Best off Germany 1 , ACT, Australia, Jun 2023
Tracey did a great job with organisation. The tour guide was excellent, great German language and knowledge. The coach group was a great mix of age ranges. The Best of Germany did not depict how much of the tour was devoted to war history, nor did I expect to have such long days sitting on a coach which was not good for me as I have Peripheral Artery ...read more Disease. Hotel accommodation was fine except for being on outskirts of city - not my preference and therefore would not repeat. The Sheraton Hotel in Offenbach was disappointing in that the aircon hadn't been working properly for weeks - hardly a recommendation for German engineering.
Best of Germany - five stars   2 , NSW, Australia, Apr 2023
Highly recommend the Best of Germany tour. The tour director and local guides were outstanding. Incredibly insightful, thoughtful, and generous with their time. Our tour director Agnes Kruger, was so funny, kind, generous with daily sweets and songs, so helpful, even organised birthday cake and presents for me. We all told her she was outstanding. ...read more The hotels and breakfast were very generous and had loads of variety. Drivers were very skillful amongst tiny streets.
Loved it! 3 , VIC, Australia, Jun 2019
Maya is a great Tour Director, very friendly, approachable and full of knowledge about the history and current details of Germany. Would love to travel with her again! Peter the driver was a caring person, excellent driver and always helpful. Trafalgar - reintroduction of name tags for fellow passengers please!
Best of Germany 2 , VIC, Australia, Sep 2018
Very good trip, excellent tour director and coach driver and the route of the trip. We only feel the coach seat a little bit narrow for leg movement; the schedule of the trip was a little tight for aged people over 70.
Exciting trips 2 , NSW, Australia, Jul 2018
This trip is lovely and Rob is certainly is accredited for it. Thanks as well to Hannah and Global Journeys.
Carefree holiday 1 , VIC, Australia, Jul 2017
Everything is taken care of when you travel with a tour company. No need to worry about missing trains or carrying heavy suitcases. You have enough time to look around each place you stop. Touring with new friends you meet was my highlight. Global Journeys took care of everything, highly recommend this company. They keep you informed. Jemma was very ...read more professional.
Wonderful history and cultural review 2 , NSW, Australia, Jun 2017
Global Journeys did a great job of making the tour happen! As promised we toured all around the major cities and had great sunny weather to boot! Coach travel and WIFI is top notch. Hotels were mainly above average but a few somewhat remote (Munich) so hard to then go back and sightsee. We visited the highlights of each town especially the Altstadt ...read more (old town) areas and castles/churches. Quite a contrast to the modern shopping available in other parts of a few towns!

Trafalgar Tour Guide was excellent - knowledgeable, personable and flexible.This was my first experience with tour travel. I found the pace a bit hectic and would travel with a friend next time or my husband. Twin share doesn't always work out. Overall, excellent value for money. Extra sights were added and the tour delivered on its promise. Glad I went and toured with Global Journeys and Trafalgar.
Excellent tour of Germany 0 , QLD, Australia, Jul 2016
This was a well organised tour which enabled us to see a lot of the main cities in Germany in a short space of time. The tour director ( Esther) was fantastic, nothing was too much trouble. Each time we arrived at an hotel, all we had to do was collect our key from Esther and head off to our room. All the check in was already sorted and in most cases ...read more our cases were already in our room waiting for us. We have been on these kind of trips before with other companies, and we've enjoyed them all but I can't rate Trafalgar highly enough. We will definitely be travelling with them again.
Germany was a great country to visit 1 , WA, Australia, Oct 2015
For this tour, our tour guide was Colette Endstrum. Colette was an absolute mine if information about Germany, it's history, culture and politics. This was of great interest to both my sister and myself. Colette made the group feel as if it had been her best tour and this is areal skill. Petre, the driver was a very skilled , and was very courteous ...read more and helpful - especially as my sister had some physical struggles. Germany was a great country to visit.
Coach driver and tour leader were excellent 0 , NSW, Australia, Aug 2015
The coach driver and tour leader were excellent. Although I didn't do many of the optional extras as most seemed unnecessary. It would have been nice if we had more time in Hamelin. Otherwise all good.
Would not want to remove anything from the tour 1 , VIC, Australia, Aug 2015
We had a very good time meeting lots of interesting and friendly people and would not want to eliminate anything from the tour. The tour director was very good. His discussion on various areas was very informative although sometime a little lengthy. The coach driver was excellent. However we felt that the tour could be another two days longer to eliminate ...read more some of the longer days on the coach. Planning the tour to target a max 3-4 hours on the bus on any day rather than 6-7 hours days would improve the overall feel and comfort. Hotels were generally good with Berlin in particular being a highlight as it was right in the middle of the city. Choosing hotels that are centrally located would be a great addition. Some for the included meals were not that good. There were some organisational issues that could be reviewed that would improve the overall tour i.e. the Hamburg harbour cruise could become included in the tour and replace the current poor hotel dinner.
I can't wait to do another! 1 , NSW, Australia, Aug 2015
We thoroughly enjoyed our Trafalgar tour, everything was excellent! We got to see so much of Germany with a really experienced and amazing tour director who always pointed out the special insights that other tourists wouldn't see. From the first day our tour director made us feel like family. He made the trip fun and all we had to do was show up on ...read more time. Germany is a wonderful country and this tour really helped us see the highlights as well as things off the beaten track. I can't wait to do another Trafalgar tour!
Efficient way to get an overview of Germany 0 , VIC, Australia, May 2015
This tour is an efficient (for time and cost) way to get an overview of Germany, to see some of its main cities, learn about the war crimes, get a sense of the former East, and drive through 2,200km of farmland and forests and wind turbines. Budget for the approx $500 of optional experiences however, as most of the good stuff is on them. The hotels ...read more were comfortable 4 star with a new one almost every day. However, some did not have decent WiFi (bad signal strength or costing up to 25 per night).
