Recent Reviews What our clients are saying about their journeys through the British Isles
All the cities and towns we visited were of historical and cultural importance and our touring group took the opportunity to capture many stunning photos. There were numerous highlights of this tour, but I felt Scotland and Ireland really shone in their own right: I loved experiencing the crispness and purity of the Scottish Highlands and immersing in the scenery and charm offered by Ireland’s Dingle Peninsula and Ring of Kerry regions.
This is the third Cosmos tour I have been on and I find their tours to be of excellent value for money. Our tour director, Oshan, was exceptional and I felt safe in how Ian, our coach driver, handled the roads. Our tour group only had 26 travellers which was a pleasant surprise, we travelled on a brand new coach and to top it off, we had perfect weather for the duration of the tour!
Accommodation on the tour was for the most part entirely comfortable and centrally located in the towns we were staying in. I chose to participate in all optional excursions offered and whilst they were all different experiences, they added to my overall enjoyment of the tour. I felt the tour stayed for the right number of nights in each of the towns as per the itinerary and on the days we had longer distances to travel, I felt we still had adequate free time to explore the locations we visited.
I thoroughly enjoyed this tour and I recommend it to anyone wanting to cover the UK and Ireland in depth. I also recommend the fuss-free process of booking through Global Journeys. This was the first time I’ve used their services and I was pleased my consultant, Maisie, kept me informed of the status of my booking at all times.
