A holiday not to be missed! 6
Best of Ireland and Scotland
Josh & Joanne Rodrigues, NSW, Australia, Aug 2016
I never allow the hype to get to me but the beauty of both the Irish and Scottish countryside is simply stunning. We intend to return and do it at our leisure perhaps in Spring to capture different colours - such is the allure of this magical place. Thanks to Trafalgar and the excellent team of tour director, Dan and drivers Nial and Tom, we were given read more a great insight to the places we visited.
This is a nice hassle free way to see Croatia. The pace was a bit faster than relaxed but still OK. My advice would be not to take this tour in August (the European holiday season) as we did as some places visited were very busy with tourists. In particular the visit to Plitvice Lakes was unpleasant due to the thousands of tourists there which made read more it impossible to enjoy the beauty of the place. Couple that with an overnight stay in the hotel there which even the tour director was apologising for before we got there and the overall experience was not good. The hotel room we had had no air conditioning other than open the door to the balcony. After the Lakes, the pace slows a bit and it becomes quite pleasant along the coastline. The tour bus was very comfortable and the tour director was excellent. Overall, a nice tour but do it outside the peak season.
Worry free trip throughout the U.K. 2
Britain & Ireland Discovery
Elizabeth Hodges, VIC, Australia, Aug 2016
A great trip. Nigel was a very good and caring Tour Director. A couple of the hotels were out of town or too far from the shops but I couldn't fault any of the hotels. Booking with Global Journeys was faultless. Shall be back for next years holiday.
Great tour with Trafalgar Tours of Uk and Ireland and booked through Global Journeys. Highlights for me included the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, Stonehenge, kissing the Blarney Stone, Lock Ness, Ring of Kerry and Glencoe.
Global Journeys is a good company to buy a holiday from and Yvonne Brooks was very helpful. Our 21 days Grand European trip was very good, the only thing that was not good is some of the hotels that we stayed in were 3 star not as promised all 4 star hotel.
The trip was fantastic and me and my family enjoyed everything that was included. The companion was very nice the guide was excellent he made everything easy and he was very helpful and informative. The food was excellent, the excursions were excellent too and we do thank you for this wonderful holiday it was a once in a lifetime experience.
The trip was excellent, the program was run smoothly. Our tour director and driver as well as local guides were very friendly, very professional and full of knowledge of the places we visited.
Tour was very good value, Iceland was wonderful, bit expensive. My accommodation as a single was very average. Hotels provided excellent meals and service. The days were a bit long but there was a lot to see. All included trips were wonderful, but some of the extras not up to scratch. Overall a place not to be missed.
Overall this was a wonderful trip. Hannah at Global Journeys was fantastic. She made everything easy. Insight were great to travel with. We had a wonderful tour director and all our fellow travellers were easy to be with. The quality of the hotels overall was good. This trip had everything we wanted in Scandinavia.
Worry free adventure across Eastern Europe 3
Bohemian Highlights
Ryszarda Krystyna, WA, Australia, Aug 2016
Our tour trough five countries was very memorable, mostly due to fantastic travelers. Besides beauty of the cities we visiting, it was fun and enjoyable time after day's tours. Local guides was very professional and enthusiastic when showing us their city. Accommodation was very pleasant and in high standard. The real highlight was dinner on the boat read more on Danube in Budapest, after it was sky-show! I left my new friends in Prague and travel back to Poland by train.
It's a great way to look at the ancient monuments and a bit of history. My highlights were Edinburgh and Cardiff castles.
Great tour with insight. Tour guide was very helpful and the bus quality & comfort was excellent as expected with Insight. Global Journeys are excellent and will definitely use them again.
Great trip through Spain, Portugal and Morocco 2
Treasures of Spain, Portugal & Morocco
Julie Zappa & Mike Waters, WA, Australia, Aug 2016
We have just completed the Insight Vacations coach tour of Spain, Portugal and Morocco and it was excellent. The Tour director was outstanding with a very relaxed approach but at the same time very organised. Simon was extremely knowledgeable and gave us wonderful insights into the locations and local customs. The drivers were very experienced and read more we felt very safe. Ou tour group were mostly Australians and they were a very friendly, happy group. There was no-one annoying at all The weather was excellent, mostly mid 30's and we had just missed a heatwave which was fortuitous. The hotels were all high quality and rooms were good. The itinerary was very busy as we selected most of the additional optional excursions. There was no pressure to do this however most of our fellow travellers did choose the optional tours. This is our second Insight Vacations coach tour and I would highly recommend the company for those people who like coach tours. We do!
