Trip was all encompassing as the name suggested. It was tiring towards the end so in hindsight I would not have done so many days. Accommodation was pretty ordinary and two places were extremely bad. I was surprised they had a license to operate. It was very cold for most of the trip and most places would not turn the heating on until 6 pm or later. read more Otherwise we got to see the places we wanted to.
Very good and value for money 4
Robyn Crago, SA, Australia, Apr 2015
Overall the tour was very good and value for money in that we saw a lot in the period of time. It was 'on the go' up early and on the coach which was tiring, hence I would not book another similar tour that was as long as 30 days again. Most of the accommodation was good. The worst hotel was that which we had in Paris - I thought this hotel was extremely read more poor and below even a 1* rating. The fact that this hotel was the very first hotel we stayed in, at the start of the tour on the continent, was of concern as I began to think the promise of 3* accommodation was all bluff! Other's also had similar thoughts. The age group of participants was suitable to me which was a plus. The optional tours were expensive and I did not do all of them. The tour director Ms. Marisa Frati was fantastic!! Could not have had a better tour guide. She was not only extremely knowledgeable but she had a great personality, sense of humor and she was always smiling, and always helpful. The tour gave a good overview of a number of places to visit. The fact that we did not stay very long at any one particular place meant that it enlightened us on where we may like to return for a longer stay at some later time.
A very well considered tour encapsulating a great cross section of what Ireland/Northern ireland is about. The outstanding guide was a walking/talking encyclopaedia of his country with an excellent sense of humour.
It was a great tour and I will do the Washington one in the near future. I liked the people I met on tour. The tour guide and bus driver were terrific. The additional optional excursions were ok but not really what I needed on the tour. I learnt a lot on the tour that I wouldn't have seen if I traveled outside a tour.
All of the included tours were of a high quality 1
Scenic Slovenia & Croatia
Michelle, QLD, Australia, Apr 2015
It was excellent. All of the included tours were of a high quality. We had local guides take us on a walking tour of the city in several locations and they were extremely knowledgeable and well informed. Other tours such as the caves and the National Park at Plitovich were stunningly beautiful. Most of the hotels were fine. The only one that was a bit read more dodgy was the one in Sarajevo where we couldn't get hot water for the shower. I gather there are not a lot of hotels to choose from however. We also did all three optional tours as well and they were excellent too. Good job!
We thoroughly enjoyed it, and would do it again 1
Central Europe
Raymond Wright, QLD, Australia, Apr 2015
Overall, the combination of hassle-free booking, a really well-paced tour, an excellent tour director, and the many wonderful places visited, outweighed any inconveniences we encountered. We thoroughly enjoyed it, and would do it again.
Very enjoyable trip 2
Seven Countries, Venice & Paris with London
Rakesh & Var, NSW, Australia, Apr 2015
Very enjoyable trip, although we wished we could have spent more days in some countries! Austria and its scenic snowy aspect, and Switzerland of course, were the highlights for us!
Certainly recommend this tour as good value! 1
Highlights of Morocco
Leopold Oud, Australia, Apr 2015
Overall no complaints most interesting and enjoyable tour, would most certainly recommend this tour as good value! Morocco is a country of contrasts from the Atlantic ocean on ones side to the Sahara desert on the other with the snow capped Mountains of the Atlas Mountains thrown in to add to the varied and most interesting landscape and diversity of people.
Ireland put on it's best for us weather wise. What a beautiful country with so much history. Hilary, our guide, was excellent. As a born n bred Irish lass was a wealth of information who imparted her love of her country to us. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour.
I gave feedback to Cosmos too just stating some of the twin share places were a little bit too cosy for my liking...personal space lacking in two hotels in particular - Grenoble and Paris. The random person I was paired with was a really lovely though! The trip has so much to see and so many 'wow' moments with the monuments & historical sites - highlights read more Pompeii, Capri and Venice - caught the sun setting whilst on the boat heading out out to dinner in Venice and that was stunning. This dinner was yummy in Venice too.
There is so much history in Spain and Portugal, so many museums and beautiful buildings. The coach ride from one city to another city is so so , but every city has it's own charm. I was very happy with this tour.
