Beautiful Palaces, Vistas and Music     , NSW, Australia, May 2025
Our thanks to Rachael from Global Journeys who did a fabulous job and paved the way, to help us effortlessly join Globus the Best of Austria and Switzerland Tour. We had been to Austria and Switzerland before and were so impressed, we wanted to see more. The highlight this time was spending more time in the spectacular mountains - going up the Matterhorn, ...read more Mount Pilatus and Hitler’s Eagle Nest. We really enjoyed this tour but found the Local Experts, although they were fabulously knowledgeable, they ended up being an information overload and quite draining. Also, some places had more time allotted than was required, by our group. Both were subjective of course. All in all, an amazing experience.
Another winner from Trafalgar.   , WA, Australia, Sep 2024
Our trip The best of Germany and Austria was amazing. We travelled at a lovely pace with time for showers and change of clothes before dinner. Plenty of options to choose from. Absolutely loved the shows combined with the dinners, they are always an ice breaker, getting to know your group. This trip will not disappoint. Our travel director Erik was ...read more wonderful always available for anyone that had a query or a problem they needed help with. As always only the best of coach drivers.
Essence of Austria     , WA, Australia, Jun 2023
Loved the itinerary and Kinga was an amazing guide. Loved the hotels location after Munich with some amazing views and of the track locations. The coach was disappointing prior to the overheating. Definitely not luxury standard. Was a Mercedes but modified to have extra rows of seats that were not overly comfortable - made very small leg room and made ...read more you sit twisted and uncomfortable for entire trip. Lucky we could sit on our own. Driver didn’t really engage with guests until breakdown when he needed our assistance/patience. Kinga made the trip with knowledge, humour and personality!
Spectacular Switzerland and Austria   , VIC, Australia, May 2023
This was such a wonderful 13 day Trafalgar tour of Switzerland and Austria in May 2023. The Alps were stunning, and the towns and villages we visited were beautiful, with so much history. I thought the optional tours that I did were well worth doing, even though they were pricey, but then Switzerland is a very expensive country to visit. The itinerary ...read more on this tour was great and I loved everywhere we went. Also, I think it's well worth spending a few days before or after the tour in Zurich, as there is so much to see there, and also a beautiful city, especially the Old Town and lake/river areas.

Our Trafalgar travel director, Dr Q, was absolutely fantastic, very friendly and knowledgeable, and always there to help. The coach driver was excellent, and a very safe, cautious driver, especially when he was navigating our coach around the many narrow hairpin bends in the spectacular Alps. The hotels were great and well located, which is important. Thank you again, Tracey and Georgie from Global Journeys, with your help in organising yet another wonderful holiday.
