We loved this tour. Philip, our Moroccan guide was extremely knowledgeable and took us to some very special places and bought us local delicacies to try. To experience the different cultures was fantastic and the optional tours we did were most enjoyable especially the horse and carriage ride in Marrakesh. Travelers Tip: When you change your money in read more Morocco try and get smaller denominations as it will be easier for tipping.
No Visas were required 3
Stephen Billingsly, Australia, Jul 2014
I believe that the optional 'excursions' should be stated prior to tour booking or at least shown so that the additional costs could be factored in. Additionally with regards to Visas, Trafalgar have been performing this tour for a long time and should inform their clients that no Visas are required at all as the cruise operator arranges the Turkish read more Visa thus obviating the need for the client (me) to arrange these Visa's and pay something around $300 for them when they weren't required. Also some of the coach drives were excessive (greater that 2.5 hours with one of them in excess of 3 hours). This is hard on people especially those on blood pressure meds or suffering with Diabetes (average age of coach passengers (48) was in excess of 50 years old.
Amazing holiday, tour deserves its name 1
Best of Greece with 4-Day Aegean Cruise
Monica & Daniel Kaul, Australia, Jul 2014
The tour was amazing, it deserves its name: 'Best of Greece' as it was quite balanced, the right time and places in the land tour and then a great experience with the cruise that took as to beautiful islands. Amazing holiday, Trafalgar was very well organized and exceeded our expectations.
Very well organised, great value for money 1

Mandy Goldsmith, Australia, Jul 2014
We had a wonderful holiday. Very well organised, great value for money, great destinations. Our tour guide was a wealth of knowledge and very entertaining.
Have done a few Trafalgar and Insight tours but this one was the best we have ever done, from booking it through Global Journeys, touring with Trafalgar it was so easy and relaxing. Thank you Michelle.
The tour was very well organised and considering how far we travelled (3600+ kms) we always arrived at our next destination on time. We saw and heard so much, there is no way I could've seen so much if I had travelled on my own in that time. Our tour guide, Linda, was very good and she always made sure we had maps of the cities we were visiting which read more really made a difference. There was free time but if you did an optional excursion it did take away some of that time. Should point out that time before or after in New York is a must otherwise you don't see much of the city. I thoroughly enjoyed this trip and would highly recommend!
Learnt a lot on this tour about each city we visited 3

Firstly, thank you Georgie for your excellent service and for all your help booking this trip, it was very much appreciated. As I travelled on my own, it was so good to know there was someone back home whom I could contact if I needed to! The Trafalgar tour director, Linda, was fantastic and so knowledgeable, and our coach driver, Bill, did an amazing read more job. All the places we visited were really interesting and we got the best out of them considering the small amount of time we spent in each place. I also learnt a lot on this tour about each city we visited. Linda always made sure we had local maps which was a great help for finding my way round and deciding what I wanted to see. I must add that the tour spends very little time in New York and I was so glad I spent a week there before the tour started. I would definitely book with Global Journeys again. Georgie, you took all the stress away for organising such a big holiday! Thank you again!
We were very late in booking our trip but received excellent service from Georgie at Global Journeys who communicated with us very speedily following our inquiries and ensured that all documentation was forwarded to us in time for our departure from Australia some five weeks before the actual tour. On the ground in London our reception before departure read more went without any hitches. Overall the tour was very enjoyable with an excellent and very experienced and informative tour director who did her very best to ensure that value was added to our trip whenever possible. Unfortunately she had no control over the three days of rain in Germany and Switzerland but this did not prevent anyone from enjoying themselves. (Ed. We are working on this! :) Thank you to Linda and our driver for contributing to the enjoyment of our trip. Overall everything went as planned and we even managed some extras along the way. Both my husband and myself would recommend Global Journeys and Trafalgar to our friends and acquaintances.
We would really like to thank Michelle for all her help she certainly made everything easy for us and took care of all the details enabling us to simply sit back and enjoy our holiday. No question was too trivial. I will certainly book with you again in the future and would be very happy to recommend Global Journeys to all our family and friends.
An fabulous tour. The tour guide Stephanie Glass was excellent! We enjoyed the experience very much. We had a great time and would recommend this tour to anybody.
The coach trip to major attractions in Turkey was the first we had ever undertaken. We were agreeably surprised in almost all respects. The tour leader was very professional, the coach extremely comfortable and there was even a butler on board to help with our every need. The quality of accommodation was excellent and the food standard was very satisfactory read more if a little different in minor respects. The sight seeing agenda was well planned and interesting. There were significant crowds at some attractions especially when large cruise ships were in nearby ports but the tour director managed the daily plan to minimise difficulties. The mix of people on the trip in terms of countries of origin was excellent and all were compatible. The agenda did include some visits to commercial outlets with carpets, leather etc. These were interesting and served to break up a menu of trips to historical sites etc. but were not much patronised by the group. If anything, some days were a little too long but not disagreeably so. The weather was generally hot and light weight clothes were the order of the day. The local people were very hospitable and friendly. This holiday gets 9.5 out of 10 from us.

