Panorama Great Britain and Ireland tour 0 , NSW, Australia, Jun 2023
Yes, it was a great trip I would recommend Trafalgar tours. Rose our tour director was great nothing was too much trouble for her. The trip was well researched and there was enough free time. I found booking my trip online a bit stressful as it is encouraged to send emails then you need to wait for a reply which can sometimes be 2 days later. (GJ: Hi ...read more Susan, we do everything in our power to get back to our our clients really quickly, but occasionally we have to wait to get a definitive response from the Operator. Hopefully next time things will move along at the pace you expect.)
The best of Britain & Ireland 7 , VIC, Australia, Oct 2019
Unfortunately on the last leg of our flights the priority tags were removed from our luggage & then the express checkout meant nothing in Melbourne, meaning we probably got out 40mins-1hr later than we could have. While the tour director was very good, looking back on it now & even half way through the tour everything he was talking about in relation ...read more to the days events & the stores to visit was either preparing us for the feedback or promoting stores potentially linked with Trafalgar. It was good having it all organised & being driven around but some days could have been left free for people to do what they wanted. Some of the timing was a bit off just to cater for a tour group. We didn't need to go to the Guinness factory at 10am just to beat the crowds, considering we had a whole day free of inclusions. Had we known more about the optional extras we may have forgone some of them. Some of the set meals weren't that great either but again having everything organised meant it was less stressful. (GJ. Perhaps next time you might consider Trafalgar's other brand CostSaver - less inclusions and more free time to do as you choose, which of course makes the trip cheaper as a result.)
A holiday filled with fantastic sights, food, entertainment & company 1 , VIC, Australia, Aug 2019
This was our third tour with Trafalgar & once again we were not disappointed. Brooke our travel guide was brilliant & went the extra mile to make our trip one to remember. The sights & scenery of the Scottish Highlands, Ireland, Wales & England were breathtaking, our date with The Edinburgh Tattoo was a night we will never forget. We met some amazing ...read more people on our trip which always makes these tours so enjoyable, a lot of laughs, good times & long time friends were made. Gary & Phil our coach drivers were top class drivers, driving & reversing through some very tight roads & manoeuvring through some very heavy traffic conditions. Our booking made through Hannah at Global Journeys was silky smooth with replies to any queries answered straight away.
Simply unforgettable 2 , WA, Australia, Jun 2019
Right from the start I was looked after very well by Jemma Rosen from Global Journeys, Australia: no request was too much for Jemma from the beginning to end of my tour/travel experience... Thank you very much, Jemma! Rachel Tomas our Tour Director was simply the best! Exceptionally professional, friendly, polite, caring and helpful. Simply unforge ...read morettable!
Fantastic Britain & Ireland Panorama   8 , VIC, Australia, Jun 2019
From the time I booked my trip with Global Journeys to the completion of my holiday the whole process was a pleasure. Jemma's communication was excellent - guiding me through the process to ensure everything would run smoothly which was especially important being a solo traveller.

My Trafalgar Tour was fantastic - my fourth which shows my loyalty ...read more and faith in the brand. Terry, our Tour Director, went the extra mile to ensure every traveller had a great travel experience - the best T.D. I have ever had. His attention to detail, super sense of humour and local knowledge made this a trip to remember.

I would not hesitate to recommend Global Journeys and Trafalgar Tours to anyone wanting to explore the world in a cost effective, time efficient way without compromising on comfort.
Fantastic trip of a lifetime   6 , QLD, Australia, Jun 2019
This was a trip of a lifetime. As always Trafalgar was a great company to tour with. We were taken to see a variety of different scenery, attractions and experiences.

My daughter and I both thoroughly enjoyed the trip from start to finish. Our favourite would have to be the Scottish highlands and the little Laggan hotel. Beautiful food there. Another ...read more favourite was the optional Irish cabaret with the Irish dancing and Noel Gittens, the comedian.

The ferry to Ireland was a great experience and the scenery on the drive to Killarney and the Ring of Kerry was beautiful. I also enjoyed the English countryside. We met a gypsy and stopped on the moors to see the wild ponies.

Our tour director Terry was 10/10. His commentary and knowledge of all the areas was great and he certainly made sure we all enjoyed the tour.
Wonderful Holiday 3 , Vic, Australia, Jul 2018
Our holiday is definitely one to remember. Jemma was excellent in responding to our enquiries. The tour was amazing in every way, we would not hesitate to recommend Global Journeys or Trafalgar Tours to others.
Britain & Ireland Panorama 4 , New Zealand, Jun 2018
On the whole it was a great trip. I think more own time was needed to relax and unwind. Only one opportunity to do laundry. Days were long, would have been nicer to arrive at hotel in afternoon. Arrival times were between 4.30- 7.00pm. A good mix of people, all got along easily.
Great way to see England/Scotland/Ireland & Wales 15 , VIC, Australia, Oct 2017
Juliet at Global Journeys was fabulous to deal with. Extremely efficient and get back to me within the day with any queries (even when I was overseas). Our trip was great with around 70% Aussies and great range of ages between approx. 45-70 so great group to mix with. Our guide Andrew was extremely knowledgeable with history of the countries which ...read more was fascinating.

