We had never done a coach tour prior to the Italian Escapade but certainly will repeat the experience with the same company. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would not hesitate to recommend the company. We were spoilt and pampered beyond belief! Everything worked like clockwork but we expect that there was a lot of work done behind the scenes that read more we were blissfully unaware of. We found the Tour Director always pleasant, happy and obliging and went out of her way to make sure that we, in turn were completely catered for. So many good memories to take home.
Well paced tour with a brilliant guide 4

Ainslie & Robyn, WA, Australia, Jul 2015
What a tremendous introduction to the British Isles. A well paced tour with a brilliant guide Christina Bader and excellent coach driver Adrian . They both managed to make our tour a wonderful experience. Tremendous scenery and city highlights with expertly organised and resourced maps to guide us around cities on our own. The coach was excellent with read more the additional room for legs and luggage and the seat rotation policy meant meeting everyone on the bus. Highlights were Blair Castle, Scottish scenery, lakes district in Scotland and England especially Bowness hotel,Waterford Chrystal tour,sheepdog farm, Liverpool options and probably most important the range of people from Canada USA Singapore and Australia that galvanised together to make the whole journey great fun. Celebrating birthdays and special occasions was a lovely touch.
Excellent itinerary with an outstanding tour director 3
Treasures of Italy
Goran, WA, Australia, Jul 2015
An excellent itinerary with an outstanding and very knowledgeable tour director. All the hotels were centrally located, however, some were four star rating where others were below (Rome, Capri, Santa Margerita).
Great tour of England and Scotland. I was not presented with my Trafalgar pack when I arrived at Ibis, so was not sure on tour start time. After breakfast next morning I went to reception and there was a Trafalgar rep in lobby, so was a little rushed to get my suitcase down to go on coach. Accommodation was for the most part excellent, except in Glasgow read more my window on 6th floor faced a brick wall, so no view at all. Disappointed! Other than those small hiccups, the tour director was extremely knowledgeable, and tour excellent. Thank you.
Tour director was a very confident professional 3
European Experience
Irina Pooe, WA, Australia, Jul 2015
Thank you very much! Especially I appreciate that I got solo accommodation despite the fact I had bought a share room. And the tour director was a very confident professional and took care of all of us during whole trip.
The tour was the best way to see Europe with an experienced tour director who made sure all arrangements for accommodations and excursions happened seamlessly. Stress free and enjoyable, would highly recommend Trafalgar tours and will certainly be taking another Trafalgar tour in future!
The tour as a whole was very good. I would have liked more time in Amsterdam as I do like to have a look around and shop. We had no shopping time at all. Whilst it was nice visiting the Cuckoo Clock House I would have preferred to spend less time there and more time at Rhein Falls in Schaffhausen, there was more to do there. Overall though it gave us read more a look at some beautiful places and we met some really lovely people.
Thoroughly recommend this particular tour 4
Scenic Parks Explorer
Lorna & Steve Griffiths, QLD, Australia, Jul 2015
Our tour guide (David) and coach driver (Kimo) were a great combination of information, humour and often went out of their ways to make sure our holiday was an experience to remember. The whole 14 days we were taken to quality locations, saw numerous wildlife and exceptional landscapes. The accommodation was in general more than we expected. David knew read more his history and presented it in a really informative way. The dvd's that David incorporated during the longer stretches of driving were all relevant and interesting. The one stop that we felt was out of place in a National Park tour was the night in Denver. But we appreciate that it was in the middle of where we needed to be and probably many of our fellow travellers enjoyed the change of pace. It was just not our pace. But all in all we would thoroughly recommend this particular tour. As Australians, we learnt so much about America and its history. We would happily travel with Trafalgar again.
Very well organised with several unforgettable experiences 8
Splendours of Japan with Hiroshima
Abigail, VIC, Australia, Jul 2015
The tour guide, Kimiko, was lovely and extremely helpful. She was always completely dedicated to ensuring that we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. There was nothing she wouldn't do to optimise our experience, and you could tell she really loves her job. She is easily the best tour guide I have ever travelled with! The included meals were authentic, read more tasty and of a very high quality. The hotels were very centrally located, being literally connected to or next to multilevel shopping centres, convenience stores, restaurants and public transport - this is in stark contrast to some of the hotels utilised for the European tours with Trafalgar. The Fukuchiin Monastery Inn stay was a genuinely unique experience that I will never forget. There was a good balance of included experiences and free time. Overall this was a very well organised itinerary with several unforgettable experiences and an amazing tour guide that are collectively worth the cost of the tour.
Our first overseas trip was a wonderful experience 2
Britain and Ireland Highlights
Jo & Shayne , QLD, Australia, Jul 2015
From the point of booking with Global Journeys and their excellent support and fast replies to questions we asked. (thanks Georgie Walpole) our first overseas trip was a wonderful experience. Our 8 day tour of Britain and Ireland was excellent. Trafalgar Tours great value for money. Comfortable coach, excellent driver with amazing skills. Excellent read more commentary from expert Tour director and the inclusion of local tour directors was also brilliant. Optional extras were great value for money (if you chose to do these). Not having to worry about luggage handling, chosen hotel accommodation was excellent in our opinion. Each day an itinerary was posted and discussed so everyone was aware of time of events planned. We now planning our next experience with Global Journeys.
This tour was much better than the London to Rome trip. Much better paced, less crowds and much better value. The tour guide Gaspar was very good, and he did not pressure the passengers to take the optional experiences. Overall a very pleasurable experience
Great trip. Tour director Roderick was brilliant and went out of his way to make things spot on for us. Would highly recommend Trafalgar and also big thanks to Yvonne Brooks from Global Journeys for setting our the two trips we booked into motion. (Ed: Review based on slightly different itinerary. Trip name and itinerary updated this season)
I find the coaches far superior to other companies 9
Country Roads of Scotland
Karlyn, QLD, Australia, Jul 2015
We travelled a big distance and saw many excellent sites. Perhaps the pace of the tour could be lessened by having two nights in the one place (eg Edinburgh, Glasgow ) as there were many early morning starts. I have travelled with them before and find the coaches far superior to other companies.
Calgary Stampede exceeded all our expectations 1
Pauline & Edward, QLD, Australia, Jul 2015
Our Trafalgar tour guide, Jess, and coach driver, Gil, were the best - went 'above and beyond' every day! Very jam-packed tour! Calgary Stampede was very exciting - exceeded all our expectations; Vancouver, Banff and Whistler were most enjoyable; Kamloops and Jasper are a little 'tired'; Sun Peaks would be at its best in the ski season; Victoria on read more Vancouver island was interesting but very touristy. Certainly would love to go back to see more of Canada and would use Trafalgar again.
This was one of the best vacations I have ever taken! 1
Best of Italy
Natasja Rose, NSW, Australia, Jul 2015
This was one of the best vacations I have ever taken! The weather was nicest morning and evening, so I didn't take the mid-day optional extras, but all of the ones I did take were absolutely amazing. The hotels were great and the food was excellent, though not so much in some of the cafes we went to. That's not on the tour, though.
Our trip had been arranged by Hannah Campbell as before, everything went of with out a hitch and the people on our tour were first class. Our tour guide Patrick was only to happy to help with anything that came up.
A day early in Berlin helps relax before the tour. Most significant tours/events are 'optional' at a price which can significantly add to the tour cost. An extra post-tour day in Warsaw helps recovery from the tour.
Our third Trafalgar tour and did not disappoint 1