A excellent tour company both for content and value 5
Spectacular Canadian Rockies with Alaska Cruise

We had an amazing time. Every thing was very well organised. Tour guide was excellent. Driver did an amazing job too. Their experience working together really showed as they made an excellent team. Fellow travellers were a great group of friendly people. We all got along really well. We were very lucky with the weather too. I would and we have read more already recommended Trafalgar to people as a really excellent tour company both for content and value.

Kenneth Clarke, Australia, Jul 2014
The overall trip was excellent. My wife, daughter and I enjoyed every minute of it. Our tour guide Jess was lovely, she had everything running very smoothly. People turned up on time to get on the coach with no late comers which was good. The food and accommodation was excellent.
Loved this tour. We luckily got one of the new coaches, they are super comfy. The Tour Director was really competent, really lovely and so well organised she made us all feel special. We visited so many fab places, I know I will do another tour.
All the main attractions & with great insider knowledge 1
Margaret Catley, Australia, Jun 2014
Excellent well organised tour. Taking in all the main attractions & with great insider knowledge from the tour guide. Booking via Global Journeys was extremely easy & a time saver. Hannah kept me up to date on any changes & sourced suitable airfare options.
Highly recommend Canada 1
Janine Waite, Australia, Jun 2014
Our Trafalgar tour was fantastic. Canada is a fantastic country to visit - scenery, people, cities... all offered something different and amazing. Our guide, Adam, was an ex-Aussie, and our driver Ed, a Scotsman. They both got on very well together, so made the trip very smooth and fun. The Calgary Stampede was a brilliant show of horses and fun. and read more the best fireworks I've ever seen. Highly recommend Canada as a country to visit, and Global Journeys to organize it.
Huge amount of included sightseeing, fantastic tour director 5
Scenic Scandinavia and its Fjords
Phillip Purvis, Australia, Jun 2014
Tour covered a lot of ground with many 8 or 10 hour days. I would have preferred a slightly longer tour with some more free days to allow extra time in major cities. The tour had a huge amount of included sightseeing, the tour director, Amanda Flint was fantastic, extremely knowledgeable and very capable, ensuring everyone enjoyed themselves. I thought read more some of the accommodation particularly in Leikanger in Norway was very average and could be improved.
Lydia was a wonderful tour director and established alot of trust and confidence immediately. She was always very personable and approachable. Joao was a great driver and an artist on the road. He managed the coach smoothly and we always felt safe with his driving. In terms of my booking experience, I felt Kirby often took too long to respond (sometimes read more 2 days) which did leave me feeling doubtful. (Ed. Sorry to hear about the delays you experienced with Kirby at Global Journeys, as we pride ourselves on our speedy responses. Thanks for the feedback.)
Disappointing vegetarian options 3
Highlights of Eastern Europe
Chandra & Shailaja Kumble, Australia, Jun 2014
Apart from hotel in Vienna and Prague although they were good quality they were not located near city centre. We liked all accommodation in city centres to allow us to reach places. Also for vegetarian meal options the food was basic compared to other meals. Worth making efforts by Trafalgar to get compatible hot main meals as it should be very easy read more now a days to arrange. Thanks.
