Excellent overview of a fascinating country   , QLD, Australia, May 2025
We loved the tour run by G Adventures. Very pleased we did the 2 week tour rather than a shorter tour as there is so much to see and experience. Accommodation was modest but safe and adequate, transportation in a dedicated minibus was excellent. As on other G Adventures tours, the other participants were very compatible from a range of nationalities. ...read more We were thrilled with the tour and commend it to others.
Great Greek Island Hopper   , Queensland, Australia, May 2025
Our Trafalgar Greek Island Hopper tour was great. The history of Athens and the islands is fascinating and the scenery of the islands was spectacular. The accommodation was good and the local specialists were great, especially for the tour of Megalochori, the bronze age archaeological site on Santorini. Having to drag our own suitcases on and off ...read more the island ferries was a bit of a surprise for us on a Trafalger tour, but our tour director guided us through that process well. The biggest disappointment was the number of optional experiences that didn't go ahead.

Of the ten optional experiences advertised in the Trafalgar brochure only three actually occurred. While some were cancelled due to weather, which is understandable, or were cancelled due to lack of numbers, still others were simply not on the list when we arrived in Athens. While our tour director arranged for us to go to dinner at a restaurant instead of a couple of the optional experiences, we did not get to experience any traditional Greek music or dancing as we had hoped. Despite this we still had a great time, with a lovely mix of people on the tour and plenty of time to see the sights, do shopping, eat out, meet the locals and get a feel for the places we visited.
Greece Classical Tour     , WA, Australia, Dec 2024
From the moment we booked with Collette and Global Journeys, it was a seamless experience. We were regularly updated on every aspect of our trip, from flight details, check in information, tour group numbers, hotel information at each stop etc. We knew every day the full itinerary on where we were going and staying. Our tour manager George was amazing. ...read more He was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. He actually made the trip as fantastic as it was. We were very lucky to only have 6 people on our tour so we all became friends very quickly. One of the highlights were the monasteries in Meteora and the stay in a small town in Nafplia which was just stunning. We managed to fit so much into our 10 day tour it was just brilliant. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough. It was so good, I’d do it all over again. The main highlight of our tour was becoming engaged in Athens. A very magical place and will forever be special to us. We can’t wait to come back to Greece to see some more of this beautiful country.
Wonderful Greece tour   , NSW, Australia, Oct 2024
To go and see the monastery wass always what I wanted to do so I’m so glad that I've done it now, Booking with Hannah makes booking so easy. She is so wonderful and efficient to deal with, not to mention very fast to respond your questions. It was a busy tour and we had 44 of us but we all got along very well, I have been on a few tours with really ...read more big in group sizes and I remember sometimes I only know the person sitting next to me but in this tour I knew more than 2/3 of group members. Everyone was so friendly. I would book another Cosmos trip again and of course I will use Hannah as my booking agent at Global Journeys. Thank you Hannah.
