Overall, we really enjoyed the experience 2
Britain and Ireland Panorama
Anna & John Calfas, Australia, Sep 2014
Overall, we really enjoyed the experience. The disappointments were that we did not have enough time to stop longer at the Ring of Kerry. I was extremely disappointed that I had traveled so far to see it, and saw it mostly by coach taking photos from the coach! Way too many stops at souvenir shops! We would pass lovely little villages, only to stop read more at a designated souvenir shop, it made me somewhat suspicious of the motives behind the stops. Otherwise, the hotels were great except for the Wexford in Ireland. Trafalgar really need to look at getting a better hotel for their guests. The hotel at Wexford was barely 3 star! Our coach driver was friendly and fun. Our Tour Director was a bit of a serious character. He has been doing the job for a very long time and is extremely knowledgeable but he is a old fashioned with his taste in music on the coach. It became monotonous! He also tended to repeat himself too many times. I think that it would be nice for the tour director and bus driver to be able to join us for the included dinners. Most of us really did not like to see them sitting away from us, when they were free from their duties and able to eat. The planning behind the tour is exceptional. Georgie was just so helpful and professional. I would not hesitate to book through her again. Thank you for this opportunity.
Georgie from Global Journeys was so helpful and efficient. Great service! The Trafalgar tour was fabulous. Have been with them twice before, tried another company, will stick with Trafalgar in the future. Very happy with the cheaper price from Global. Will book through you again for sure!
An excellent way to gain an overview of Europe 3
Narelle & Graeme, Australia, Sep 2014
An excellent way to gain an overview of Europe. The location of all our hotels allowed us to explore the city on foot which was great. The optional excursions added to our appreciation of the various countries we visited. Put simply this was a wonderful experience. Thank you Yvonne for your help and guidance through the organizing and booking of this read more tour. We left Australia comfortable in the knowledge that we were about to join a tour fully briefed and with all our travel arrangements in place.
This tour exceeded our expectations. Our Tour Director Patrick Sidney and Coach Driver Andreas were the most amazing people. Their professionalism, courtesy and knowledge was incredible and they made the tour all the more amazing. The tour took us to so many amazing places and although we did all the optionals we still had time for shopping and discovering read more the towns. I would certainly recommend this tour for anyone wishing to see Europe. Booking with Global Journeys provided a hasslefree experience with all our questions answered, so thank you Yvonne Brooks for helping with our booking, we would definitely book thru Global again.
The tour delivered all we expected and more. We had not been to any of the places on this tour and every experience, while different, was great. The efforts of our Tour Director, Alex, no doubt enhanced all aspects of this trip. The arrangements by Global Journeys, including support with Russian Visas assisted greatly.
Loved the trip and would book again with Trafalgar 1
European Whirl
Debra Finlayson, Australia, Aug 2014
We have been on a few tours and would have to say that Bern was one of the best Tour Guides we have had. She made us excited about all our destinations and was a wealth of information and assisted everyone with any problems. I would recommend Trafalgar to our friends and would definitely book again. Our only disappointment was the Capthorne in London read more the night before we left. We asked for double and got twins, the room was very worn and then we had a breakfast bag as we were leaving early. I could of had a weeks holiday for the amount we paid for a 2 star experience. Besides that we love the trip and would book again with Trafalgar but would stay elsewhere the night before and get there by taxi for the departure.
Majority of optional excursions should have been included 6
Country Roads of Switzerland
Margaret Jean Donges, Australia, Aug 2014
The majority of optional excursions should have been included in the tour. Who wants to spend a fortnight in Switzerland and not see the Matterhorn & Jungfrau? Also they were expensive so added a considerable amount on to the true cost of the trip. Martin was an excellent guide. Centrally located accommodation was good but would have been improved from read more a safety point of view if the rooms had a separate shower instead of over a narrow bath.
Everything went very well, just some of the hotel amenities in various locations lacked from regular maintenance. The food and the optional experiences were excellent.
