This trip is not for the faint hearted, on the go 24/7, but it was fantastic with more "WOW" moments than you can count on both hands. Just when you think nothing could top the recent experience, another one pops up to equal or better it! The trip was made even better by the weather, which was good to hot all the way round, but the tour director - Vicki read more Townsend was, in one word Sensational! Her knowledge & timing of history, music, & bad jokes, made this trip a complete standout, she is in every sense of the word "a true professional " so much so, that if we were to take another trip with Trafalgar (which is most likely ) we would attempt to follow her itinerary.
A magical experience travelling through Bohemia 2
Bohemian Highlights
Anita & James Davies, WA, Australia, Jul 2016
Firstly booking our trip with Hannah Campbell was so easy, Hannah answered the many questions we put to her, always giving us positive responses. She is at the height of her profession. Bohemian Highlights was a busy, full on tour, everything went perfectly, city tours, regional meals, be my guest dinning, and hidden secrets. This only happened because read more of the super efficiency of our wonderful tour director Bill Jones. His time management skills kept the tour on track, historical knowledge was exceptional and captivating. Wonderful people skills, showed consideration for the older members of the group, making himself available for any questions or requests, plus keeping us informed of our daily schedule by email, making for a happy contended tour group.
Excellent local city guides, proud to be showing off their relevant cities, also the expertise of the two coach drivers, who kept us on time, and more importantly safe. Successful Optional Highlights to name just two, were the Farmhouse Dinner and Polka Party, which was a fun night with plenty of vodka and lots to eat, in contrast to Dinner & Viennese Concert with the music of Strauss and Mozart. Not forgetting our Farewell Dinner, where we congratulated Bill on the success of the tour, accompanied by jokes, poetry and lots of good cheer.

Trafalgar tour director was excellent, could not do enough for us. His knowledge of Europe was amazing. Global Journeys were very helpful in organising our tour - especially Michelle White.
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.
The scenery was beautiful. Maria, the tour director and Wayne, the driver were excellent. This is the third time we've booked through Global Journeys. Many thanks to Hannah for great help in the booking.
Our holiday was all we expected and more 5
Scenic Scandinavia and its Fjords
Cliff & Jennifer Bancroft, New Zealand, Jul 2016
The Travel Director, Jenn Payne was efficient and professional in in all aspects of our holiday, including ensuring we followed the prescribed itinerary fully, her attention to the needs of all 48 travellers, and her knowledge of the significance and history of each place visited. The coach driver Gastus, ensured that we arrived at each location and read more hotel on time enabling us to get the best value of each visit. The hotels selected were good, to very good, given the locations visited. Our Global Journeys travel consultant Leanne Duffield provided excellent customer service in terms of booking, ticketing and general communication.
We would recommend this trip highly. Simple booking process thanks to Yvonne Brooks at Global Journeys. Tour guide Justine was simply outstanding in every facet, she made our journey even the more memorable with her attention to detail and nothing was too much trouble.
If you are going to Hawaii leave Waikiki as soon as you can and make for the hills! The beauty is in the natural environment not the tired built one! This tour covered the four islands as was relaxing with multiple nights in each resort, but make sure you are cashed up for the 20% tipping on meals and the high cost of everything.
Lovely trip to Btitain & Ireland with Trafalgar 1
Britain and Ireland Panorama

Wonderful trip to Italy 3
Best of Italy
Leo James & Elizabeth Anee Tyndall, NSW, Australia, Jun 2016
We were very impressed by the organisation of both the trip and by the daily operation within the trip. Everything was done and instructions were quite clear. Bags were ready for collection and delivered to your room immediately. Meals were great with local flavours dominating. Specialist tours had guides that knew their subjects very well and delivered read more professionally. Overall it was a worthwhile experience.
Excellent trip 3
Greg & Helen, QLD, Australia, Jun 2016
Overall experience very good. Trafalgar guide and driver were both very professional. The guide's knowledge and language skills were quite amazing. Hotel accommodation a little disappointing on occasion, notably Paris.
We had a wonderful Holiday in Europe thanks to Trafalgar that we had wanted to do for a long time, our travel group were a great bunch of people 34 Australians and New Zealanders. I must say our Tour Guide was the best. Lynda made our tour very special by the way she organised everything down to the last detail, put a lot of extra time in after hours read more so it ran so smoothly for us. We also appreciated how she made sure we got to places early to beat the large crowds and the heat. Lynda has a very good personal knowledge of Europe having living there for a long time which made it easier for all of us all. She has a great sense of humor and her singing and dancing is ok to. The Optional Experiences that Lynda selected were all of great standard and value for money.
The only disappointment was not being able to go up in the Eiffel Tower due to it being closed due to the riots. Lynda did her very best to make that happen at least we got to walk under it later in day after Lynda's persistence and we saw it lit up on the River Cruise. Our Driver Enzo was also fantastic as driver and as a person we felt very safe with him he never missed a beat always new where he was going and where to park for our convenience. Finally i wish to thank Yvonne Brooks at Global Journeys for helping arrange our tour, she was always available and happy to answer my many questions. and arranged everything without any problems, she always seemed to remember me when I rang even after many months which we appreciated.

