This trip was the greatest and made so easy with Insight Vacations booking through Global Journeys. Accomodation extremely good, tour director excellent, pace excellent overall a magificent trip.
Thank you Kaitlyn for everything. Our vacation was wonderful. Trafalgar was great. Out tour guide was fabulous. I can’t imagine anything any better. Thank you for all your help!
It's the first time I have travelled with Costsaver. Overall the tour was very good and the tour guide and driver did a good job. We visited some amazing places my top picks was Monument Valley and Yellowstone. I would consider travelling with them again.
We are very glad that we booked this toor with Costsaver! The trip was very well organised! Both our tour director and driver were excellent! We were in good company with our fellow travellers. We have seen many spectacular National Parks on the tour.
Really enjoyed the introduction tour of scandinavia! John was great travel director and Marcin was a great driver! Great use of local tour guides especially Adi who has a fun personality suited once you get to Stockholm. Wish you could stay in Copenhagen and Stockholm longer to make this tour a 14-15 day instead because they were fairly large cities. read more If you are doing this tour, I would recommend to try arriving 2 days earlier to explore a-bit more of Copenhagen and stay another day or 2 in Stockholm. Norway was at the right amount and the Flam rail and cruise through the Nærøyfjord is a must for future tourist.
Now we also experienced a very hot summer (which was very rare according to locals) but wish some of the hotels had fans or vented cooling. Other than that, the hotels in Copenhagen, Bergen & Stockholm were great! Thanks again Costsaver for a great experience!

Well designed tour with an itinerary that enables visitors to see the Golden Circle and many of Iceland's attractions. It truly is a country of natural wonders. The meals provided and the accommodation were pretty good. Some of the optional excursions such as the visit to the Whale Museum could've been included in the actual itinerary, The Tour Director read more and the Driver were excellent and worked very well as a team.. The TD was professional, very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. The booking of the tour via Global Journeys was an easy and seamless process and Tracey Standing did a marvellous job keeping us informed every step of the way and promptly answering all of my questions. I wholeheartedly recommend both the Insight Vacations tour of Iceland and Global Journeys.

Very well managed, fast paced tour, but enjoyable. Too much to see in a short time, but tour director was excellent and made it very enjoyable.

Went to places I never would have contemplated. Like the Orkney Islands right at the top of Scotland. Stress less travel as you arrived at each hotel and given the key to your room and your bags would be delivered. Had a great 22 days.
Best of France was a wonderful trip. Our TD was Bruno who was excellent, which made our journey relaxed and fun. Our driver Jordan was very friendly and exceptionally skill full in his driving. The group we were travelling with was of mixed ages and we all got along and had fun together. Special thanks to Tracey at Global Journeys who handled our booking read more and was always available to answer our questions.
I enjoyed the Spanish Wonder tour of Spain. There were many highlights packed into a few days, but all were memorable. Madrid, Toledo, Cordoba, Granada, Seville and Barcelona were magnificent, however, visiting in June it was warm to hot, and there was substantial walking involved if one wanted to see as much as possible. In Seville I walked 32 km, read more partly because I became lost in the evening. It helps if you speak Spanish. Our coach comprised 2/3 of those with Hispanic backgrounds living in the US so they had no problems in directions. I found an important new word: Aseos, which is toilet. This was not the word for toilet that was used when I was last there.
The only issues I had was that there were 52 passengers in a coach with 53 seats, and there was a lot of repetition of what the tour director and driver were to be paid as tips. Perhaps the US passengers accepted that, but I found it annoying. Overall, I would re-do that tour again anytime, but with a smaller group, if possible. Hannah from Global Journeys was excellent in organising the booking and supplying information about the tour plans.

