A wonderful trip. Perhaps on our sightseeing with specialist guides time can be set aside to take photographs as memories can fade but not the photos. Both Justine and Kris were great each in their own way, definitely made the tour safe and enjoyable. Yvonne and Global Journeys you are the best. Hope to have another holiday in 2018.
An introduction to European countries, covering the main attractions. Fast paced with a focus on packing in the attractions. Tour guide was knowledgeable on European history and did everything to make the tour run smoothly.
In its current form a very disappointing trip - well below the standard of Trafalgar's UK/European trips. Too many low lights and not nearly enough highlights. The Global Journeys involvement was professional as usual and I will continue to book other trips through them.

Highlights of Eastern Europe
Alison & Michael, VIC, Australia, Jun 2017
This was a wonderful tour. I learned so much about the history of these amazing countries particularly around the time of WW2. Seeing Austwitz and Birkenau and visiting the sites of the ghettos are haunting memories which will stay with me for ever.
Most of the hotels were fantastic and a couple were a bit ordinary . They were all in good locations read more and plenty of time was included to relax. The organisation at the hotels was excellent and our tour guide quickly sorted out any problems.
Personally I would have liked two or three of the city highlights tours to have begun after 10.00am so we could get up later and really enjoy the glorious breakfasts. Perhaps the optional tours could be first on these days and the city tour afterwards. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable and thought provoking experience.

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.

This was a really great tour, one of the best we have done. The scenery, particularly in Norway where we spent most of our time, was spectacular. Our Trafalgar tour guide was very organised and had great knowledge of the countries we visited. He provided very helpful information on the tour which helped us choose very interesting optional excursions read more and gave us a great local knowledge of the countries we visited.
A good trip overall 1
Mahesika & Family, VIC, Australia, Jun 2017
We had a tight schedule from the start and were on the move every day. A lot of long distance travel and some days were exhausting. It was always late afternoon when we reached our hotel and there was no time to relax. The optionals were good but when you chose to do it there was no free time left to explore the places on our own. The hotels were read more of good standard. A couple of the chosen dinners were average. Tour Director, Christy was great, well informed, enthusiastic and took a lot of care in our comfort and requests. Don was the best coach driver. We had good company in our tour group and it was a pleasure to meet them all.
Fantastic tour that was well organised and hassle free 7
Grand European
Deb & Caitlin, SA, Australia, Jun 2017
We saw so much of Europe and every day had wow factor. The itinerary was perfect for us! This is a fast paced tour, we covered 6,970 kms from London to London in 22 days but we saw so much, it was great value! You do need to have a reasonable level of fitness as there is a lot of walking at times on uneven ground. We handled this with ease but a few read more on our trip struggled to keep up at times so thought it was worth a mention.
Our tour director Bernie was excellent and informative. He was very well organised and our tour ran like clockwork. His knowledge and passion for Europe shone through and we felt well cared for and in safe hands. Our driver Claudio was also very competent and the bus was kept spotless. We really appreciated VIP access into many of the main attractions to miss the crowds and queues. We did most of the optional excursions and enjoyed them. We took the Eurostar return option and it was good to get back to London from Paris in 2 hours & 15 mins after sitting on a bus for 21 days.
Accommodation standards varied a little from country to country, but overall the standard was satisfactory to high with the rooms being comfortable and clean. We would certainly recommend travelling with Trafalgar and booking tours through Global Journeys. It was a hassle free trip from start to finish. It was easy to book online, the Global Journeys staff were very efficient in answering all our queries and they also appeared to be the most competitively priced for this tour.

Great time of year to travel and great way to see Britain and Ireland in a short time. We thought the hotel choice could have been better, location wise and comfort. Would have liked time to shower and change for dinner. Tour guide very good and driver absolutely amazing!
We thoroughly enjoyed the best of Ireland tour. Tour director very good providing extensive knowledge on the history of both countries. The local guides were also outstanding. Would also recommend the inclusions and optional which provided some outstanding scenery (Atlantic Coast) entertainment, hospitality and humour.
Would recommend this tour to all.

