Very well organised and planned 3
Mark Davidson & David Bromley, Australia, Oct 2012
The tour was excellent, very well organised and planned. All the locations visited were wonderful and memorable. The staff on the tour were very friendly, experienced and efficient, even offering after hours transport when located in out-of-the-way locations and included ample advice on suggested local activities outside the organised tour. Accommodation read more was of a consistent standard with some quite basic hotels but still very comfortable and restful. Also we had a great fun on the tour and enjoyed travelling with the vast mix of other tour participants. Thank you very much Georgie for your excellent organisation and assisting us with booking the tour. Many thanks.
Surprising that the cost was so low for the experience we had 1
Moira Parr, Australia, Oct 2012
The tour was better than expected. The places the group visited were extraordinary. The tour guide was excellent - well informed, considerate and very professional. Accommodation was excellent. Overall, it was surprising that the cost of the tour was so low for the standard we experienced. Most definitely, I would recommend Cosmos.
Katie and I both enjoyed this tour. The accommodation was overall good, some hotels were much better than others. We had a last minute tour guide who was excellent. Katie speaks fluent Spanish and commented 'I have never heard a Spaniard speak such good, clear English.' His knowledge of Morocco was also excellent. The coach was great as was our driver read more and apprentice driver. All of the city tour guides were also excellent. I wish I could go again as Morocco was an amazing experience.
I loved the tour but pace abit too fast 1
Focus on Scandinavia
Elizabeth Shalders, Australia, Oct 2012
I loved the tour but some of the stops were too short when there was a lot to see. I recorded this on my feedback sheet at the end of the tour. Tour guide and driver deserve medals!
Tour was what I had expected and met all my expectations 1
The Best of Britain & Ireland
Joyce Yiu, Australia, Oct 2012
The tour was what I had expected and met all my expectations. Tour guide director was very informative and with plenty of knowledge to share with the tour group. His name was Ian Walker and he made the tour very memorable as he was patient with the group and always approachable.
Weather in October was just perfect for touring 1
Margaret Adamson, Australia, Oct 2012
Germany is such a beautiful country. Cosmos took us to all the number one tourist attractions at each location. The hotels exceeded our expectations. The weather in October was just perfect for touring.
Overall the tour exceeded our expectations 1
Margaret Adamson, Australia, Oct 2012
Our Tour Director was very average. Some extra time in Nuremberg to enter the Court House would be nice. Overall the tour exceeded our expectations. Cosmos took us to all the number one highlights associated with the stops. We are booking another Cosmos Tour for 2013 and will recommend Cosmos to all our friends. Great job!
Found it extremely difficult in New York to find Gluten Free food 1
Eastern Us & Canada Grand Vacation with Extended Stay in New York City
Katelyn Hocking & Natalie O'Keefe, Australia, Oct 2012
We had a good time, I (Katelyn) found it extremely difficult in New York to find Gluten Free food as no one knew what it was and requested on the trip that a fridge be put in our room so that I could buy a few things to put in it since I struggled so much. Frank tried his best to accommodate this. Apart from that we had a good time.
Fantastic trip. Was on the go but loved everything. John our tour director and Jason our driver were both fantastic. Would definitely go for another tour with Cosmos.
Great choice of places to visit & activities. Most of all an absolutely fantastic tour director Rae. She is witty, very knowledgeable, great organiser & tactful and in fact lovable at the same time. Not kidding. And because of Rae's people skills, everyone was on time to board the coach at every stop & this means there was no delay at all in reaching read more our destination. Check in and baggage to room went amazingly smooth. Kudos to Rae and not forgetting the driver too. And compounded with excellent scenery and weather the tour is rated excellent!
Better than I had imagined 1
Jacqueline Radan, Australia, Oct 2012
The Cosmos 27 day tour was better than I had imagined. Our tour director, Xenia, was absolutely fantastic. She was informative, funny, caring and incredibly organized which made our tour one that I will always remember with great fondness. It was a very busy tour, lots of walking and plenty of variety. I thought the optional excursions were well researched read more and very much appreciated by all who participated. Loved every country we visited, the history, the uniqueness, the people, the food. I thought the daily distances in the bus were manageable and I appreciated the rest stops along the way. A 27 day tour gives tourists opportunity to get to know each other and enjoy each others company. This we did extremely well and much to my delight, I have made some lifelong friends. Things to consider - the hotel in Bordeaux, really disappointing. The ferry trip to Greece - too long, isn't there a boat that takes less time? Then we could spend more time in San Merino. Maybe an extra night or extra time in Florence. Honestly, a great tour, an excellent tour director who really knew her stuff. Thank you Georgina, thank you Cosmos, thank you Xenia. I would definitely recommend you all to my friends, family and work colleagues. I will be travelling in the future and I will definitely use your services again. Thanks. (Ed. Itinerary amended slightly and name changed from European Masterpiece to All About Europe in 2019)
I will always book through Frances as she is kind and supportive. Overall it was a great experience. Many thanks to Frances/Noel and the people I met on the coach. It's hard when you haven't travelled alone before and all these expections. I appreciate your services and being open to feedback.
