What our clients are saying about their journeys through Central Europe
This was our 3rd tour with Insight Vacations over the years and once again a very enjoyable tour with good travel companions from different countries. Global Journeys were our Travel booking consultants who always look after us with our bookings, they run a very efficient service, and we started using Global Journeys in 2017.
In Germany the range of read more accommodation never disappointed us, and we always rose to a good feed at breakfast that accommodated for many nationalities. Our tour companions were friendly, fun and great to be with, our tour guide was a delight she had a wonderful bright personality and energy. We loved the many villages we visited and the local tour guides. Weather was excellent and our favourite area was the Bavarian areas of Germany, Neuschwanstein Castle and surrounding area was a special place to see. A very enjoyable tour.

I was reluctant to book another Albatross tour due to a previous negative experience with a tour guide however current tour guide Vili and bus driver Boris restored my faith. Vili is a local from Istria so had extra knowledge and added personal touches to the tour. We had 13 people on a huge coach and I chose Albatross as it was the only tour company read more that went to Plitvice, Lake Bled, Postojna Caves and Predjama Castle. Starting in Vienna and ending in Trieste enhanced following the Habsburg journey. Sadly some of the fellow travellers always had to be the center of attention and I prefer tours that draw a variety of nationalities who seem more tolerant and open minded to other cultures, but this had the best itinerary for what I wanted to see...Grace ensured the booking was smooth so thank you.

Some of the hotels were certainly not as good as we thought they should be. There were several extra excursions and this were done during the day. I think they should be at night and use the day to show the people around. We were also dropped off at the city centre and given 2-3 to shop when we should have been taken to see sights. It was disappointing.
Fabulous!!! Great place to visit.

When there was optional excursions and we chose not to go. The tour director should recommend other things we could see or explore. The excursions and shopping are pushed much more than explaining what else might be available. By the time we found out at each stop there wasn’t enough time left to do anything. The guide Lucy was very helpful with a problem read more I had and she went above and beyond her job to help.

It was a very good organized tour, with a lot of information about the places we had seen being on the road. Our tour guide Szuszanna Luka was our tour guide and source of all possible information. The driver was excellent. The local guides provided a lot of interesting information. The only thing that I was not happy were some of the hotels that we read more stayed during the tour. Yes I would look for Cosmos offering tours if decided to get another tour.
Thoroughly enjoyed travelling by train around Switzerland with Cosmos as it was uncomplicated, experienced tour leader, good numer of passangers (had 26 - max is 31) relaxing, amazing scenery as we were extremely fortunate to have great weather.
