Efficient tour guide 3
Best of Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg
Jenny & Doug, VIC, Australia, May 2015
Our tour guide was particularly efficient and sensitive to individual needs. When we claimed that a particular option was poor value for money she negotiated a discount.
The pre-tour service provided by Emily Cran and Global Journeys was fantastic and despite doing everything over the internet/email, we could not have asked for better support and service. The Trafalgar Tour was outstanding with both our Tour Director (Julie Hanham) and Drive (Paolo) making our first trip to Europe a holiday of a lifetime that we will read more always remember. I can highly recommend Trafalgar 'Family Experience' tours and we will be back.
Weather was great. Scenery terrific 1
Spectacular Canadian Rockies
Keith & Alison Kennedy, NSW, Australia, Apr 2015
A great holiday. All went well the Travel Director and Driver were super. The weather was great. Scenery terrific. What more could you want. Thanks for your help in booking arrangements.
Guide and driver were excellent, pace was wearying 2
Best of Greece
Richard Peck & Diane Ingram, WA, Australia, Apr 2015
Time in Athens was too short. Quality of accommodation varied. Location of Athens hotel is good. Guide and driver were excellent. Pace was wearying for older members of tour ie the majority!
Wonderfully planned tour taking in as much of a country as one possibly could with all the hidden treasures. Giovanna was exceptionally professional & caring. She came around in the coach several times checking everyone was OK & comfortable.
Optional sites/experiences were very good 1
Spain, Morocco and Portugal
Vicente & Zenaida, NSW, Australia, Apr 2015
Included and optional sites/experiences were very good. However, a lot of times were spent travelling by coach to reach next destinations so quite tiring and uncomfortable. Optional experences were quite a significant cost in foreign currency so it will be beter if can be prepaid. I am glad I booked with Global Journeys this time because they were well organised.
Our tour director was superb! Our driver was superb! Both were absolutely top rate and a credit to Trafalgar. As tour newbies, the practicalities of getting personal washing done was a challenge!
Coach driver and tour guide were fantastic 1
Britain and Ireland Highlights
Noel & Vanda Murphy, QLD, Australia, Apr 2015
As the name says it was highlights so you were on and off the coach very quickly. It gave you a brief look at many things and makes you want to return to spend more time in certain areas. The coach driver and tour guide were fantastic. It was a great holiday.
We loved this tour, everything was excellent! The tour director was fantastic, the food was amazing and we loved meeting lots of new people on the bus trip.
Although having visited Paris on our own seven years ago and having seen the touristy sights, there is no substitute for having a tour director with a passionate love of his work and country. We consider we came across such a director in Mark (an Englishman living in France and married to a French lady) operating with Trafalgar on the 'Best of France' read more tour. Mark was exceptional with his knowledge and history of his adopted country. The tour covered most of the historical and points of interest in France and accommodation was always in the town/city centre where possible. Meals were of a high standard and the tour represented excellent value for money. Thanks to Hannah at Global Journeys for organising a hassle free holiday.
The cost was very good for what was supplied 1
Splendours of Japan
Sue Brown, SA, Australia, Apr 2015
We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide was excellent and went above and beyond what was expected - we would like this feedback to be passed onto her. The cost was very good for what was supplied. We would recommend Global Journeys too.
We saw so many amazing sights 2
I & T Jones, Australia, Jan 2015
We had a fantastic trip. Our travel director's knowledge was fantastic and we saw so many amazing sights. The cruise along the Nile was wonderful and all of the Egyptians we met were so welcoming. Thanks to Michelle at Global Journeys for all her help and advice.
Recommend this tour to anyone wanting a hassle-free tour 2
Best of Greece (Winter)
Ariel Armarego-Marriott, WA, Australia, Jan 2015
An ideal way to see the main sites of Ancient Greece without the crowds. As one of the few tours operating in Greece over winter, we rarely had to share entire sites with anyone. The pace was great, allowing us time to properly explore the museums and sites we visited and not feel as though we were just glimpsing them as we drove by in the coach. Would read more highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a hassle-free and enjoyable tour around the main sites of Ancient Greece.
A good overview of main European attractions 1
European Traveller (Winter)
GC, NSW, Australia, Jan 2015
A good overview of main European attractions. If you chose all optional activities, then the pace was very demanding, particularly where your new friends wanted to have drinks after dinner! A 'taster' tour, which could be used to select more specialised/leisurely options for later tours. The guide was very good. Hotels and coach were good, with the read more only occasional issue being the slow delivery of bags to our rooms (particularly in Italy). Recommended if you want a fast-paced tour.
Tour was awesome, the sights breathtaking 1
Irish Highlights (Winter)
Kellie Kuhl, QLD, Australia, Jan 2015
The tour itself was amazing, Bernard our tour guide was really informative and had the best sense of humour. I did all of the optional extras but with some ie: dinner with dancing, myself and quite a few of us were thinking it was going to be traditional river dancing as it was the most expensive optional extra. It was a little disappointing to arrive read more and have two young girls dance for maybe 10 minutes. Overall and apart from that, the tour was awesome, the sights breathtaking and price for the tour was reasonable.
Overall very enjoyable trip. The tour director is very knowledgeable. Eastern Europe is beautiful and we have been lucky with the weather.
It was incredible seeing Turkey - even in Winter! The tour days were filled morning to night - reasonable travel times between cities - with plenty of good, included sight-seeing during travel. Our tour guide - Alan - was an archaeologist with excellent insight into the ruins and histories of the places visited. All in all, the best tour we have ever read more enjoyed! However, we could have missed the time 'touring' the 'shopping' places - leather, jewelry, carpets etc as, although the information given may have been good - the products were pricey and not really of interest to most of us - particularly with high-pressure sales people following one around. Would have preferred that time in the afternoons in each city to be able to explore a bit (as there was very little time for that most days) on our own. With the exception of one hotel, accommodation was excellent. We are definitely recommending this tour to others interested in exceptional value and a thoroughly enjoyable tour.
Best trip so far, whole family were entertained including children, local travel advisers were exceptional, especially Gianmarco. Some families in our tour have already travelled with Trafalgar 4 times. Will definitely travel Trafalgar again.
Very good but the group was too large 2
Best of Italy (Winter)
Inessa Kabaker, VIC, Australia, Dec 2014
The tour itself was very good but the group was too large (50 People). The tour guide was excellent but some of the places were not great for winter time. We needed more time in Florence (at least another day) and would have loved one night in Verona, only 2 hours. No need to sleep in Assisi, few hours would have been sufficient as we got their too read more late and didn't see enough and left early the next morning. The hotel in Sorrento was too old and not great location. The dinner there was terrible.
Very interesting, lots of information and a fun group! 2
Best of Italy (Winter)
Inessa & Gdalia , VIC, Australia, Dec 2014
We loved that our tour director spontaneously took us over the boarder from Lake Como to Switzerland. Not a part of the tour but was a great experience. The tours were generally very interesting but some did feel a little rushed. Need more time in Florence, would love to have another full day on our own to explore.
Happy we arrived into Rome two read more days earlier to just walk around, the tour didn't give enough time in Rome.
The accommodation was very good, except in Rome (too far from centre) and Florence also a bit far. Otherwise a great trip.
