Disappointing vegetarian options 3
Highlights of Eastern Europe
Chandra & Shailaja Kumble, Australia, Jun 2014
Apart from hotel in Vienna and Prague although they were good quality they were not located near city centre. We liked all accommodation in city centres to allow us to reach places. Also for vegetarian meal options the food was basic compared to other meals. Worth making efforts by Trafalgar to get compatible hot main meals as it should be very easy read more now a days to arrange. Thanks.
A level of comfort we'd never previously enjoyed 4
Italian Elegance
Anthony & Rosina Barker, Australia, Jun 2014
Except for Cinque Terre, we'd previously been to all the destinations on this tour, some many years ago, others more recently and several times over in the case of Venice. The tour presented an unrivalled chance to see them all again in a level of comfort we'd never previously enjoyed. For instance, we'd never indulged in an expensive gondola ride nor read more cruised in comfort at night up the Grand Canal in Venice, let alone drunk coffee, eaten gelati and listened to the music in St Mark's Square without paying the fortune that we did 45 years ago in celebration of a personal milestone in our lives. On the other hand, the least enjoyable part of the whole trip was the location of the Venice hotel in the tourist crush around San Marco. Conditions are inevitably like that in that most famous area, but Venice is so small that it's easier to stay in much quieter areas enjoying experiences as disparate as shopping and church visits and yet walk within minutes to the big tourist spots. Fortunately we'd booked to stay on for another three days in just such an area, rounding off a great holiday in an appropriately memorable way.
Recommend this trip and Global Journeys 1
Britain and Ireland Panorama

Thoroughly enjoyable had a wonderful time. We would recommend this trip, and booking with Global Journeys.
Good tour and the guide was brilliant 1
Best of Devon and Cornwall
Judith & Richard Lawler, Australia, Jun 2014
Good tour and the guide was brilliant. Yvonne helped me to find a tour that fitted our time frame and pace and it was perfect. Will definitely come back through Global Journeys and recommend to friends.
Our tour with Trafalgar was very good, it was a bit hectic but it covered many famous places and scenic places. The tour director Mike Kobrak did excellent job considering the number of people on the tour and the large crowds at many famous places. The standard of the accommodation varied but overall it was good, likewise the meals. Overall I think read more the whole tour was good value when you consider that Europe is an expensive place. I had no need to contact Global Journeys with any problems either before we went away or on tour so I will have to give you a score of 10 out of 10. Thank you for your efficiency in organizing everything.
We'll definitely turn to Trafalgar for our next tour 6
Scenic Scandinavia and its Fjords
Marina & Arkadi Pikovski, Australia, Jun 2014
We returned from a Scandinavian trip about a week ago. It was an excellent tour, where we learned a lot about Scandinavian countries and explored fantastic views of Northern nature, especially in Norway. The travel director Catrin Griffiths was very knowledgeable. We got a feeling that she really loved Scandinavian countries and passed her passion read more to us. Catrin was also very kind and friendly and helped all tourists to get comfortable on a trip. She set up and maintained a nice & friendly atmosphere within the group. We'd also like to make a note about a high professional level of our driver Laslo. Our only comment is that stay in the main cities could've been longer, particularly Oslo, where we stayed only one night, that definitely was not enough to explore the town.Trafalgar service was great. All booked hotels were of good quality and located in town centre, that was very convenient. We didn't need to take care about carrying our baggage, that was excellent. When we'll be planning our next holiday as an organised tour we'll definitely turn to Trafalgar.
I enjoyed this tour very much! The hotels were of the great quality, the tour guide was very intelligent and information he provided was very interesting. Visited great places in Turkey - highlights for me were a cruise in Antalya, ballooning in Cappadocia, and a Bosphorus river cruise. Definitely good value for money! Thank you!
Well planned and saw many wonderful sites 3
Splendours of Italy
Beres Scott-Stafford, Australia, Jun 2014
Our Tour was well planned and we saw many wonderful sites and learnt about the history of the beautiful country we visited. Our holiday was enjoyable mainly through our Tour Leader Franco and our wonderful driver Vito. The hotel accommodation was good and the food excellent, especially the breakfasts. I would certainly recommend a Trafalgar tour in the future.
Will definitely use Global Journeys for any future trips 2
East Coast USA and Canada
Mary Walter, Australia, Jun 2014
Thank you Georgie for organising our tour, accommodation and transfers in New York, promptly and efficiently. Booking and confirming details was easy and you were very contactable. All went well and we had a great trip. I will definitely use Global Journeys for any future trips and I have no qualms in recommending you to my friends, as I have already read more done so. The only disappointing glitch was the Super Shuttle, which I would not recommend as we waited over an hour to be collected from the airport and then another two hours getting to the hotel. Other travellers had similar experiences. We decided to take a cab on our return transfer to JFK. This was our sixth tour with Trafalgar and definitely the best. The itinerary, the hotels and included meals were all excellent. but what made it that extra special was our tour director Ben Conte and our coach driver Jose Cardona and of course our fellow travellers. Both Ben and Jose work well together and both are very friendly, approachable and passionate about their country. Well done Trafalgar, we'll be back!
Comprehensive trip that included lots of great experiences 4
Treasures of Morocco
Lorraine Walker, Australia, Jun 2014
Great trip and our guide, Abdulla, made it even more special. He was at the airport to greet us right from the start. Very comprehensive trip that included lots of great experiences.
