Excellent travel experience! 1
Dianne Karnaitis, Australia, Sep 2012
My daughter and I both had an amazing time! This is a fantastic tour, our whole bus group loved our experience. Will definitely book with Cosmos again, affordable, professional, knowledgeable, tour company who took us everywhere and we saw everything and more!! Excellent travel experience! Thankyou!
Very impressed with our Cosmos tour 1
Rue Buik, Australia, Sep 2012
I was very impressed with our Cosmos tour, which was from Rome to London. I had little expectations, due to the cost in comparison with other tour companies, but it certainly exceeded my expectations! The hotels were great, the bus was brand new, the included and the optional excursions were fabulous! I was impressed with all of the above! The only read more thing I found disappointing was the tour seemed as though it ended at Calais, France. We said farewell to our Tour Director and Coach Driver in Calais and departed for England. We were told by our Tour Director we would be met by another Cosmos Representative in Dover, which we were, but this was only to direct us to the right bus for London. We were then driven from Dover to London with no Tour Director and even no communication, straight to our hotel. I felt this was a let down on Cosmos' behalf because London was not included in our tour whatsoever. Besides the London part of the tour, it really was an amazing journey. We were lucky to have some great people on tour with us, who made it even more special. Thank you to Global Journeys (Yvonne especially!) for helping us book our holiday, and making it so easy to relax and enjoy the beautiful sights!
I had an absolutely fantastic, brilliant holiday 1
Grand Tour of Switzerland
Carolyn Coe, Australia, Sep 2012
Thanks heaps Frances and Global Journeys for all your assistance. I had an absolutely fantastic, brilliant holiday. This was my first trip overseas and honestly Switzerland was just gorgeous. Marco and Michele were the best tour director and coach driver one could have hoped for. They could not do enough for all of us. The distance travelled each day read more was just right and the sightseeing, hotels, dinners, etc. etc. were organised thoughtfully and with consideration for all on board the 'Cosmos'. I am 60yrs young and travelled on my own but not once felt alone. I now have email friends from London, Ireland and America. WOW! Anyone thinking of going just get up and go! Trust me you will love it. What incredible memories I have for the rest of my life!
Absolutely wonderful tour 1
Lesley Dyer, Australia, Sep 2012
Absolutely wonderful tour. Saw and learnt so much that my head is still spinning!
Good value for money, will use Cosmos again 1
England, Scotland & Wales
John Smailes, Australia, Sep 2012
Judi and I considered the tour with Cosmos to be good value for money, and we found the hotels, excursions, breakfasts & designated evening meals all at a good standard and will use Cosmos again.
The Scottish Highlands were my highlight, such amazing views 1
England, Scotland & Wales
Yvonne, Australia, Sep 2012
I did a Cosmos tour of the UK Scotland and Wales and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The Tour Director Pat was a wealth of knowledge and funny too! Our driver Lee was very capable and at all times I felt confident in his driving. The Scottish Highlands were my highlight, such amazing views. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this tour to family and friends.
We have not long returned from our Trans-America Adventure Tour which took us from New York to LA with 42 other fantastic Aussies. Doris, our Tour Director was an absolutely delightful lady who was highly knowledgeable of the places we visited, kept us informed and entertained and looked out for our every need whilst on this 23 day tour. Michael our read more bus driver was also great, greeting us daily with a warm smile, keeping us safe whilst travelling and ensuring our luggage was delivered to and from our overnight accommodation. Accommodation was varied from 4 star hotels down to quaint log cabins but all were great to stay in, comfortable, clean, well located and memorable for all the right reasons. If you want a holiday that takes you from one side of the USA to the other with everything from big cities to magnificent canyons, forests, lakes, mountains and deserts and the bonus of seeing wild life in their natural habitat then you won't be disappointed. Finding Global Journeys on the internet was also a bonus for us. We have never experienced better customer service than with this company and we cannot thank Frances Carr enough for her professionalism and great service. If I needed to ask a question my emails would be answered within minutes and if I chose to call she always returned my calls as soon as she was able. On top of the fantastic service we received from Global Journeys, their prices are heaps cheaper than if we had gone to a local travel agent. Our documents arrived well before our departure and all details correct. Thank you so much Frances and Global Journeys.
Tour was a little rushed in some places 1
England, Scotland & Wales
Yvonne Morgan, Australia, Sep 2012
Tour was a little rushed in some places, e.g. Stratford on Avon and Grasmere, and too much time in others, e.g. Coventry - nothing there! Would have loved to spend more time in Bath, so much to see there. Tour Guide and Driver were excellent. A very enjoyable, informative tour and one I would recommend to anyone who is considering touring the UK.
As this was my first tour I wasn't sure what to expect but was very pleased with everything on tour. I traveled alone, twin share, but found everyone to be very friendly and I felt comfortable at all times. In every town or village, I felt I was given a history lesson as the tour guide gave lots of interesting info about each place visited. The tour read more was such that I now feel I would know what places I would like to revisit in the future.
