A wonderful experience but it involved long days of travelling with many days of 6-10 hours in coach. As I did all the optional excursions this allowed no quiet down time and continuous days of early wake ups became tiring. Two days only in Portugal was disappointing but the tour of Spain and Morocco was very good. My dietary requirements of requiring read more gluten free food was largely catered for in most places but some of the roadside lunch stops didn't have anything I could eat so I took to packing my own lunch at breakfast time to get around this issue. In Morocco the hotels had I provision for gluten free bread. I would recommend this tour if it was a more leisurely pace. If you fall or ( catch a cold or sprain an ankle like I did) the pace was relentless. Overall I did enjoy myself and I am glad I picked this tour.
Would not hesitate to go on another tour 2
Amazing Britain
Sharon & John Harrigan, Australia, Sep 2014
The tour was really enjoyable. The Tour guide (James Payne) and the coach driver (Paul) were great. James went out of his way to make sure that we experienced everything about each stop on the way, and things were very well organized. He was very passionate about his county and made things interesting and at the same time fun. We would not hesitate read more to go on another tour in the future.
Hotels & inclusions far surpassed my expectations 4
East Coast USA and Canada
Kerry Rowan, Australia, Sep 2014
I had a great holiday the hotels & inclusions far surpassed my expectations. Travelling alone can be daunting but at all times I felt included with the group. I did not have too many expectations of any particular city but I loved Washington, the monuments, buildings & gardens were fantastic. I find myself thinking about the Amish way of life & will read more continue to do so for some time so they have made a lasting impression. Toronto to me was just another big city but I loved Quebec, it was like a little part of Europe. The included dinners were all special & appreciated in their own way. I went on the Night tour in Washington, the Toronto night cruise, the tour of the vineyard & dinner in Quebec & the tour of Harvard & consider them all to be of excellent value. I consider that our guide Diego played a large part in me having such a good holiday for he was kind & considerate to all members of the group at the same time being informative & at times funny. Bill our driver was lovely & we all felt safe & secure in his hands. Trafalgar will definitely be included when I next look for a holiday.
Wonderful Holland/Benelux Trip 3
Best of Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg
Ernesto & Imelda, NSW, Australia, Sep 2014
Tour was well-organised, comfortable and excellent itinerary. It was a pleasure to deal with Georgie Walpole of Global Journeys who handled our booking. She was always available to communicate with by telephone or email and very prompt to respond to queries and requests.
Overall, we really enjoyed the experience 2
Britain and Ireland Panorama
Anna & John Calfas, Australia, Sep 2014
Overall, we really enjoyed the experience. The disappointments were that we did not have enough time to stop longer at the Ring of Kerry. I was extremely disappointed that I had traveled so far to see it, and saw it mostly by coach taking photos from the coach! Way too many stops at souvenir shops! We would pass lovely little villages, only to stop read more at a designated souvenir shop, it made me somewhat suspicious of the motives behind the stops. Otherwise, the hotels were great except for the Wexford in Ireland. Trafalgar really need to look at getting a better hotel for their guests. The hotel at Wexford was barely 3 star! Our coach driver was friendly and fun. Our Tour Director was a bit of a serious character. He has been doing the job for a very long time and is extremely knowledgeable but he is a old fashioned with his taste in music on the coach. It became monotonous! He also tended to repeat himself too many times. I think that it would be nice for the tour director and bus driver to be able to join us for the included dinners. Most of us really did not like to see them sitting away from us, when they were free from their duties and able to eat. The planning behind the tour is exceptional. Georgie was just so helpful and professional. I would not hesitate to book through her again. Thank you for this opportunity.
Georgie from Global Journeys was so helpful and efficient. Great service! The Trafalgar tour was fabulous. Have been with them twice before, tried another company, will stick with Trafalgar in the future. Very happy with the cheaper price from Global. Will book through you again for sure!
An excellent way to gain an overview of Europe 3
Narelle & Graeme, Australia, Sep 2014
An excellent way to gain an overview of Europe. The location of all our hotels allowed us to explore the city on foot which was great. The optional excursions added to our appreciation of the various countries we visited. Put simply this was a wonderful experience. Thank you Yvonne for your help and guidance through the organizing and booking of this read more tour. We left Australia comfortable in the knowledge that we were about to join a tour fully briefed and with all our travel arrangements in place.
This tour exceeded our expectations. Our Tour Director Patrick Sidney and Coach Driver Andreas were the most amazing people. Their professionalism, courtesy and knowledge was incredible and they made the tour all the more amazing. The tour took us to so many amazing places and although we did all the optionals we still had time for shopping and discovering read more the towns. I would certainly recommend this tour for anyone wishing to see Europe. Booking with Global Journeys provided a hasslefree experience with all our questions answered, so thank you Yvonne Brooks for helping with our booking, we would definitely book thru Global again.
