The tour was excellent, especially made so by a fantastic tour guide and a great group of people. I think it was also helped by only having about 35 people on the bus, so plenty of room and opportunity for us all to chat with each other while travelling. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the tour and look forward to touring again with Cosmos.
Hotels were better than I expected 1
Paris, Normandy and the Loire
Chris Goldsmith, Australia, Jun 2012
Fantastic tour guide (Rickardo) and driver (Dominic), Great guys. Hotels were better than I expected. Good tour, great fun. I am now looking forward to my next trip in the future. Yvonne at Global Journeys was very efficient with the arrangements, and I will call on her again next time.
The whole trip was excellent. The most memorable experience of our lives. Thank you Frances for accommodating all of our needs and helping us make our dreams come true.
Thanks Frances for your great help and answering questions as required. Much appreciated. Great Company and a Great Tour of France. Napoleon Route from Provence to Grenoble was not fully followed. Lyon city was not seen. Both mentioned in the brochure and were highlights for me. Trip very very well planned. My hand baggage at Toulouse was mislaid. read more It was later located at the hotel and given to me with well packed bottle smashed. Our Tour Director, Timea Okors was very repetitive and rude to me at times. Marc (French) and Martin (German) the coach drivers were quite good. Many thanks I look forward to another Cosmos experience one day.
A fantastic way to explore Europe 1
Craig & Nicola Green, Australia, May 2012
We had a great trip on our Cosmos All About Europe tour (previously named European Masterpiece) . It was a fantastic way to explore Europe and everything was organised very well. We enjoyed our first experience with coach touring and have already planned and booked another Cosmos tour to Canada with Global Journeys in 2013.
We would definitely recommend this tour 1
Canadian Masterpiece with Rocky Mountaineer & Alaska Cruise
Judith & Geoff Street, Australia, May 2012
Great trip, amazing scenery, good value for money. Unfortunately Rocky Mountaineer trip cut short because of rail strike, but tour guides did their best to compensate. Loved Lake Louise and Banff. The only disappointment was the length of time in Whistler, we would have loved another day and night. Cruise was very relaxing, food and service excellent. read more Alaska scenery and Glacier fantastic. We would definitely recommend this tour. In fact friends of ours have booked this tour in August.
Would not hesitate to book again with Global Journeys 2
New York City, Niagara Falls & Washington DC
Lance Black, Australia, May 2012
I researched the different tours that were available and decided on this Cosmos tour with Global Journeys. I was not disappointed and we had a terrific time. I received great service from Yvonne, my tour consultant. Our guide Brett was very pleasant and showed a great knowledge of all facets of the tour. As with all coach tours there was a lot of travelling read more but the breaks and places we stopped helped to make the journeys go painlessly. The accommodation was of a very good standard with good facilities. I would not hesitate to book again with, or recommend, Global Journeys.
Had a great time traveled 10,171kms and saw some spectacular scenery, even got to see a grizzly bear cross the road in front of coach. Best value trip we have ever been on, hotels were excellent. Thank you Cosmos for a wonderful trip and a big thank you to Frances for all your help. Will definitely use Global Journeys again.
Everybody was amazed how beautiful the country is 1
Trans-American Adventure
Lucy Soliman, Australia, May 2012
The tour was excellent! It was very well organised. It covered a lot of amazing cities and the best scenery. Everybody was happy and amazed at how beautiful the country is. I was happy with the food and service. I would like to travel with you again because you to know the best places to take us to and your experience is next to none.
Our second Cosmos tour and it didn't disappoint 1
The British Isles in Depth
Janice & Alan Caldwell, Australia, May 2012
Everything went well. Great tour director (Andrew Hynde) and driver (Lee Williams). Information given about the tour and history was great. Pity about Andrew's music choice. Accommodation was very good except for Kensington Place in London. Better than European tour. Thank you Georgie for your effort. Every question answered promptly and everything read more turned out well. One recommendation is for Cosmos to allow to book double accommodation rather than twin. They could include a cover 'subject to availability'. Our sincere thankyou for organising a great holiday for us. Look forward to further holidays.
Me and my brother enjoyed the trip immensely 1
Trans-American Adventure
Lucy Soliman, Australia, May 2012
It was very well organised. We were fascinated by the scenery and so much to do and see. The tour guide and the driver went out of their way to help us. It was the best trip so far. Thank you Frances for organising everything for us.
Highly recommend Global Journeys, Cosmos tours and this tour 1
Carolyn Arnold, Australia, May 2012
The All About Europe tour (previously named European Masterpiece) was all I expected - a snapshot of a lot of countries. Our tour guide - Joe Shearer was excellent, his knowledge of the languages and history were just amazing. He made sure we were looked after everywhere we went and every night at dinner made sure we had enough to eat. He is worth read more his weight in gold or more. When the tour finished and we had to say goodbye it was like we were losing a family member, especially since we relied on him to tell us when, what and where to go for 27 days. More time in some places would have been great, but we can now plan to go back to those places in discover them in more depth. The only downfalls were that were in a small group of 19 and missed out on some optional tours as not enough wanted to go - we didnt think it was fair that we had to miss out because of this. Another downfall was we only had one night in Germany and and that was near Cologne airport so we could not go anywhere to see anything and also only one night in Amsterdam. Two nights in each of these countries would have been better...maybe cutting out Greece. I would highly recommend Global Journeys, Cosmos and the tour.