We want to return to explore more of these beautiful towns 6
Prague, Vienna & Budapest
Janice, NSW, Australia, Mar 2015
Our tour guide, Sophia, was excellent. She had a full bus load and was always available to answer any questions. She always helped in any way and was charming in every way to the requests from her clients. As we were travelling in countries that had different cultures, language and interaction, Sophia did an amazing job to keep us all informed. Sophia read more explained the shopping and the exchange of money so were were not left with a large amount of local money in towns where we only stayed a day or so. The tour was excellent in regards to visiting these quite varied districts . From the large city of Munich to the small villages of Budapest. I was travelling with my two sisters and both commented about the tour and would definitely go on another Cosmos tour. Our driver was very experienced and we thought he was very safe regarding the long distances on the free-ways. His expertise when trying to manoeuvre the small streets and lane ways was exceptional. He was very courteous and helpful with any request. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would recommend the Prague, Vienna , Budapest tour. The sights were amazing in these towns and small villages. The only complaint is the the tour went too quickly and we want to return to explore more of these beautiful towns.
Very comfortable accommodation, great tour guide 1
Rhythms of the Road
Toni, QLD, Australia, Mar 2015
Our tour guide was very informative and provided sufficient commentary for the tour. Our bus driver was very professional and helpful. We took many of the excursions and these met our expectations. Our accommodation was very comfortable.
Great sights, well run tour. Tour Director Suzie was exceptional and booking service with Global Journeys was excellent. Highly recommended tour.
The tour itself was very enjoyable. I do like the fact that they offered some of the excursions as optional so you can choose to do it on your own or with a local tour guide. It gave us the flexibility of still being able to make our own itinerary with the help of the tour director and the local guide. Tunde, who was our tour director and Giorgo, our read more driver were lovely people always ready to help and make our stay a memorable one. The Cosmos bus was awesome with the free wifi service! Never missed a chance to update my status or upload a photo on social media for family and friends back home! All the hotels were pretty decent (2-3 star) and all had free wifi access too. The best part of the tour was the Budapest dinner cruise along the Danube which I highly recommend to anyone taking this tour. Maybe something to look into for future tours- I was actually looking forward to doing a bit of sightseeing in Munich but unfortunately, it was just like a starting and end point of the tour where we didn't really do anything (except for the dinner on the last night).
What a wonderful trip we had 2
Seven Countries, Venice & Paris with London
Mandy Mackenzie, WA, Australia, Feb 2015
What a wonderful trip we had. Yes it was very fast paced and 'full on' but this only added to the experience. We had a wonderful tour guide and a very mixed group on our tour, which I can only say added to the fun. I'd really recommend this tour as a taster of Europe, we already have a list of places we would like to return to at a more leisurely pace. read more Most on the tour commented that they would have preferred the accommodation to be closer to the centre of the towns and cities we visited but all realised that that was the trade off to get such a good value tour. Huge thank you to Emily for organising this for us so quickly when it really was a last minute booking. We are already checking out the brochure to see where we would like to go next!!
We had a wonderful tour 4
Michelle Felix, QLD, Australia, Dec 2014
We had a wonderful tour and full compliments go to our tour guide Luigi and driver Francesco. The tour did keep us on the go but we understood that would be the case as indicated in the tour information. Some of the accommodation was on the outskirts of the town and whilst the public transport was relatively easy to use we thought that the accommodation read more in Rome would have been more suited to closer into the city as the public transport in Rome is not the most reliable. This was certainly our 'taster' for Europe and has given us the chance to view cities we will definitely return to. I would recommend factoring in the cost of the optional tours as we ended up doing the majority and certainly enjoyed them all. On the optional dinners our tour guide would take us walking through the city either before or after dinner and we were able to then view the city at night as well by day when we did the day city tour. Thank you Cosmos for a great tour!
First ever tour and the best experience I have ever had! 2
Jan Kennedy, QLD, Australia, Dec 2014
This was my first ever tour and it was the best experience I have ever had! I really enjoyed the comfort of the bus which was guided throughout the countryside by a very skilled driver. Our tour guide was a pure gentleman who was an encyclopaedia of information. Our accommodation was excellent! The scenery was something to behold as was the small villages, read more churches, castles and townships! Thank you so much for a very stress free booking and tour! (Ed. This trip changed slightly in 2019, so this review is based on the previous longer itinerary)
Thank you Hannah and Global journeys for handling my tour booking and extra accommodation. I had a wonderful coach trip with Cosmos. Angel our tour director and Hose our driver were both fabulous. I would certainly book again with Global Journeys and Cosmos.
