Wonderful Tour of Spain, Morocco and Portugal 0
Spain, Morocco and Portugal
Ron, QLD, Australia, Jul 2024
This was a great tour. Well organised and with attention to detail. We saw a real cross section of sites in all three countries and were treated to plenty of exposure to local customs. The accommodation was first class Our guide, Rafael was full of knowledge and ensured that everything worked. Jorge was our fantastic coach driver.
We totally enjoyed our group tour with Costsaver. Absolutely loved Japan and our guide Mayomi wa excellent. Loved Japan so much that we are going back!
We had a wonderful time on this tour. We saw many wonderful places. The tour guide provided detailed information and everything went smoothly. We would definitely recommend this tour to everyone.
Absolutely brilliant way to see so much of Italy. We booked a 13 day Costsaver tour through Global Journeys. Most hotels we stayed 2 nights and the pace was fairly quick with some time to wander around but deadlines to keep. We were exhausted by the end but saw so much.
Britan and Ireland amazing tour 0
Britain & Ireland Discovery
Daniel and Catherine, NSW, Australia, Jun 2024
The Britan and Ireland tour - our second trip back to back with Insight, again exeeded our expectations. Insight Vacations have done an amazing job with this tour too, which we both thoroughly enjoyed.
Sam from Global Journeys did a great job to find a tour that included all of our "bucket list" items and fitted with our other travel plans. His attention to detail, helpful advice and timely communication was first class. Although not our first choice due to last minute booking Costsaver provided all of the elements of a first visit to Japan we were read more looking for. Keiko the Tour Director carried her role perfectly. She was friendly, knowledgeable of the history, culture and geography and she provided a great insight into modern versus ancient Japan. All of the "Choice Experiences" complemented the tour and proved worthwhile. One disappointment that comes to mind was the choice of coach for the latter part of the Journey - It was less spacious and had no wi-fi compared with the coach provided in Tokyo. No complaints about either driver - they were very capable and courteous. Hotel accommodation was adequate.
We did a 12-day trip into Japan as part of the CostSaver experience and had a really great time overall visiting Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Himeji, and Osaka. We found the tour guide to be knowledgeable in the country and in their ability to speak English and help solve problems. The itinerary was pretty packed and we were really tired most nights, read more but that's okay. My wife said, "We can sleep when we're dead," as we really tried to maximize our time in country. We got to see a huge swath of the country, try a lot of foods, and have a number of diverse experiences. While we enjoyed some aspects of the tour more than others, there wasn't a single part that we disliked. We took part in the majority of the optional packages, and they were good value for money. We would completely recommend the tour for couples and families with older children (teenagers).
The tour leader and the driver are great. I'm having a great time. Enjoying the sites seeing for the first time. I really recommend if you want to visit Germany for short period of time.
Great Scandinavian tour with exceptional Tour Director 2
Highlights of Scandinavia
Susan and Jennifer, NSW, Australia, Jun 2024
We had the absolute best tour - our Tour Director - Mike, was awesome - he was very knowledgeable and super nice to everyone. Greg the bus driver was outstanding. Highlights were the stop at Bergen and the waterfall stop on the Flåm Railway. But everything was memorable and thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks Mike you are a star.
Would highly recommend this tour, everything ran smoothly. 3
Grand Italy & Sicily
Caterina and Rosemary, VIC, Australia, May 2024
Would highly recommend this tour, as everything was organised. The tour director and coach driver delivered a high standard of customer service.
I and the other travellers on the tour saw many amazing sites & had some fantastic experiences. My fellow travellers were friendly and easy to get along with. Our driver was clever, cheerful and helpful; nothing fazed him. The tour director was knowledgeable about the sites & places we saw. She was also efficient and kept good control of the group. read more I think she could have delivered the information she gave us better, i.e. not all at once shortly before we arrived at places but in shorter installments along the way. For most of each leg of the journey, there was complete silence with very few if any explanation of sites of interest along the way. I didn't find her particularly approachable, or patient at times. Often my (very few) direct questions to her were not even responded to.
I was also rather disappointed that too many of the experiences were optional extras, which were very expensive too, although most of those were great. I thought that for the price I paid, more experiences and meals should have been included. I would not use Costsaver again at this stage.

Tuscany was stunning and the tour was really handy to be able to stay for 6 nights in one spot and go out to somewhere different everyday. The tour guide was very professional. I enjoyed the cooking class and would have preferred more time at Cinque Terra. It was spectacular. Had a great time all round.
This was fast paced but with our hilarious and caring tour leader Nikos, everyone had a ball! Corfu was a highlight and would love to have spent more time so as to visit the Durrell house. Lots of history shared and most of Greece's special places, included. Do it! Yamas!
The European Grandeur tour has exeeded our expectations. Insight Vacations have done an amazing job with this tour which we both thouroughly enjoyed.
Beautiful is the first thought that comes to mind as I recall our time spent in Japan. From the Japanese people to the countryside, the culture, food, gardens and everything in between. Trafalgar looked after us well, with the amazing Yama as our tour director. She worked so hard to make sure everyone needs were met. We travelled with a great bunch read more of people and had lots of fun along the way. A couple of the meal experiences could have been explained better but other than that no complaints. I would happily recommend this trip to anyone seeking an overall experience of what Japan can offer. Georgie was very helpful with organising the trip.
Great itinerary with a broad span of experiences 1
Italian Elegance
Norm and Michele, VIC, Australia, May 2024
We loved the variety of experiences on this trip. From the busy sights of Rome, Florence, Pisa and Venice to the charm of Lake Maggiore, Cinque Terre and the grandeur of the Dolomites, we saw Italy at its best. The pace was just right and tour guide excellent. The only downside was rather repetitive fixed menus for dinner in the early stages of the read more trip, which improved as we moved away from the busiest centres. Organisation by Global Journeys was great and everything clicked into place.
Country Roads of Southern Italy & Sicily 2
Country Roads of Southern Italy & Sicily
Trevor and Sandra, VIC, Australia, May 2024
Thanks to Hannah from Global Journeys for organising the tour for us. You made it easy for us. This is the third trip with Insight and everything was well organised and comfortable with a good Tour Director and Driver in a new spacious coach. This tour showed other parts of Italy/Sicily we have not seen on other Italy tours. Highlights were getting read more to see the history going back to Greece invasion in BC times and Arib influences. Mt Etna is amazing. Would recommend this tour with Insight and Global Journeys for all their help.
We had 29 on our tour and we all got along. Quite often we would pair up with other couple to sit with at breakfast or dinner. We had a lot of fun with the other guests and everyone had a good sense of humour including our tour guide, Maja and the driver Laszlo. We had unseasonal warm weather in Copenhagen, Stockholm and most of Finland until we got read more to the Arctic Circle. We saw some amazing things and the scenery was breathtaking. Well worth it.
Most enjoyable tour. Trafalgar Excellent and an excellent tour guide in Amanda. Such transitions in landscape starting in Denmark then a complete contrast in Norway. Recommend this tour to everyone.
We enjoyed the scenery and lovely towns and villages. Too many long coach days though. Would have loved a more enthusiastic , passionate tour guide with some French music on the coach on the long travel days. Too many optional excursions that should be included like orientation walk of Nice and Aix en Provence.