We would DEFINITELY go with Cosmos again 1
Susie, Australia, Sep 2012
We were initially a bit nervous about taking a tour as we had heard stories from other people/reviews. However, the tour was wonderful and we were lucky to have really great people in our tour of 48. We all got along really well. The tour director (Marianna) and bus driver (Antonio) were a great team. Marianna was very knowledgeable and helpful, she read more would point out a few main points for us to explore during our free time. We would definitely recommend the tour to first timers as it was a great way to see Europe in a short amount of time and some of the lesser known places were real gems we wouldn't have discovered. It was so good to skip the queues too! The local guides also really added to the experience as we got to hear the history behind the sites which we wouldn't have if we just did the trip ourselves. A few of the hotels were not that great but on the whole we can't complain. At times the tour felt a bit quick, but overall the pace was great. The optional tours did add up, but really enjoyed them to bond with our group and to see more than just the main attractions. A shame that one of the Eiffel tower lifts were broken so we didn't get the optional excursion to go up the Eiffel tower. Our coach was really comfortable and you could definitely feel the lack of space when we boarded the local buses. We would DEFINITELY go with Cosmos again as we didn't have to worry about bookings etc. Georgie from Global Journeys was really helpful and answered all our questions.
All aspects of this bus tour were very good - the tour leader and bus driver were supremely professional; the hotels (and their beds) were very comfortable, the activities and sightseeing were well chosen and very well paced, and, lastly and most importantly, travelling on the bus for 10 days was as good as lounging on one's sofa at home. Bliss.
The driver was great, felt very safe all the time 1
Alpine Adventure, Bernina & Glacier Express
Richard & Sonia Gamble, Australia, Sep 2012
A great tour. Tour guide was execellent with any question, she was able to answer if not she find out the answer. The driver was great, felt very safe all the time.
Having toured before with other operators, I've experienced 34 day tours and just felt too rushed on this tour. I also regretted booking so many excursions as there was never time to stop, mingle with locals and just absorb the atmosphere.... always rushing!
Just what we wanted after a 3 week cruise 1
New York City, Niagara Falls & Washington DC
Graham & Ann McCarthy, Australia, Sep 2012
Our Globus tour was New York and Washington - we were greeted by a very helpful agent in our NY hotel, who gave us lots of local hints. After our 3 days in NY, we travelled by Amtrac to Washington - great hotels great tours - short but just what we wanted after a 3 week cruise. Would go with Globus again.
The whole trip was excellent, Thankyou Global Journeys! 1
Trans-American Adventure
Colin & Cynthia Sears, Australia, Sep 2012
The whole trip was excellent. Highlights would have been Niagra falls, Mt Rushmore and the Canyons (Bryce, Zion and Grand). We really appreciated Georgie's assistance and advice.
Everything was well planned 1
Catherine Gibian, Australia, Sep 2012
Great tour. Everything was well planned. The Pinet Palace was not very good. The tour Director Gianlucca was amazing and went beyond and above for all areas of the tour. I would go again if i had him. The coach driver Uri was excellent. The optional excursions where great and well organised and greatly enjoyable. The food was good and the Tuscany dinner read more was really fun. Accommodation was beautiful at Florence at Montecani and the service was great. The Sorrento extension was well organised except we wasted a day not being picked up from Rome till 2pm and then coming back 8am at the end we really only had two days there. Please forward thanks to Gianlucca the tour director in Rome as I can not email him as he was outstanding.
Great way to travel across USA and see lots of different places 1
Trans-American Adventure
Michelle Bridgett, Australia, Sep 2012
I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our guide Russ was very knowledgeable and helpful as was our bus driver, Larry, nothing was too much trouble. It is a great way to travel across the USA and see a lot of different places. The accommodations were very good and most of the time our room (with two double beds) was huge. Loved the country even more than we read more thought, people are so friendly. Would do this tour again!
