, May 2015
We had a wonderful tour of Canada & Alaska. The scenery was amazing in both countries and the cruise up to Alaska on the Volendam was really relaxing and gave us time to reflect on all that we had seen along the way. Michelle at Global Journeys was great in assisting me with all the details and documents that were required before we left Australia.
The Cosmos tour was great 5
Canadian Train Odyssey with Alaska Cruise
Jenn, NSW, Australia, May 2015
The Cosmos tour was great. The Tour director and driver were a wonderful, helpful and knowledgeable team. The accommodation provided was excellent, much better than I had expected. I would not hesitate to recommend a Cosmos tour. What I could not recommend was the train trip. I had a dream of travelling the world by train - that dream is gone. The read more train is always late waiting for freight trains so instead of adjusting the timetable they adjust the speed at night to make up the time. It is a well known practice apparently. For most of us it makes it too scary to sleep at night as the train jumped, rolled and banged its way across Canada. Most of us managed 2 hours sleep in the early mornings. So even though we were scared witless we still arrived in Jasper 7 and a 1/2 hours late, at 7.30pm - our free time in Jasper gone. The train staff gave no apologies, no sympathy and no lunch or dinner!!!!
At the beginning we were a little unsure about our tour guide. He was quite mature and seemed to dither when providing commentary. It soon became clear that this was not the case but that he had so much to tell us he sometimes did not finish every subject. He made the tour very enjoyable.
A pleasant surprise 2
Judy & Steve, QLD, Australia, May 2015
All accommodation and included breakfasts were good. The wifi equipped coaches were very good. This Cosmos tour was of a much higher quality than my previous tours with Cosmos in 2000. A pleasant surprise.
Have no hesitation in recommending Cosmos tours 2
Spain, Portugal & Morocco
Chris Wait, VIC, Australia, May 2015
Our Cosmos Tour Director, Luis, was THE BEST. His 12 years of experience of these countries was full of historical information and personal anecdotes. He gave us more than I had ever experienced before, because he LOVED his home country Spain, and also sung the praises of Portugal and Morocco. Our driver, Angelo, although short on English, was a safe read more and a tireless contributor to a very rewarding adventure. I have no hesitation in recommending Cosmos tours to anybody who requires a personal reference.
We had a great time, meet lots of good people and really enjoyed the itinerary. The pace of the trip was ok, the tour director was excellent, but some of the included meals were poor. I would certainly recommend the tour and would also recommend and thank Yvonne at Global Journeys who organised it for us.
Would recommend this tour to anybody 1
Canadian Masterpiece with Rocky Mountaineer & Alaska Cruise
Deborah & Bradley, QLD, Australia, May 2015
Would recommend this tour to anybody. We had two coaches with our tour and the one we were on was excellent, great bus driver who did his best to stop and show us the wildlife when it was seen from the bus. Our guide was brilliant and the group was a good mix of people with friendships made. Would certainly travel again with Cosmos and do Canada and Alaska again also.
Pleased we decided to take the bus tour of the Rockies 1
The Canadian Rockies
Travelling Nana, VIC, Australia, May 2015
We are so pleased we decided to take the bus tour of the Rockies rather than ride the Rocky Mountaineer. We had a great guide and accommodating driver who alerted us to approaching wildlife including bears, bald eagles, elks, mountain goats and sheep. We stopped at scenic spots for photos and viewing experiences and whilst we did not have the luxuries read more and inclusions provided on the Rocky Mountaineer, I believe our overall experience was far superior. Thank you very much for your service in organising our tour. Everything worked seamlessly.
This was great value for money and I would book with Global Journeys again and do a Cosmos tour again.
Brilliant Holiday! Travelled with Cosmos Tours, in the UK, in May/June. Tour was amazing, with wonderful memories! We travelled as a group of three and found that despite the odd number, accommodation for triple rooms was easy, very comfortable and well organised! The coach was very good, our group was entertaining and fun to be with. The tour director read more was extremely helpful and down to earth, and the driver's skill over tight roads etc amazed and at times thrilled us! The pace was not too fast, two day stay overs seemed well timed. Overall we were very impressed with Cosmos. Highly organised, professional, funny and informative. Would travel with them again.
Very good overall but there was no downtime 4
The Lone Star State to the French Quarter
Carmen Debsieh, NSW, Australia, May 2015
I thought the tour was very good overall but there was no downtime. We basically were rushed everyday back to the hotel at 5.30pm for a quick shower and change in order to make the food/drinks at Dury's before it finished at 7pm. I feel like I didn't get to see Houston, as the whole day was spent at the space centre. What a waste of three days being read more in San Antonio - definitely didn't need that! More time in New Orleans - as one night is not enough! Thanks.
I would highly recommend this tour 1
Darren O, QLD, Australia, May 2015
We had a great taste of Europe touring with Cosmos. Our Tour Director (Aleksandra) was excellent going over and above to ensure we all understood and enjoy our holiday experience. There were a few minor things that were out of her control, such as some of the included meals that were not quiet up to standard, however the trip gave us a good variety read more of Europe and we felt in good hands for the 29 days. Our Coach Driver - Paolo was incredibly skilled in navigating his way around all the countries, cities and streets we visited. His coach was immaculately kept in clean condition and a very comfortable journey, there was never any concerns about the safety throughout the whole driving experience. I would highly recommend this tour and feel fortunate enough to have had a good tour director and driver who made the experience worthwhile. (Ed. Itinerary amended slightly and name changed from European Masterpiece to All About Europe in 2019)
Canada and Alaska were unbelievably beautiful, well worth the long flying time required to get there. If you love nature, these are not places to be missed. Will definitely be returning to North America soon.
Very well paced tour with sufficient free time 2
Ontario & French Canada
Cathrine, NSW, Australia, May 2015
We thoroughly enjoyed our bus trip, no problems at all from booking process through to the end. Our tour director was very knowledgeable and helpful and kept us well informed of day to day arrangements and interesting facts and history of each place visited, the bus driver was courteous & professional. We found the tour very well paced with sufficient read more free time to ourselves to look around. All accomodation was excellent and in good locations to restaurants etc. The included excursions and the optionals we chose to do were interesting and enjoyable, the local guides when used added to our travel experience with their enthusiasm to share their knowledge of the area.
Excellent value for money 1
Brenda, NSW, Australia, May 2015
Excellent value for money. We saw a lot of wonderful sights in 2 weeks. It was great having local guides for the historical sites.
We thoroughly enjoyed our Jewels of France tour but would have preferred the pace to have been a little more leisurely. Too many places visited in too short a time. Although the optional tours were very good considered them a little expensive. Many thanks for your organization of our tour.
This was an excellent tour, just the right pace and group size. Our tour director, Corina was excellent, the best we have had so far. The places we visited were so well chosen we were very impressed. Occasionally, we were disappointed with a breakfast but on the whole the meals were superb. We would certainly recommend this tour, it went to all the read more places we wanted without the hassle of language, driving etc that we have experienced in the past. Well done, Cosmos!
I really enjoyed this tour and had many wonderful experiences 1
Kerrie Davis, NSW, Australia, May 2015
I really enjoyed this tour and had many wonderful experiences. I was disappointed that the welcome dinner and farewell dinner weren't included as I feel these help everyone become acquainted. Also some of the hotels were too far out of the city centre. Mike and Enzo were very professional and helpful.