At short notice decided to book a tour of the Balkans with Trafalgar for my daughter and myself. Madeline at Global Journeys was a tremendous help throughout this process and her level of professionalism was outstanding. The tour went extremely well. I have travelled with Trafalgar previously and as always, the quality of the tour was very good, offering read more a high standard of accommodation, food and tour direction. The itinerary was well planned and well paced, allowing us time to enjoy the destinations at our leisure. Having also travelled with Globus and Cosmos, I would rate Trafalgar as the best choice and would certainly book future holidays through Global Journeys because of their knowledge and level of service with was first class.
Very well organised and both he travel director and coach driver were very friendly, knowledgeable and went "went -the -extra -mile" to make the experience enjoyable.
I loved this trip to Italy. It was absolutely wonderful and would highly recommend it. It was quite fast paced but we got to see everything! Trafalgar is the way to go. I was a little disappointed having to pay for the additional excursions but chose which ones we wanted to go on. Had a couple of rest days when we didn't attend the excursions though. read more Loved everywhere we went, what we saw and the hotels where we stayed. Sorrento and Venice were my favourite spots.
Trafalgar Spectacular Rockies Tour 1
Spectacular Canadian Rockies
Kerry & Lorraine, NSW, Australia, May 2017
Kerry and myself really loved this spectacular Rockies tour, this is our third Trafalgar tour and we loved each one, we totally enjoyed walking on the glazier with the snow falling and drinking baileys, each day was special with different activities, tour guide and bus driver were wonderful, would highly recommend this tour to anyone. Thank you Trafalgar.
It was a fantastic experience to see a fair bit of Europe, not a lot of free time though due to covering a lot of interesting places. The fantastic Tour Director made the trip A- Grade and a lot of fun as did the nice coach driver. I would recommend Global Journeys again for there great price and service and also Trafalgar for putting together a great tour, very professional.
The train journeys through Switzerland highlighted the spectacular scenery of the mountains, lakes and countryside. Stopping at cities like St. Moritz and Zermatt gave the most beautiful sights of snow-capped mountains, including the Matterhorn, while Lucerne showcased the beauty of the lakes as well as the history of the country with its incredible read more buildings. It was a wonderful and unforgettable journey. Travelling on the train allowed us to to stand and wander, giving us the opportunity to view the landscapes from either side and behind the train. The only drawbacks were having to change trains and not having enough time to explore Geneva. But otherwise, a great experience!
The trip was a non stop adventure through Southern Ireland. Experiencing local cuisine, beautiful countryside, history and so much more. I found all the staff from Trafalgar extremely helpful, from before I even left for my holiday to the shuttle dropping me off at the airport to come home. A truly wonderful holiday.
Great tour for a week long journey through Scotland. Covered all the big highlights and had some great optional excursions. The guide and bus driver were excellent.
We had a fast paced and busy trip. Little time to relax but excellent for updating knowledge of places we have never been before. Morocco was a little confronting but our tour director Raymond and driver Pedro were able to handle any problems in a relaxed manner making it a pleasant journey for all. A little more time in Portugal would have been nice. read more We did most of the optional extras and would recommend these to get the best from the trip. I would not hesitate to recommend Trafalgar as a coach tour company.
Holiday of a lifetime 12
Spectacular Canadian Rockies with Alaska Cruise
Debra & Lance, QLD, Australia, May 2017
My husband and I booked our Canada and Alaska tour through Global Journeys and it was absolutely the best holiday we've ever had. We started with the Alaskan cruise then toured the Rockies with Trafalgar. Everything was so well planned and exactly what we'd been hoping for from this long dreamed of trip.
The accommodation everywhere was excellent, read more the food was incredible, the sites visited are bucket list worthy and we've made heaps of news friends. We took up a lot of the extra options available on both the cruise and Trafalgar tour and they were all worth every cent. Even without the optional extras though the trip would have been brilliant. I doubt we would have seen or experienced half as much if we weren't on the tour.
I would recommend one change for most though which is tour first then cruise. The land tour is fairly fast paced with early starts.