Tour itself was well beyond my expectations 1
Highlights of Germany
Leanne Dwight, Australia, Sep 2012
It was a last minute decision to book this tour and Frances organised everything completely fuss free. The tour itself was well beyond my expectations, I couldn't believe my luck. Despite being a relatively low cost tour the hotels were of a very good standard (only a couple not as good as the others but certainly good enough and a couple were 5 star). read more Some meals and tours were also included, adding to the value for money. The destinations were spectacular, my fellow passengers a good mix nationalities and ages with everyone mixing well. The tour guide and driver were excellent (Lisa & Philippe, a big thank you). This experience was a winner, I'll be a repeat customer. (Ed: Review based on slightly different itinerary. Trip name and itinerary updated this season)
Overall it was a great tour. Very hectic given the distance we needed to travel but well worth it if you want to see a lot in a short period of time. Only complaints would be that the use of local maps at each destination would have been valuable (especially Amsterdam where we didn't get one) and the accommodation in Rome was very average - especially read more compared to the other hotels we stayed at during the trip. Thanks to all who helped make our trip enjoyable!
Just loved everything about Canada and Alaska 1
Canadian Masterpiece with Rocky Mountaineer & Alaska Cruise
Wendy Mackenzie, Australia, Sep 2012
OMG...what an awesome trip. We just loved everything about Canada and Alaska. The Rocky Mountaineer was fantastic, the coach tour unforgettable and the cruise up to Alaska was breathtaking! I would recommend this tour to anybody who is thinking of visiting Canada and Alaska. Georgie was extremely helpful and I will be contacting her again when I'm read more considering my next overseas trip!
I had the most wonderful time, our tour director Adam van der Heijden was a very informative director with lots of local knowledge. He had everyone's well being at heart. We had the experience of one of our travelling companions becoming very ill, Adam handled that with great care and concern we were very impressed. Everything was explained very well. read more Accommodation was excellent and we as a group had a good time together.
We loved almost everything about our tour 2
The Splendors of Italy
Mary-Anne Bilos, Australia, Sep 2012
We loved almost everything about our tour, the tour guide was great, he was very knowedgeable and very polite. We loved the sights, the whole experience was fantastic. We would definitely use Cosmos again when we travel next. Thank-you for a wonderful and memorable time.
Excellent itinerary with lots of included sightseeing & local tours 1
Jennifer Battye, Australia, Sep 2012
A fantastic overview of most of Europe neatly fitted into 27 days. An excellent itinerary with lots of included sightseeing & local tours, yet the ability to include optional tours that interest you. Majority of hotels great with Sorrento (Central Park, Massalubrense) below standards. Suggest optional tour to Mt. Titlis be much longer as not enough read more time on mountain. Our tour director, Leo Zaal was the perfect guide & definitely made our trip unforgettable! We were worried about taking 2 kids (11 & 13 years) but they had a terrific time (thank you Leo for making this happen). We would definitely travel Cosmos again. (Ed. Itinerary amended slightly and name changed from European Masterpiece to All About Europe in 2019)
Couldn't fault any hotel or city tour 1
Trans-American Adventure
Melissa Steffens , Australia, Sep 2012
Our Cosmos tour of the US was amazing. Our tour director was very helpful and very friendly. I would strongly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see as much of America as possible. Couldn't fault any hotel or city tour. Can't wait to join Global Journeys in 2013 to experience another wonderful part of this world I live in.
Excellent value for money. Great tour, very well organised, excellent tours included and offered as optionals. Coach very comfortable, free Wi-Fi on board a definite bonus. Hotels all good, tour guide good. Was a bit dubious of doing a coach tour but we thoroughly enjoyed it, would definitely do another one and would recommend Cosmos.
We went on two tours the first in September, doing the Irish Explorer tour. Both the Director Kevin Murphy and Jim the coach driver were very professional. This tour was all that we expected, great hotels, fantastic knowledge for the different counties. Kevins poems, short stories and songs made it a trip to remember. The optional tours were well balanced. read more Our second tour in October 15 was European Masterpiece , this tour was just as fantastic, a credit to the Cosmos staff.
Very diverse and good value for money 1
Trans-American Adventure
Lesley & Ken Brooks, Australia, Sep 2012
The tour was very diverse and good value for money. The Tour Director was excellent and every day had maps for us of the area we were travelling in. She was very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. Mary was the best tour director we have had in the many trips we have done. For a no frills tour the accommodation was good with only a couple read more of exceptions. I still don't know why Cosmos take you to the north rim of the Grand Canyon when the south rim is infinitely more superior and awesome. North rim is ho hum. This tour covered the big cities, New York, Chicago and Los Angeles and in between we saw awesome national parks, small towns, prairies and mighty rivers. Lunch and comfort stops were timely.
Tour was excellent value for money 1
Golden West Adventure
Vivien & Alan Shirley, Australia, Sep 2012
This tour was excellent value for money, we would have preferred one less night in Las Vegas and one extra night in San Francisco. The accommodation value wise was very good. Our tour director was very friendly and helpful. We plan on taking another coach tour probably the coast to coast USA in 2014.