Excellent tour with fabulous Tour Director 1
Britain and Ireland Panorama
Jenny Hanks, 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).
The tour overall was outstanding made by Steen the Tour Director, Kerry our Coach Driver, the Highlights as such and our fellow tourists. The only negative was that the first couple of hotels were being renovated and this caused some discomfort. I feel other hotels should have been used.
Highlights were the great scenery and rugged coast. Optional tours were a bit disappointing for the cost apart from Celtic Steps show, which was a last minute inclusion. Accommodation was great. Unfortunately the airport pick up did not go smoothly as the reps had no knowledge of our tour; eventually sorted. Tour director knowledgeable and helpful.
Austria and Switzerland with Trafalgar deffinately the Best. 4
Switzerland and Austria
Faye, WA, Australia, Jun 2016
This was the most memorable holiday I have ever had. Our tour operator Emmo and driver Venci were great. A lot of thought has been put into this tour, covering a wide range of experiences. Anyone considering seeing Austria and Switzerland should seriously consider this trip with Trafalgar.
Excellent from the planning of the trip to the completion of the tour. Yvonne Brooks from the service department was very helpful and prompt with all my queries and all the documents arrived on time. The Tour Director and driver were wonderful. John the tour director was bubbly, witty and knowledgeable and nothing was too much for him. He made the tour read more really fun. My most favourite was the 'be my guest at the Manor House, working farm, Somerset. Love the little surprises like the free scones at the end of our train ride at Windermere, the free CD on our trip, the lovely group photo and the generous free drinks that came with some of our dinners. I think that the trip should extend to 15 days so it's not so rush.
Excellent well planned tour of Canadian Rockies 3
Spectacular Canadian Rockies
M.P.K, TAS, Australia, Jun 2016
Our tour was excellent, our Director Nathan and Coach Driver Dave, what a Team they were. We became one big family with our other tourist friends on the coach it was hard to say goodbye. The Trafalgar motto is SIMPLY THE BEST and each day Nathan and Dave would live up to that standard. Also would play the song. Now we think of Canada and all the new read more friends we met when we hear it back home. The accommodation was very clean and comfy beds close to everything in the area. We will travel with Trafalgar again hopefully in near future back to Canada. So well organised, a worry free holiday. Thanks also to Yvonne at Global Journeys for doing all the bookings for our 2 Tours so much easier when someone else does the work for you.
We travelled with Trafalgar which was organised by Global Journeys starting in NY City 17 June and ending in Boston USA 30 June 2016. We were very lucky with weather throughout our journey. Coach was comfortable and the driver and travel director were very good. This was the case with our previous trips by Trafalgar/Global Journeys in Europe and USA read more National Parks Explore and USA Northern California and it seems we renew our amazingly good impression as time goes on. Overall experience was excellent. If we must name one place or two, Niagara on the Lake is the most beautiful village and Quebec City is most beautiful city, more European than European cities. We recommended to our two daughters and the family preferably in similar season as the most Canada, esp Niagara on the Lake, we told, is in non-action, due to severe cold weather and heavy snow, during October and April. We recommend Global Journeys!
Hassle free Trip to Germany & Austria 2
Best of Germany and Austria
Trevor & Sandra, VIC, Australia, Jun 2016
This trip was a good way to explore some of the highlights of Germany & Austria. Trafalgar has again provided an interesting and diversified travel experience with a good mix of coach, train, river cruise, include meals and experiences. This is our 6th trip with them and they have not failed us yet. The tour director provided us with wealth of local read more knowledge but the local experts were a little disappointing. Hotel accomodation was good with a mix of good quality smaller family run hotels and larger chain hotels where required. Good value trip as we saw a lot in short time. Loved the mountains in Austria and Vienna is a wonderful city. Would recommend this trip for people travelling to Germany and Austria for the first time. Special thanks to Yvonne and the Global Journeys team for making the initial booking experience so easy for us.