As this was my first bus trip I had no expectations but it was busier than I thought it would be. Early mornings and full days and exhausted at the end of most days, but we did do and see a lot. So if you are thinking of a lazy, laid-back holiday this isn't for you. The accommodation was great and the quality of the food was also really good and a great variety.
Wonderful time travelling with Trafalgar through the UK and Ireland   5 , QLD, Australia, Sep 2017

Great 16 day bus tour of the UK and Ireland worry free trouble free. Just sit back and enjoy the sights. 8 , VIC, Australia, Apr 2017
Our first coach holiday so we had no pre-conceived idea of what to expect. We got used to travelling with 47 other people, who all turned out to be good fun. Leena our travel guide was excellent, knowledgeable and entertaining. The coach driver Simon was very helpful and an excellent driver - none better. All sights along the journey were interesting ...read more and enjoyable and accommodation and food were great. All in all a trip that will never be forgotten.

Wonderful trip to Britain & Ireland   7 , NSW, Australia, Oct 2016
The tour guide Jon & coach driver Derek made this first time coach tourer want to come back & do another tour. Everything was so easy with no worries about anything. Jon was a wealth of information & very patient and happy to help with anything. Derek was the calmest coach driver I've ever seen and able to get that in & out of very tricky situations. ...read more The weather was fabulous during our tour in October and we saw the change in colour of the trees & the country side was just amazing. I was able to see so much more than I would have managed on my own and stress free. Being a single female I was a little concerned about being included with couples etc but had nothing to worry about as everyone was so friendly & helpful. Will definitely do another tour with Trafalgar & recommend to everyone.
Great trip 1 , QLD, Australia, Aug 2016
Great tour with Trafalgar Tours of Uk and Ireland and booked through Global Journeys. Highlights for me included the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, Stonehenge, kissing the Blarney Stone, Lock Ness, Ring of Kerry and Glencoe.
Lovely trip to Btitain & Ireland with Trafalgar 0 , Australia, Jun 2016
Excellent itinerary was trouble free. The knowledge that our tour director has was impressive. He was cheerful and always willing to help. Thanks Emily for your outstanding service again, I have highly recommended Global Journeys to our OZ tour members, friends & colleagues. Looking forward to booking with you again.
Excellent tour with fabulous Tour Director 0 , VIC, Australia, Jun 2016
Very good tour covering all we expected to see. Accommodation was a little poor and largely on the outskirts but other than that excellent. Great Tour Director, he made the tour that much better (Andrew Thomson).
Good tour to get a taste of many UK highlights 1 , VIC, Australia, Apr 2016
This Trafalgar tour covered many of the highlights of the UK. Beautiful scenery, knowledgeable guide and excellent coach drivers made this a great way to get a taste of many of the highlights of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales.
Everything went like clockwork 0 , Australia, Sep 2015
Didn't have to worry about anything except getting back to the coach on time. Everything went like clockwork. Saw and did a huge amount of countryside, towns, cities and sights. Didn't have as much time as I would have liked in some places , but given the amount of territory covered it was a small trade off.
All members of our group are very happy 1 , VIC, Australia, Aug 2015
We were taken to places we wouldn't have had time nor means to get there. The hidden treasures that were pointed out to us were "gems". Matt Bauer, our tour director was perfect for the job - humorous, caring, very informative and most of all fun! We took all optional tours offered with the tour & thought they were all value for money & complemented ...read more the trip so well. All members of our group were very happy with our experiences. Well done Trafalgar.
Well balanced coach tour 0 , SA, Australia, Jun 2015
Global Journeys service and experience was excellent. We both really enjoyed the Britain and Ireland Panorama tour, the standard of accommodation was very good, the coach had plenty of leg room and was spotless and in great condition every day. The tour itself covered about 5000 km over the 16 days, plenty of time is spent on the coach but is well balanced ...read more between spending time seeing the sites throughout the tour. We did not take up all the optional excursions, especially the evening meals which gave us time to have a look around ourselves throughout the tour. Overall great value for money and would recommend this tour.
Very good tour for those who like to see maximum sights 0 , VIC, Australia, Jun 2015
The coach tour was very good and the Tour Director was excellent providing historic information, local knowledge and excellent organisation skills. The coach was comfortable and the driver demonstrated magnificent driver skills especially on the narrow winding roads. The accommodation and provided meals were good, providing value for money. All in all ...read more a very good tour for those who like to see maximum sights and have everything organised for them.