Everything was very well organised 1
Britain and Ireland Highlights
Pamela Tiefel, Australia, Aug 2014
We had a very good trip everything went very well and would recommend your company to our family and friends. Trafalgar Tours were very good and everything was very well organised. Many thanks again Yvonne for your help in organising the whole tour. Our relations also enjoyed the trip as at certain areas the tour guides gave them earphones and it read more was translated in German for them.
Fast paced and full of highlights. Very good accommodation and food. Tour a director and Drivers were excellent as was the tour group.
No hesitation recommending this tour to others 1
Highlights of Eastern Europe
Kerrie Davis, Australia, Aug 2014
Overall I really enjoyed my trip our tour quide was fantastic and made sure everyone's need were catered for. The cities and places we visited were excellent and the local guides were informative and generally easy to understand. I would have no hesitation recommending this tour to others.
Will definitely use Trafalgar again 5
Scenic Scandinavia and its Fjords
Dianne Morey, Australia, Aug 2014
Overall a great Tour & our Tour Director Jacqui was extremely amazing with her knowledge of Scandinavia. What was even surprising was that Jacqui is actually from Melbourne. Only a couple of the hotels were average but mainly very,very good quality. Optional excursions were well worthwhile & you were able to choose which ones you wanted to see or do. read more Our first experience with Trafalgar & we will definitely use them again.
An excellent tour. Our Tour Director, Caroline Huyshe, was a treasure. Her knowledge and her willingness to share the culture made the tour a great experience. The pace of the tour was good, but 22 days is a long time and we were happy to get a break at the end.
The Best of Italy tour was fantastic. The tour guide was just amazing, and the coach driver was so patient, courteous, and kept the coach immaculate. The pace of the tour at times seemed overwhelming, however we heard our tour guide once mention in a conversation that we are on a tour, and not a holiday - and she was spot on in saying this. The intention read more of going on a tour is to see as many spectacular places as possible so then you can pick where to come back to and stay the next time you return to that country. The guided tours were worth doing because we were taken to the little hidden parts of Italy that we would never have been exposed to otherwise. Love Italy and will definitely return one day for a holiday at a personally chosen city - which will be very hard to decide on because the beauty of Italy is abundant.
We had a fantastic whirlwind tour of Europe. Great company and excellent tour director & driver, and to top it all up, great weather throughout our trip. What more can one want!
We really enjoyed the trip but it was unusually cold for summer, but that's just the luck of things. A bit disappointed with the food for a country with such a high reputation.
We loved the tour, especially the excellent tour director 1
Spectacular Scandinavia & its Fjords
Del Stitz, Australia, Aug 2014
We loved the tour, especially thanks to the excellent tour director. The coach was very comfortable and the group of 40 was very friendly. You do have to be prepared for early starts in order to pack everything into the day. I would definitely recommend Insight Vacations.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 15-day 'Spectacular Scandinavia' tour with Insight Vacations. Let's dispense with the negatives first. The hotel at Frederikshaun in Denmark was poor and there were several long driving days. The latter is to be expected in any tour of Scandinavia, but it meant early starts to the day and plenty of sitting. Fortunately, the read more coach was excellent, with plenty of leg room, the tour director, Chad Hartin, competent, knowledgeable and entertaining, the local guides first class and there was much of very great interest throughout the tour. Norway, however, was simply outstanding. The fiords, glaciers and mountains of the west coast are stunningly beautiful. Winding through, up and down the ranges was exhilarating, the experience complemented by the skill of our very safety-conscious driver. The group of forty travellers included Aussies, Canadians, New Zealanders and Americans and not surprisingly it bonded well. We recommend this tour.
Excellent tour. Tour director and driver were excellent. There appeared to be more options offered than are normally encountered but other than that a wonderful tour.
Scenic Parks Explorer was excellent. Our tour guide, Cory Frend, was excellent and accommodation was good. We had loads of information from Cory and she was also very helpful. John lost his cap, and she contacted the park where he lost it to have it forwarded onto our hotel in Vegas. Lots to see on this trip, and on the go the whole time. Could have read more had a couple more 2 night stopovers. But on the whole an excellent journey.