Spectacular Holiday 4
Iconic Rockies and Western Canada
Peter & Dot Anderson, SA, Australia, Aug 2016
The scenery on this tour was spectacular. The entire tour was perfect. Everyday just got better and better. Trees, rocks and water. Fantastic. Trafalgar's Travel Director( Ben) and driver (Dan) were brilliant. They went well beyond of what was expected. Ben Hutchinson's handling of the tour was outstanding. He was so passionate and he is a proud Canadian. read more He made our experiences so much better because of his desire to please. Thank You Ben. Global Journeys once again provided us with faultless handling of our booking. Thank you Michelle, loved it.
Trafalgar was a very good tour - visited all the key places in UK and Ireland. Tour Director was excellent. We shared the coach with a total of 46 passengers so it took a bit of time getting on and off the bus at each stop. But all our fellow passengers were nice. There was a fair bit of necessary travel by bus each day and not always enough time read more to see what we wanted at each stop but that was a consequence of doing a 20 day tour across all of the UK and Ireland. All the accommodation was nice and most of the optional tours were good. Only negative was that at times the coach was too cold. Global Journeys provided a cheaper price than booking direct with Trafalgar and no problems booking through them.
A Wonderful Tour Experience 3
Susan & Paul, ACT, Australia, Aug 2016
The Best of Finland, Russia and the Baltic States Tour was a wonderful tour experience! We had a very experienced and knowledgeable Trafalgar Tour Director, a very professional and hard working coach driver, and a happy, warm and friendly tour group. The Tour admirably covered all the highlights of the countries we visited, immersing us in their history read more and development. Hotels were all first class, and the included breakfasts and dinners were very good, especially the 'Be My Guest' dinner. We saw so much more than we expected. We still had a great balance between organised touring and free time, and a good range of excellent included and optional excursions. There were lots of pleasant surprises and unanticipated experiences along the way! Michelle from Global Journeys took care of our bookings and arrangements very efficiently and professionally, and we would happily book with Global Journeys again.
This trip was amazing and was very much due to our Tour Director - Giacomo, who was so friendly and informative. I ended up doing all the optional experiences, I never thought that I would! Each of them was so enticing and it made for a very rounded trip full of everything. We still had free time to explore and shop. The group was full of Aussies, read more Canadians, Americans and South Africans with an age group from 15 - 60, with most being 30-40's. We were spoilt with the accommodation in Rome at the Egriffe, it is definitely more that the 3.5 stars that the tour promises. So when we went to Florence and stayed at the Novotel, we were all disappointed with the standard of the hotel! The final accommodation at the Antony in Venice was better! If you get to order a pizza from the down the road, we got 3 pizzas for 13 euro and it was the best pizza we had the whole time!
We had the best tour director ever in Jason who shared his passion for these countries to us in every way. All aspects were covered to help us understand each country from cultural, economic, gastronomic, music, art and geographical. The optional extra excursions that went with this tour were the best I have experienced. Any minor problems were well read more handled and my overall impression was an excellent glimpse of life in the Iberian peninsula.
Were fortunate to have very good weather for entire tour commencing in August. Hotel standard on occasion exceeded expectation - although some did not offer free wifi. Some optional excursions were very expensive. Transfers offered to airport on last day of tour should be extended to rail /bus / ship.
USA Western Discoverer 1
Mrs Harjit Kaur, NSW , Australia, Aug 2016
Happy with the itinerary. Optional tours - highlights were Grand Canyon helicopter ride and Walk on the Golden Gate Bridge. Definitely worth taking these two extra optionals. Hotels were great, road trip to so many different landscapes just amazing. However, about the group photo it was simply poor photography! We were 54 fellow travellers in two long read more rows, so our faces are barely recognised. There was no date and place mentioned on the photo.