Karen & Natalie, QLD, Australia, Jun 2015
Being our third Trafalgar tour this one did not disappoint. It is a highly recommended tour to experience the highlights of the regions and select areas that one would like to explore further. Thank you Trafalgar and Hannah. :)

Carolyn & Brooke, QLD, Australia, Jun 2015
We had the best time - just loved it. Thank you Hannah for your great effort in organising and implementing details for our trip, it was greatly appreciated as all just flowed without a hitch. A huge thank you for a super job. Trafalgar do a great job of organising and assisting in all areas and we were so blessed to have had the best tour operator read more - Martin - he was a wealth of information and so attentive to everyone's needs - he just went above and beyond our expectations. Once again many thanks for your part - you truly are a great travel consultant who also gives 100% to their customers making things seem so effortless for us - just pack our bag and we are away as everything else has been taken care of. I wish you well and we most certainly will ask for your assistance with any further ventures we may engage in.
Thank you for making my special time...special 4
Best of Scotland
Gillian P, WA, Australia, Jun 2015
I booked the tour as a special anniversary - it was a year ago my husband passed away. I wanted to be in a special place for the anniversary. The timing of being in the highlands at the exact time with a small drink in my hand to toast the day couldn't of be planned any better if I tried. The whole trip was amazing, yes, a lot to do in such a small read more amount of time but I saw and did some fabulous things. The added extras also well worth the money and added to the whole trip. We were also lucky we had a great bunch of travellers that all got on and happy to mix. Our tour Guide and driver were amazing, nothing too much trouble, always presented well, neat well dressed pair that took great pride in the coach too. Compared to some of other company's - well done on the whole experience. I would not hesitate to book with you again. Thank you for making my special time...special.
