What our clients are saying about their Rail Journey experiences
Northern Light didn’t disappoint
Mountaintops of Switzerland
Cheryl and Rod, QLD, Australia, Oct 2026
Following on from an amazing 8 days of rail journeys through Mountain tops of Switzerland with Travelmarvel we had high expectations that Hurtigruten would deliver with Follow the Northern Lights through Norway and Finland. Although it didn’t snow, there was plenty of snow to be seen on the mountains and the cruise delivered the northern lights 5 nights read more in a row. After doing the rail in Switzerland, the Flåm rail trip was a little bit of a let down in comparison, however the ferry ride through the fiord leaving Flåm was spectacular. Our group of 20 were fun to travel with and our Tour leader Anne Duval kept everyone informed and went way above what was expected. Much of her down time was spent exploring the towns and cities with whoever wished to join her. The booking process, change updates and answers to our many questions were all handled promptly with Global Journeys and as repeat customers we’ll certainly continue to book holidays through them.
What an amazing trip! Too many highlights to single one out. All of the tour guides were not just very lovely people, but also exceptionally good at their jobs. One glitch was a 24 hour travelling day; up at 4am and to bed at 4am the next day - Arequipa to Lima to Brazil (3 flights). And a recommendataion or two - we extended our stay in Buenos Aires read more to spend some time in the Palermo districts of Soho and Hollywood, then took the ferry to Uruguay - the town of Colonia del Sacramento (Unesco World Heritage site) is stunning and worth a couple of nights stay.
Rockies and Alaskan Adventure
Rockies and Alaskan Adventure
Ron, VIC, Australia, Aug 2026
The trip was fascinating, though a bit tiring. All arrangements including flights booked by Tracey went perfectly. Much appreciated! The tour all the way to Fairbanks in Alaska is the highlight of the tour. However, the train ride by Rocky Mountaineer was a bit boring, just kept feeding us on the train. They should have a few stops during the day.

Canadian Masterpiece with Rocky Mountaineer & Alaska Cruise
Sherilyn, NSW, Australia, Jul 2026
This tour " Canadian Masterpiece with Rocky Mountaineer and Alaskan Cruise" with Cosmos through Global Journeys was truly wonderful . The itinerary was perfect and well paced and the tour director was fantastic. Every destination was full of stunning scenery whether it was from the Rocky mountaineer train , from the coach, on a gondola or chairlift, read more in the resort towns, from a look out , from a boat or a cruise ship , from a raft or from a helicopter and even from an ice explorer on a glacier and from a suspension bridge! This scenery included snow capped picturesque mountains, magnificent glaciers, beautiful mirrored lakes, rivers, and bays, lush forests and waterfalls, spectacular gardens, beautiful valleys, sunsets and ocean as well as exciting wildlife such as bears, eagles, otters, seals, sea lions, elk, deer and whales. An epic trip ! Thank you.
