Coach driver and tour leader were excellent 1

Michael James, 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.
All members of our group are very happy 2
Britain and Ireland Panorama
Sally Hoskins, 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.
We were very impressed with our Trafalgar Scenic Parks Tour. However our experience of transport from airport to Tropicana Hotel Vegas and return to airport left a lot to be desired. As our flight arrived at 11.55pm on Saturday 15 August and our Tour was commencing at 6.00pm Sunday 16 August we were unable to receive complimentary transfer to the read more hotel. After clearing Customs it was 1.00am Sunday 16 August. We had prepurchased taxi vouchers through Trafalgar at a cost of $32 per person each way. Our taxi driver was going to refuse to take us as the vouchers had expired. We eventually talked him around. We thought $64 for a transfer to hotel was exorbitant as the taxi meter showed $12.80. The return transfer also cost us $64.00 for a $12.80 trip. This was an unpleasant start to our trip. Fortunately the trip itself was a wonderful experience. We would be pleased to travel Trafalgar in the future however we would think twice before arranging airport transfers through them. We wouldn't recommend dinner with the Mormons in Salt Lake City as an optional excursion in the future. We felt it was a money making recruitment drive by the Mormons.
The tour director was very passionate about European history and he was able to give us the appropriate background before we actually see the historical places that he described. We took all optional tours which are all value for money, with the exception of the trip to the farm in Switzerland. The hotel room we stayed in in Florence (Grand Hotel Mediterraneo) read more is not comfortable. The toilet seat is very close to the wash basin such that if you cant stand up after using the toilet...you have to move sideways, then stand up. Other than this hotel, all others are very good especially the one in Sinsheim, Germany.
Tour covered everything and more 3

Amber & Gary Simonato, NSW, Australia, Aug 2015
Excellent tour, everything was taken care of. Steve was both knowledgeable and patient. Coach and driver were excellent. Tour covered everything and more. Accommodations and included meals were great.
Fast paced tour, saw a lot - will pick a slower paced tour next time. The Trafalgar team were very helpful and invested a lot of energy to ensure things went well.
Excellent mix of battle sites and historical experiences 1
Treasures of France including Normandy
Robyn Webcke & Alex Rennie, QLD, Australia, Aug 2015
Loved this trip. It was an excellent mix of battle sites, scenic sights and historical experiences plus visits to beautiful chateaus. It contained enough to interest both males and females. I would recommend this trip to everyone. The countryside was a delight to view. The coach was comfortable and provided free Wi-Fi. What more could you ask for.
Fantastic Italian Tour. Our group of 4, were very pleased with our tour director Romeo, and our fabulous coach driver Guiessepe . Their conversations & reference to detail were wonderful, never overloading us with unnecessary information. The chosen hotels could have been better. The best hotel being the Poiano at Lake Garda, followed by the Sheraton read more in Rome. Thank you for doing our bookings Emily & we shall approach you the next time we travel.
Would not want to remove anything from the tour 2
Best of Germany
Peter Emmerson, 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.
We had a great time, saw some amazing sights & met some wonderful people. The city & the countryside were equally awe inspiring. While we saw a great many things in a small space of time we still managed to have some down time too. Highly recommend :)
Scenery, accommodation and service were excellent 6
Spectacular Canadian Rockies with Alaska Cruise
Bob Julian, SA, Australia, Aug 2015
The GoldLeaf experience on the Rocky Mountaineer was excellent. The cruise to Alaska on the Vollemdam was fantastic. Scenery, accommodation and service on the tour were excellent.
Good tour to get a taste of what Britain is all about 1
Britain and Ireland Highlights
Gizella, VIC, Australia, Aug 2015
For an 8 day tour it was a great holiday. We saw so much and tour guide was very knowledgeable. Met some lovely people. A good tour to get a taste of what Britain is all about.
When planning our holiday, I was very hesitant about using a travel agent as we had troubles in the past that left a bad taste in my mouth and so when looking for our tour I was very hesitant. As it turned out, my fears were short lived and completely turned around with Global Journeys. At the start of our trip we met up with 30 people for our organised read more tour wondering how we would handle spending that long in a bus with people we did not know. As it turned out that was the least of our worries. We had the absolute best time with some extremely wonderful people from all over the world and worried more about getting to the bus on time, getting to breakfast on time, meeting the boat on time, making sure we found a loo before the next run and remembering how to do a simple task such as ordering a coffee.
Our tour director was not only funny, extremely well knowledge in all aspects of our trip but was just such a wonderful person. Our driver was a consummate professional and although he did not talk much he astounded us at times with his skill at the wheel and not once did we feel uncomfortable even looking down at some pretty hairy slopes along the way. Unfortunately, we ended our tour with the Trafalgar Travel group and all went our separate ways but some wonderful friendships were made along the way that I know will last a long time. All dealings with Global Journeys from initial enquiries, booking, deposit, final payment right up to getting our documents, were on time, complete and absolutely trouble free. The website and bookings page made getting prepared for our trip so easy and allowed us to have our holiday knowing we had done everything we needed to do and take everything we needed for our trip. All the consultants we dealt with during this process were dedicated, efficient and helpful and could not fault anything whatsoever. A really great company to deal with and would recommend them to anyone.

I will recommend this tour to my friends 3
Nestor, QLD, Australia, Aug 2015
I thought the tour was very good especially the tour director Scott and the driver Mario. The included meals were average. Overall the tour was a good experience. Yvonne was very helpful. I will recommend this tour to my friends and wouldn't mind booking another tour with Global Journeys. Thanks Yvonne.
Our travel director, Howard Hazekamp was exceptional. Howard made sure the trip ran like clockwork, but kept it fun along the way, & was very helpful with any questions or assistance needed. The Trafalgar tour was good value but of high quality, I would recommend Trafalgar greatly.
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!
Enjoyed my holiday, but rather poor coach used 1
Treasures of Ireland
Margaret, VIC, Australia, Aug 2015
The coach used was rather poor and not as good as the one used in the Best of Britain tour the week earlier. One seat, (I think it was the second from the back, driver's side) had to be kept empty each day as the seat had been anchored too close to the one before and it was not comfortable to sit in. Also, the seats were not on a raised platform as read more the English bus' were, resulting in poorer visibility. The tour guide spoke a lot about subjects she knew about, but we seemed to pass a lot of towns, historical monuments etc, that were never mentioned but probably held a rich history. Our English tour director, Alan Drake, was far better than his Irish counterpart. I am grateful to Global Journeys for the assistance with my booking. I enjoyed the service provided and enjoyed my holiday.
Had a fabulous time. This was made more memorable by our Tour Director Marisa Lukovic. She treated us like family and really knew her stuff. Some of the hotels were a bit 'old and tired'.
Everything went very smoothly 3
Karen Fairhurst, NSW, Australia, Jul 2015
From the moment l booked with Hannah till l arrived home, everything went very smoothly. I have spoken to Hannah personally and Georgie too, they are both very professional on the phone. Our Trafalgar leader, Sophia was an amazing young lady, she knew so much information about each place we were visiting, I thought she was reading it from a book but read more she was saying it all out of her head! Everything went very smoothly under her directions. She had a lovely, caring personality. While still maintaining a professional manner at all times! Our bus driver, Marcello was a very capable driver (we even had an incident where a truck travelling alongside us was coming into our lane, the driver of the truck was going to sleep at the wheel apparently!). But Marcello kept us all safe. We even got lost at one point and he had to reverse that big bus down a very narrow street with 'Juliet' balconies all over the place and he did it without a scratch. Someone in our group said 'he could drive the bus through the eye of a needle' and we all agreed. Everyone concerned is a credit to their company.