Highly recommend tour to other potential travellers! 2
European Grandeur
Heinrich Steiner & Angela Wade Steiner, Australia, Jun 2014
We enjoyed the European Heritage Insight tour very much and would highly recommend it to other potential travellers! (Ed: Review based on slightly different itinerary. Trip name and itinerary updated this season)
Appreciated Global Journeys efforts in securing us a place on the tour when others had been telling us it was full! Also very professional service. Tour was great, good pace and lots of interesting commentary by the Tour Director.
It was a really good holiday! 1
Spectacular Scandinavia & its Fjords
Janis Camping, Australia, Jun 2014
I think the guide made the trip really, with her inside knowledge and experience and extra little touches. It was a big group - some with extra diet needs - so organization was really necessary. The scenery was fantastic and most of the places visited were good . A couple of very long drives, but mostly the bus rides were interesting and comfy and the read more driver very safe and capable. It was a really good holiday!
The whole Trafalgar tour was fantastic I would have to say the tour sites we went to each day were great our accommodation was excellent throughout the tour probably our first night and second night at Plymouth was the only hotel that was of a poor standard old fashioned furniture, carpets badly worn etc. All the rest of the hotels were of very high read more standard. Our Trafalgar tour guide John Barleyman & driver Paul Jacques were the best, John always organised and in control of what was itinerary for each day was also had little secret locations to take us to nothing was too much trouble for him when asked to help us with a problem. John was very informative about our next site we going to visit and would always know the history of the place before we got there. Paul was a fantastic driver very quiet but also very polite but never missed a beat always new exactly where he was going at all times never had to be given directions and a very safe driver. Every morning when we came to get on the coach he was ready with all luggage already packed. As for our travel group they were all very nice not a nasty person amongst them we all got on very well all in 50 to 60's age group. The 20 days went very quickly we would do it again, lots of memories. My first contact was with Global Journeys and I was most impressed by your staff member Yvonne who helped with my many questions on many occasions no matter what I was asking she calmly helped me and her advice on the before and after accommodation especially was very helpful.
Would not hesitate to use Global Journeys again 1
East Coast USA and Canada
Janice Tunny, Australia, Jun 2014
We had a wonderful time, everything went to plan and our guide Linda Mancini was great and my partner and I would certainly recommend Trafalgar tours based on our experience. Georgie from Global Journeys booked our tour and we would not hesitate to use her services again in the future.
Really enjoyed our Trafalgar tour 2
Northern Italian Lakes & Countryside
Barbara Sweeney, Australia, Jun 2014
Yes we really enjoyed our Trafalgar tour around the Italian Lakes, the coach was comfortable and the driver & guide good. We did enjoy staying at Riva del Garda for 5 days. It was a lovely place and we did some interesting trips on some of the days. Global Journeys looked after us very well and we thank you for that.
The Insight 'Italian Elegance' Tour was an excellent tour. We were impressed with the standard of accommodation and the centrality to most of the major attractions. The optional tours were also very good although we found that there was a little more hard sell to take up these tours than there was on the Avalon River Cruise we did afterwards. All the read more little add ons, e.g. ice-creams, coffees etc were always first class. The dinners provided at the hotels varied from fair to very good. Some establishments provided good options, others did not. The restaurants we went to were excellent. Our Tour Director, Brad, was excellent no issue was a problem to him and he was very approachable. Again, too much information is provided, when on tour and when on the coach. We just found ourselves losing concentration at times. On some days we did not take the optional tours, we did our own thing, just to break up the information overload. Overall we loved this tour with The Italian Lakes and the Dolomites being the highlights, Tuscany was not far behind.
Fast paced tour of England, Scotland and Wales 2
Best of Britain
Timothy Bussemaker , Australia, Jun 2014
As advertised, this was a fast paced tour of a huge swathe of England, Scotland and Wales. (At times possibly a little too fast, hence the 'very good'.) Our tour guide Michael Cronin was excellent, given the large tour numbers (48). His patience and knowledge were exceptional, as well as his ability to 'shepherd' the group, ensuring that we didn't read more fall behind schedule. Accommodation was generally excellent however on a couple of occasions later in the tour, (I think Aviemore, but am not completely sure) where breakfasts could have been better as a number of groups stayed at the same hotel and staff appeared to be under a lot of pressure. The reason for the Global Journeys experience rating - Very Good - was because of the change of tour dates - this was probably beyond the control of Global Journeys. Otherwise Kirby & Amy were excellent. By the way how is Kirby traveling with her twins? (Ed. She's a lot lighter, and extremely happy with a healthy boy & girl! Thanks for asking!)
A lovely experience, better than I thought it would be 2
Easy Pace Italy
Raquel Gomez, Australia, Jun 2014
It was a lovely experience, better than I thought it would be. Destinations were great, only wish there had been a little longer time in each detination. Our visit to Pisa was so short we could not get a time to enter Cathedral or Go Up the Tower. But never mind it was still wonderful :)
Really enjoyed our tour and had many wonderful experiences 2
Best of Spain & Portugal
Greg McGrath, Australia, Jun 2014
We really enjoyed our tour of Spain and Portugal and had many wonderful experiences. Toni, the tour guide, was fantastic and gave us great insights into these two amazing countries. Our tour consultant, Georgie, was most helpful in helping us to organise our trip with to ensure that everything went smoothly.