Another great Trafalgar experience. Everything well organised. Great Hotels, great coach and driver, and tour leader. Nothing too much trouble. Hannah a great help with finder details.
I compared a lot of itineraries in choosing this trip and was pleased with my choice as it included a lot of the smaller towns I wanted to see...as a solo traveller. I was impressed with the size and location of my hotel rooms and the variety of food offered at breakfast buffets that covered all dietary issues...our tour guide Tim was fabulous; originally read more from Ailustralia but having married a Pole, he had first hand stories about customs and culture. My only negative feedback would be a lot of walking tours the first few days if you took all the optionals. However I arrived quite a few days before, so had already done some. We had a group of 32 and there was plenty of leg room on the coach which the driver kept spotless. Thank you to Rachael for a flawless booking.
I was happy with everything. I would use Trafalgar Tours and Global Journeys again. My travel agent for this trip was Sam Harris and I was extremely satisfied with his service.
Loved our Trafalgar experience. Good Hotels, good Coach & Driver, Good tour guide. They know where to take you, when to take you and how to best get you in. Nothing is too much trouble. Hannah did an excellent job organizing our finer details for us.
Our thanks to Rachael from Global Journeys who did a fabulous job and paved the way, to help us effortlessly join Insight Vacations Grand Scandinavia Tour. We had a great mix of mostly Australian and New Zealanders with a few people from the US. June was a great time to go because everything was a vibrant green and with spring blooms but also there read more was snow on the mountains tops and the weather wasn’t too cold. At every turn there was stunningly beautiful scenery. Also, our Tour Director, Joey, was the best we have ever had. He made the whole tour and the places we visited come to life with timely insights, information, music, video, and treats :) and all with a smile. I would thoroughly recommend this tour.
Perfect way to see Northern Italy Cinque Terre 0

Absolutely wonderful tour and great itinerary! Highly recommend for a tour of Northern Italy. Travel time was planned
smartly and efficiently to ensure the time was spent well. It's easy to add another extension before or after the group tour as well with Milan as a central location.

Fantastic Britain and Ireland Grandeur Tour 1
Britain and Ireland Grandeur
Neil and Robyn, QLD, Australia, May 2025
Our Britain and Ireland Grandeur tour was fantastic. The tour guide was the best we've ever had. He was friendly, approachable, helpful, very well organised and had a very good knowledge of all the many places we visited as well as the history of the local area. The driver was fantastic too as she was friendly, helpful, safe and very capable She read more had a good relationship with the tour director and all of the local specialists that came along, taking us to many places that were pretty challenging to drive a coach. The local specialists were all very good too and gave interesting insights into their local area. Even though the tour was fast paced there was always enough time to look around the places we visited, have a coffee or a meal, do a bit of shopping or have a chat with the locals as well as visit the rest rooms. The optional experiences were all worthwhile and added greatly to the overall experience. We have no hesitation in recommending this tour to anyone who wants to get a good overview of the UK and Ireland.
Excellent Extensive Italian Adventure 0

Julie and Steven, VIC, Australia, May 2025
Just back from our 17 day Insight Vacation trip around Italy and it was fantastic! We visited the most beautiful places in Italy, guided by our very knowledgeable guide and expert driver. We felt very safe in our brand new bus traveling around the beautiful Italian countryside. We were joined by 22 other passengers from different countries and we read more all got along famously. This is our second time booking a holiday with Hannah at Global Journeys, and she made it a very easy experience organising our Insight Vacation tour and flights etc. I would absolutely go on another Insight Vacations tour. All the hotels we stayed at were wonderful. We had a worry free, busy but relaxing holiday.
Our Trafalgar Greek Island Hopper tour was great. The history of Athens and the islands is fascinating and the scenery of the islands was spectacular. The accommodation was good and the local specialists were great, especially for the tour of Megalochori, the bronze age archaeological site on Santorini. Having to drag our own suitcases on and off read more the island ferries was a bit of a surprise for us on a Trafalger tour, but our tour director guided us through that process well. The biggest disappointment was the number of optional experiences that didn't go ahead.
Of the ten optional experiences advertised in the Trafalgar brochure only three actually occurred. While some were cancelled due to weather, which is understandable, or were cancelled due to lack of numbers, still others were simply not on the list when we arrived in Athens. While our tour director arranged for us to go to dinner at a restaurant instead of a couple of the optional experiences, we did not get to experience any traditional Greek music or dancing as we had hoped. Despite this we still had a great time, with a lovely mix of people on the tour and plenty of time to see the sights, do shopping, eat out, meet the locals and get a feel for the places we visited.

This was my 4th Trafalgar tour and my 2nd booked through Global Journeys. I was not disappointed and highly recommend both. Spain was spectacular and each day was as exciting as the previous one. It is a country that just keeps on giving, from palaces to little markets. Spanish Wonders is a fast paced tour if you do all of the optional tours, however read more I would have missed some unforgettable sights and sites if I had not chosen the extras.