Loved the trip and would book again with Trafalgar 1
European Whirl
Debra Finlayson, Australia, Aug 2014
We have been on a few tours and would have to say that Bern was one of the best Tour Guides we have had. She made us excited about all our destinations and was a wealth of information and assisted everyone with any problems. I would recommend Trafalgar to our friends and would definitely book again. Our only disappointment was the Capthorne in London read more the night before we left. We asked for double and got twins, the room was very worn and then we had a breakfast bag as we were leaving early. I could of had a weeks holiday for the amount we paid for a 2 star experience. Besides that we love the trip and would book again with Trafalgar but would stay elsewhere the night before and get there by taxi for the departure.
Everything went very well, just some of the hotel amenities in various locations lacked from regular maintenance. The food and the optional experiences were excellent.
Everything was very well organised 1
Britain and Ireland Highlights
Pamela Tiefel, Australia, Aug 2014
We had a very good trip everything went very well and would recommend your company to our family and friends. Trafalgar Tours were very good and everything was very well organised. Many thanks again Yvonne for your help in organising the whole tour. Our relations also enjoyed the trip as at certain areas the tour guides gave them earphones and it read more was translated in German for them.
Fast paced and full of highlights. Very good accommodation and food. Tour a director and Drivers were excellent as was the tour group.
Will definitely use Trafalgar again 5
Scenic Scandinavia and its Fjords
Dianne Morey, Australia, Aug 2014
Overall a great Tour & our Tour Director Jacqui was extremely amazing with her knowledge of Scandinavia. What was even surprising was that Jacqui is actually from Melbourne. Only a couple of the hotels were average but mainly very,very good quality. Optional excursions were well worthwhile & you were able to choose which ones you wanted to see or do. read more Our first experience with Trafalgar & we will definitely use them again.
We had a fantastic whirlwind tour of Europe. Great company and excellent tour director & driver, and to top it all up, great weather throughout our trip. What more can one want!
We really enjoyed the trip but it was unusually cold for summer, but that's just the luck of things. A bit disappointed with the food for a country with such a high reputation.
Scenic Parks Explorer was excellent. Our tour guide, Cory Frend, was excellent and accommodation was good. We had loads of information from Cory and she was also very helpful. John lost his cap, and she contacted the park where he lost it to have it forwarded onto our hotel in Vegas. Lots to see on this trip, and on the go the whole time. Could have read more had a couple more 2 night stopovers. But on the whole an excellent journey.
A more relaxed trip and was very enjoyable 2
Tastes and Sounds of the South
Nola & John Lawrence, Australia, Aug 2014
Tastes and Sounds our second tour on this holiday was a more relaxed trip and was very enjoyable. However, I think we were spoilt by Cory our first tour guide, as our guide on this trip was very laid back. More time could have been spent at Graceland, we could have had lunch there, but instead we had to hurry back to Memphis for a group photo. Most read more of us felt this time could have been spent at Graceland. Getting on and off the shuttle at Graceland ate into time spent there also. And the Farewell Dinner while at an absolutely beautiful restaurant, (and the food was excellent) was very rushed. Our guide, at the end, got up from the table, and said it was time to go and for people who were not sure of how to get back to he hotel to follow him. We had no time to say goodbye to fellow travellers, and we were all leaving the next morning. Apart from these two things we did enjoy the journey, and realise that it all depends on who you get as a tour guide. We would travel with Trafalgar again, as we were well looked after. And we met some lovely people on our journeys. We would book with Global Journeys again as you have been very very helpful and very efficient.
The tour covered a lot of ground. We got to see quite a lot. The accommodation was great. Maybe the name should be changed to 'Best of England's West Country' as we spent considerable time in places outside of Devon and Cornwall (e.g. Bath and Bristol), but that was fine by me.
Amazing driver, needed later starts on 2 night stays 2
Britain and Ireland Grandeur
Elizabeth Hodges, Australia, Aug 2014
It would have been nice to have a later start on our two night stays. Hotels were very good. Everyone got on very well, it was a large group of 51 on the tour. Our tour director John was very informative. Stu our driver was amazing, he could take a large coach through the tiniest of spaces. My tour consultants were all great apart from one small thing. read more Trafalgar in London didn't know about the change in my flight schedule when I arrived. They were waiting for me at 5.40am, instead of 1.40pm. I had a great trip though and I will be booking with Global Journeys next year.
We were both very impressed with our England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland 16 day trip. Thanks to Michelle for getting our travel pack to us prior to leaving and organising our night before and night after the trip. Very impressed with Anna our tour guide, will take another trip if she is the tour guide, looking to do another trip next year.
