Amazing Tour Through the New England Fall Foliage   2 , NSW, Australia, Sep 2019
Another seamless booking through Global Journeys, another 5 Star experience using Trafalgar Tours. The Autumn Colours tour through New England was easily one of the best trips I have ever done. Trafalgar is an excellent operator; their itinerary took us through quaint and charming towns and we saw the most incredible, picturesque views of the autumnal ...read more colours of their 'fall' season. The accommodations were all excellent - wonderful locations, superior rooms, and the meals were delicious. Our tour director, Dave, was very friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about every area we went to; his commentary was diverse, including information about the history, culture, architecture and unknown facts and trivia.

For the service, the accommodation and the experience - this tour was worth every cent. We all agreed we would do this exact tour again. Our only negative was how short it was - 8 days just wasn't enough and everyone on the bus agreed we would like it to be at least 12 days - there is just so much to see and experience in that region.

This was my fifth booking through Global Journeys and they proved yet again why I don't want to book through anyone else. Hannah responded to all of my emails promptly and nothing was too difficult; she made the booking so quick and easy. Like Trafalgar, the service and cost of booking through Global Journeys is what makes me a repeat customer and is why I will continue to use them in the future.
Wonderful Autumn Scenery 2 , QLD, Australia, Oct 2016
We did this Trafalgar tour starting 2 October and ending 10 October this year. It was a good time to go as we saw lots of beautiful colours ranging from bright yellow, orange and into reds and the weather was very good and mild. It is a very fast paced tour with mostly early starts and long days in the coach and late arrivals at our hotel. Not a lot ...read more of free time. Unfortunately our tour guide and coach driver had not done this tour before and I think we missed out on a lot of local knowledge and guidance (sometimes even where the public toilets were). The guide spent most of the trip on her phone googling answers to our questions or trying to find where the coach could park, or what road to take. Hence, we got lost and missed turns and had to backtrack often. One day we stopped at a town (Portland) which we apparently weren't supposed to visit but she tweaked the itinerary (meaning they took the wrong turn?). It was about 10.30 in the morning and we were told this was our lunch stop and we had a couple of hours free time. We all ended up buying take-away lunches and eating them back on the coach. She told us to go to the tourist info centre to find where the toilets were. I don't think this is good enough for a company like Trafalgar. We have travelled with them a few times and never experienced anything like this. Also the coach broke down inside Acadia National Park (one of the highlights) so we only saw half of the park. As I said, we did see some nice colours and the accommodations were mostly high standard. I would have rated it higher with a more experienced guide and driver. Booking with Global Journeys, as always was easy and hassle-free.
A great experience and I had so much fun 3 , Australia, Sep 2012
Trafalgar's '8 Day Autumn Colours' tour of the USA was spectacular. The tour description stated 'Immerse yourself in the auburn hues of Eastern USA on this fascinating autumn itinerary that visits Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. See the quaint villages of New England, explore Acadia National Park, journey through the rolling countryside ...read more of the Berkshires and discover Revolutionary War history in Lexington and Concord.' True to word. Travelling solo for the first time to USA I decided to do a tour as part of my holiday. The tour director and coach driver were great. The tour director was very informative and organised. All travellers were great to be with and everyone got along so well with each other. At each destination you were given opportunities to explore by yourself or join 'new found friends' for meals and walks etc. Stop overs and accommodation were excellent throughout. I paid the 'single room supplement' which added to the overall cost but well worth it. The pace of the tour was reasonable. Overall, the tour was a great experience and I had so much fun. I met some wonderful people on the tour that I am staying in contact with. I would definitely do another Trafalgar tour again. I booked my tour through Global Journeys using their online services, which was very straightforward, easy and effortless. My consultant, Georgie, was great and answered all my concerns.
