This was a really excellent tour experience. Hotel accommodations were uniformly brilliant in location, and usually in hotel quality - of particular the Tuscany and Venice accommodations. As always, the pace of a tour seeing so many extraordinary things was too fast to really process, but what was done was exceptional and rich experiences, very well read more coordinated by our marvelous guide, Daniele. I felt that probably the Sienna and Cortina excursions were a bit pricey and could have been an inclusion, even if an extra cost had been included. Loved the Tuscan winery and Burano excursions, although the wonderful seafood meal was too big to be followed by a final dinner! The modified bus with extra seat room is a huge selling point, coming from a family of 6' 4" men, and the extra seat width option was brilliant. I cannot speak highly enough of both Insight and Global Journeys!
The scenery was superb. The tour staff were very good and highly professional. The accommodation was first class ... except for Yellowstone. Yellowstone was pathetic. No internet connection, no complimentary bottles of water, no safe for storage of valuables. We could have coped with all that if it had not been for the chaos at breakfast. We had to read more line up and wait for 15 minutes (some others waited longer).
Great tour with very knowledgeable and helpful tour guide 1
Best of Italy
Philip & Ann, QLD, Australia, Sep 2015
Great tour, very knowledgeable and helpful tour guide, Antonella. Slightly disappointed by the number of optional excursions, which added to the cost, but still overall good value for money. Global Journeys (Yvonne) arranged for early delivery of our paperwork, as we left Australia two weeks before coach tour, which was great and much appreciated. Itinerary read more on tour was great, and did allow for some free time.
A nice pace with plenty of free time 4
Iconic Rockies and Western Canada
Lisa & Mark Fuller, NSW, Australia, Sep 2015
Wonderful tour with beautiful scenery. A nice pace with plenty of free time, very enjoyable. Tour guide had very interesting and knowledgeable information and guided us well with local restaurants and eateries. The optional excursions were very good, the young boys that ran the cruise to Maligne Lake were fantastic and very funny. Most hotels were very read more comfortable and clean and breakfast was always good.
See so much and have an absolute blast! 1
Britain and Ireland Highlights
Lee , ACT, Australia, Aug 2015
This is a great itinerary if you have never been to the UK and want an introduction to the main sights. A fast pace but you see so much and have an absolute blast! Also thank you Michelle for all your help in booking my trip - I will definitely use Global Journeys again!!

Britain and Ireland Highlights
Shelly & Yvonne , NSW, Australia, Aug 2015
As the name says, we saw the highlights, but all was just wonderful. Gives a taste so will come back with allowing a longer tour. The countryside was always postcard perfect and photo opportunities everywhere. A great trip.
Well paced tour. Only real criticism was that the accommodation was generally out of the main town, reducing the ability to do a bit of exploring.
Would definitely book with Global Journeys again, Georgie made our trip hassle free, and was extremely accommodating and patient with our quoting and selection process. Global Journeys are the cheapest by far, cheaper than booking directly with the tour company. Our third trip coming up next year with Trafalgar, pace is a bit quick sometimes and you read more don't get as long as you would like in some stops or excursions, but the best way to see a lot of a country in a short period of time. Have done The Best of Italy and The Best of France, and trying our first multi country tour next May - Eastern Europe. Food was sometimes a bit dubious, except for the breakfasts, they were all excellent.
I had an excellent experience - I enjoyed seeing Spain with an excellent group of people and guided by a professional and knowledgeable tour director, driver and local guides. All accommodation and breakfasts as well as included meals were of an excellent standard and the pace of the tour was organised well. The only thing I could mention and it isn't read more a huge issue was that by the end it really felt like we had visited too many churches and that some could have been added as optional experiences rather than inclusions. I am sure Spain has plenty to offer tourists and other sights could be visited instead of numerous churches/synagogues/mosques. Overall, this was my first tour and it was a very memorable and rewarding experience.
I really enjoyed this tour. Our guide Karin was excellent, as was the driver who had some difficult roads to negotiate. It is a most fascinating part of the world, with a resilient and friendly population. If you want history, great cities and beautiful scenery, this tour has it in abundance.