Overall tour was excellent. 1

Trans-American Adventure
Lucy Soliman, Australia, May 2012
Thank you Frances for helping us with everything that we needed. My brother and I are eternally greatful to you. The tour was very well organised . It was perfect. We didn't want it to end. The hotels were very comfortable. The food provided was very nice. We saw the most important touristic places. The views and sceneries are out of this world. The read more coach was very comfortable.

Unbelievable how much you can see in 15 days 1
The Best of Europe
Kelly and Joe Di Bella, Australia, May 2012
The tour was amazing. Unbelievable how much you can see in 15 days. We saw everything from the Eiffel Tower to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. We experienced things we only dreamed about like the 'Changing of the Guard' in London to standing in the middle of the mighty Colosseum in Rome. The optional tours were value for money, and even though we only participated read more in just over half of what was offered, we are satisfied that our time was utilized well. Our tour guide Attila, was very informative and very easy to talk to and get alone with. The pace of this tour is very fast, as there were a lot of one night stays. But overall, (even though we were tired most nights) was extremely happy with the amount of distance we traveled and the amazing things that we were lucky enough to witness. Also we feel that our Tour Consultant Georgie, was very easy to correspond with, very accessible, (even to the point where she was answering emails on her days off) and we are very grateful to her for organising such a wonderful first overseas experience for us. Thanks heaps.
A very relaxing tour stopping in spectacular places 1
Gourmet Rome, Sorrento & Capri
John McKeon, Australia, May 2012
Our tour was of the Amalfi coast and Capri. We absolutely loved the tour and we loved the tour director Savio. It was a very relaxing tour stopping in spectacular places with amazing scenery especially Capri. We have recommended this tour to all our friends. We will certainly be looking at your site when we book future tours as we have travelled with read more you before and always have been happy.
We really enjoyed our trip to France 1
Paris, Normandy and the Loire
Ian & Jacqueline Allan, Australia, May 2012
It was our first Bus Tour and we will probably do more. Our tour guide, Ricardo was excellent, knowledgeable and very easy to get along with, and a couple of the local guides were also very good. The service and the places we saw were excellent. Out of all the hotels we stayed in only one was very disappointing, thankfully it was only for one night. read more For ease of travel it was great and we didn't have to worry about our luggage for the whole tour, it was always on the bus for us and in our hotel room when we arrived, my husband loved that. We would recommend Global Journeys to our friends.
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves 3
Trans-American Adventure
Patricia & Brian Cooper, Australia, May 2012
The tour was very good and we had a brilliant tour guide in Scott and a great driver in Eric. We saw so much and the only part which for us Australians and English on board was a rather long boring day was the touring around Washington visiting the war cemeteries as visiting so many became rather tedious and time could have been better spent touring read more around Washington. Yellowstone Park could all have been seen in one day and then perhaps the long drive from there to next town could have been halved by staying overnight somewhere else. When we booked our tour we were not informed that shuttle pick up was included and as we didn't get our tickets until 2 weeks before we left, (Ed. This is standard from Cosmos) we only discovered it then but we had already booked our own shuttle. Some of the people on the coach trip informed us they had had a shuttle provided to pick them up at New York as well so that was rather disappointing that this information was never given to us. The New York Hotel - Holiday Inn Express Times Square - was not very good. Good location but our room was never cleaned properly and we had to keep asking for soap and towels. We were there for 6 days and the floor was never vacuumed. The restaurant area is so tiny and badly set up so that everyone congregates in one corner trying to cook toast and get cereal and never enough seating for all the guests.
A great trip made even better by great our tour guide and driver 2
Trans-American Adventure
Brian Cooper, Australia, May 2012
Was a great trip - made even better by great our tour guide Scott and driver Eric. The only couple of things from a non American point of view was that the visit in Washington of all the cemeteries was just too much and everyone on our coach complained that after 2 we didin't need to see any more! Visit to Jacksonville was not something one could get read more excited over - perhaps just make the Yellowstone National Park a one day trip. Recommending to our friends who intend to take this trip this year.
An exceptional value for money tour where all things had been considered and covered by Cosmos. Great itinerary and well planned tour set at a good pace, allowing time to explore by yourself or with new found friends. Our Tour Director was extremely well versed in the history of sites and places driven through during the tour. Hotels and meals were read more all of good quality. The coach was comfortable and the driver made you feel totally safe whilst on the road. Yvonne was our Tour Consultant and it was a pleasure to deal with her on the phone and via email. Yvonne delivered as promised all information on time and in detail. No question was too hard for her and made my first overseas tour a wonderful experience. I will certainly use Global Journeys again to arrange my next tour.
