What our clients are saying about their Rail Journey experiences
“Hassle free holiday”
Mallika & Wimal - VIC, Australia Jul 2019
It was a hassle free holiday we had after a long time. The tour was exactly what we expected. We are really happy with how it was organised. We feel that we wouldn’t be able to cover what we saw during the tour if we were on our own. Thanks so much for that. The Tour Leader Jody and the driver Peter were two wonderful people who were so knowledgeable, professional and lovely to be with. We would not hesitate to book another holiday with Global Journeys. Everything was so precisely done, except
...read more one hotel accommodation. That was the Delta hotel by Marriott, the room given to us was soooo noisy due to a faulty air conditioner, and our night's sleep was ruined. It was like a train going inside the room. The Holland America Cruise; it would have been ideal if the cost was quoted including the compulsory gratuities, so that we could do our budgeting easier. Food was nice compared to our previous cruises. Cruise entertainment was not so impressive especially one comedian out of the two, and apart from that everything was professionally done.
“The amazing Rockies and Alaska”
Carol - NSW, Australia Jul 2019
The trip surpassed all my expectations. Every day was a new and beautiful part of Canada that got better and better. The Cosmos tour was fantastic. It showed us so many hidden gems and I would recommend this trip to anyone wanting to experience western Canada and Alaska.
“Exceptional holiday to Canada and Alaska”
Julie & Anne - NSW, Australia Jul 2019
We had a wonderful, well organised holiday through Canada and Alaska. A coach full of only Australian tourists, who, apart from 2 people, all continued on the cruise. Great friendships made and good times had by all.