Had a great time 8
Country Roads of Southern Italy & Sicily
Craig & Dorothy Rogers, Australia, Aug 2015
Had a great time but tour could have more of the smaller towns included. That way, we would see more of local culture in that region.
Would not change a thing! 5
Carolyn P, WA, Australia, Aug 2015
Loved this tour. Would not change a thing! The accommodation was very comfortable as was the coach. Tour guide was excellent and interacted well with everyone. I particularly liked the pace of this tour and option to do the many optional extras to simply chill out before the next experience.
Dealing with Hannah from Global Journeys was a dream. Nothing was too much trouble including accommodating last minute changes. Overall tour our was very good. The guide, driver, coach & locations visited were excellent. The hotels and breakfast were generally excellent though some hotels were located a bit out of town. Fine for us, but difficult for read more the less mobile. For us, the included meals were very ordinary. If you like nice food I would strongly recommend skipping and going to local restaurants in lieu. There was a bit of a hard sell on optional excursions - some were great, others poor. A lot of walking is necessary so a degree of fitness is required. As with all tours (I guess) tour was very regimented, up at 6.15am, bags out by 7am etc, and you will be held up by incapable or slower travellers so you need to ensure this is your style of travel.
Russia was the highlight! 7
Ivan & Gail, NSW, Australia, Aug 2015
Loved the experiences in Copenhagen, Stockholm and Helsinki. Russia was the highlight! The wonderful palaces, the Hermitage Museum and the beautiful domed churches. I also loved the Peterhof Garden fountains and the beauty of the Metro Stations. I posted many photos on Facebook and also emailed photos to family and friends and many have said that Russia read more is somewhere they would love to visit. Our Tour Director, Jenn, gave us lots of informative talks, particularly in regard to Russia's history and she was also very helpful.
Tour lived up to and beyond our expectations 5
Spectacular Canadian Rockies with Rocky Mountaineer
Phil & Linda, WA, Australia, Aug 2015
Overall the tour lived up to and beyond our expectations as far as sights and experiences were concerned. For my wife and I this was our 3rd tour with Trafalgar and the tour directors on the first 2 tours were very good, however our tour director in Canada , Jess, took it to another level. She was very enthusiastic, very organised when considering tour read more was full and just went that "extra mile" on a number of occasions. Our driver Bob was equally as good and did a great job - a good team these 2. The cruise was excellent and really enjoyed experiencing Alaska onboard the Volendam. Finally thanks to Michelle for her prompt and professional assistance during the booking and organising stage.
Need excursions that are a little more adventurous other than just evening meals. Something with a little involvement and energy. Most of the excursions were a quite boring as they mostly involved just watching or eating.
The tour was absolutely excellent. We'd certainly use Global Journeys and Insight again. Our guide was brilliant. The only minor change we would suggest is that the pace could have been a little faster. We didn't need toilet stops every two hours and sometimes more frequently (including the lunch stop) and arriving half an hour later at the hotel in read more the evenings would have been fine. Perhaps then we could have done a little more each day. (Ed: Review based on slightly different itinerary. Trip name and itinerary updated this season)
We loved every moment of the trip!! Our Tour manager was amazing, she was very knowledgeable and entertaining! Each day was very well organised. The trip was very smoothly run... no hiccups... perfect weather...LOVED IT!! We would highly recommend a Trafalgar Tour!
Coach driver and tour leader were excellent 1
Best of Germany
Michael James, NSW, Australia, Aug 2015
The coach driver and tour leader were excellent. Although I didn't do many of the optional extras as most seemed unnecessary. It would have been nice if we had more time in Hamelin. Otherwise all good.
All members of our group are very happy 2
Britain and Ireland Panorama
Sally Hoskins, VIC, Australia, Aug 2015
We were taken to places we wouldn't have had time nor means to get there. The hidden treasures that were pointed out to us were "gems". Matt Bauer, our tour director was perfect for the job - humorous, caring, very informative and most of all fun! We took all optional tours offered with the tour & thought they were all value for money & complemented read more the trip so well. All members of our group were very happy with our experiences. Well done Trafalgar.
