Thank you for a wonderful experience 2 , Australia, Jul 2014
Bob and I could find no fault whatsoever with our tour or our bookings. It was all so wonderful. We can't say what was best as it was all excellent. We really believe everyone should go on this tour. Our guide was so passionate and knowledgeable about Italy and in turn we learned a lot about Italy. Would definitely travel with CostSaver again. Thank ...read more you for a wonderful experience.
It was amazing trip 1 , Australia, Sep 2013
Had a fantastic time on this tour. Met people from all over the world who were also on the tour and are now new friends. The destinations were great and the local tour guides were very informative. Most of the hotels were great and even the ones that were a little bit smaller were OK because of their location. Overall it was amazing trip and thanks ...read more to Michelle from Global Journeys for organizing it all for me.
We got to see SO MUCH and enjoyed all of it 5 , Australia, Sep 2013
My Husband and I absolutely loved our tour! We had so much fun and saw so many more things than we expected. We picked to do this tour as we were on our honeymoon and we wanted something that was a lot nicer than the cheaper tours that stay in hostels and this was amazing. All hotels bar one was beautiful. Better than we expected. The hotel in Florence ...read more was terrible We didn't even have a real bed to sleep on it was a mattress on a blank of wood which was on a box smaller than the mattress. Other than that we loved it. We expected to have a pretty relaxed tour being on our honeymoon but this was very fast paced. We had 6:15am wakes most days and had very busy days. We agreed at the end of the tour that we are glad it was like that as we got to see SO MUCH and enjoyed all of it. We did need a holiday after to just chill out as we were so exhausted but still loved the whole tour.
A terrifically good time and enjoy every second of it 0 , Australia, Jun 2013
Impressed with Trafalgar organization and customer care, our Travel Director was very entertaining with a high knowledge of Italian history and culture. My wife and I had a terrifically good time and enjoy every second of it - and we learned about Italy!
I will certainly recommend Global Journeys to friends and family 4 , Australia, May 2013
The Italian Scene tour was great. Our guide Fabritizo was very knowledgeable & our coach driver Francesco whilst he couldn't speak English, was awesome. Some of the hotels weren't so good (hard beds) and a little out of the way & breakfasts were generally typical Continental breakfasts, ie... a lot of pastries but sufficient. If you didn't do the optional ...read more tours offered, you were sometimes left in hotels that were quite a distance from the town, and public transport was often not available and taxis very expensive. However in saying that the optional tours were good. Meals in Tuscany & end of tour meal under the Colosseum were fantastic. The seafood in Burano was woeful (not fresh). This tour is rushed, (but the descriptions does state its lively) & I would have loved to stay longer in Venice (maybe see Venice at night) but we were taken back to the hotel by 6pm... & there was nothing to do in the hotel as its a fair way away from Venice. All in all, this tour was a great introduction to Italy. We met some interesting people on the tour from Aus/NZ/US/SA & Canada which made the tour heaps of fun. We have kept contact with them and hope to catch up with them in the future. Lastly, I'd like to thank Georgie our Tour consultant for arranging everything and her professionalism. I will certainly recommend Global Journeys to all my friends and family.
It ticked all the boxes 1 , Australia, Sep 2012
The Italian Scene tour was great. It ticked all the boxes. I am the type of person that when I travel I pick one country and by the end of the trip I want to be able to say 'I never have to go back to that country as I have seen / done everything I wanted to so onto the next country'. I can definitely say that after doing the Italian Scene Tour. I can ...read more make that comment and now head to the next country. Without this tour I would still be in the queues waiting to get into major tourist sites example Vatican Museum and Colosseum. Plus the booking experience with Frances was excellent. I am a tough judge on anyone doing my travel bookings as I previously worked for over a decade in Corporate Travel as a Senior International Travel Consultant, as I was expected to give high customer service I do expect this and Frances exceeded this. Her customer service is of the highest level.
It gave me a taste of Italy in my designated time frame 0 , Australia, Aug 2012
My tour guide was excellent. He shared his knowledge of historical Italian religion and politics as well as the best tourist spots including shopping spots and shopping hints. He has a great personality and had us laughing all the way around Italy. The tour was perfect for me, it gave me a taste of Italy in my designated time frame. I loved the sites ...read more I saw and took up most of the optional tours which I thought were well priced. Our tour guide told us along the way to not go home with any regrets - I listened to him and will cherish the items I brought home that will remind me of a wonderful trip for the rest of my life!
Quality at an affordable cost 2 , Australia, Jun 2012
Georgie Walpole, my consultant was amazing in all my communications - prompt, honest, upfront and courteous. Could not have asked for more. Travel Director, Jeff Allen of Trafalgar Tours was very knowledgeable, meticulous, friendly with a very good sense of humour. Made sure everyone on the tour knew the next day's schedule and made sure to count the ...read more number of people to ensure 'no one missing without info' before the coach left for another destination. The accommodation was 1st class however a bit away from city centre. But this is to keep the costs down. And also where is the time & energy left to enjoy CBD proximity? I will recommend Global Journeys to all of my friends. This is a mob one can rely on for quality at an affordable cost.
Excellent guide, thoroughly enjoyed the tour 0 , Australia, Jun 2012
I thoroughly enjoyed the Trafalgar Italian Scene tour. Our tour guide Antonino Cacace made it fun and interesting with his sense of humour and local knowledge. He memorized our names very quickly and made sure all the tour participants met and mixed together and enjoyed themselves.
We would recommend highly 0 , Australia, May 2012
A great tour that we would recommend highly. The Tour Guide was superb and the accommodation first class. We saw a lot of Italy in the time frame which we would have struggled to see touring by ourselves.
A perfect snapshot of such a beautiful country 0 , Australia, Apr 2011
Our tour was fantastic. It was well organised and the tour guide was exceptional in his knowledge of the country and history past and present. He was unbelievably supportive when we unfortunately had our passports stolen. We would so recommend this tour to others as it gives a perfect snapshot of such a beautiful country while feeling safe in the hands ...read more of a very capable and friendly bus driver and excellent local tour guides,enjoying the pleasure of meeting new friends and having fun and taking in the breathtaking scenery.
