Prague, Vienna and Budapest (Winter)

The trip was fabulous, the cities explored were so imperial and impressive. Our Tour Director Agnes was wonderful, she knew everything about all the cities and places of where to go in your spare time. She was also thoughtful and attentive to all the travellers. Highly recommend Trafalgar and Global Journeys for an amazing adventure. Hotels were excellent.
Morocco with a view
New Year's in Morocco
Katherine, MD, United States, Dec 2025
Morocco has a lot to offer. The people are wonderful, the scenery was just stunning. We had sunshine, snow, wind and a little rain and was even blessed with a rainbow in the desert. I can’t say enough about our guide Omar. He was able to answer all of our questions, he treated us to local music and displayed his musical talents. If there was any read more issues he was always there to fix them. It was a great trip.
Winter Xmas
Winter Wonderland
Lorraine , NSW, Australia, Dec 2025
Destinations, bus comfort & top hotels made this tour exceptional. Included meals were always top class & guide was friendly, knowledgeable & helpful. Only negative was that 1 night stops made trip seemed rushed - 2 nights in each location would have provided more leisurely experience.
Wendy Woo's Christmas in Japan tour was amazing. It did rely on a lot of bus rides and a couple of train rides but that enabled us to see places far and wide. The hotels we stayed at were all of a high standard, with most being centrally located. We were exposed to a variety of Japanese foods and all meals breakfast, lunch and dinner, were included read more in the cost. Highlights included: seeing Mt Fuji clearly; dressing in kimonos and making sweets during a tea ceremony, and feeding deer in Nara.
8 Days Xmas Markets Europe
Christmas Markets of Austria, Germany and Switzerland
Laksh, VIC, Australia, Dec 2025
You get what you signed up for - loads of unvarying Xmas markets! The wares are the same whether it is Vienna, Munich, Salzburg, Innsbruck or Lucerne with minor price diff. The Euro Xmas traditions & stories are interesting. Glugwein mugs are fun to collect. Itinerary is great & good weather definitely helps. You will get more fog than snow due to unseasonably read more warm winter frm mid to late Dec 2025. Optional experiences are grear - be prepared for extra €600. Great timing & organisation to avoid crowds but Tour Director rather blase & not informative. Included meals went downhill after the start at Vienna with mediocre welcome dinner & venue. Accom is central & not bad. Overall- pretty good 7 days tour but counting the last day which is just drop off at airport at Zurich is diabolically misleading!
Exceptional Danube Tour Germany to Hungary
Danube Christmas Markets with Nuremberg
Maree, SA, Australia, Dec 2025
Our booking with Hannah at Global Journeys was seamless. There isn't a single thing I would've changed on our Danube Cruise with Scenic Waterways. We felt spoilt from the first day until the last. Just the right amount of free time and the tours were very good. We cruised in December & it was Christmas Market magic.
