What our clients are saying about their journeys through the British Isles
Interesting and well planned tour.
Introduction to Ireland
John and Janette, TAS, Australia, May 2026
Our Ireland tour gave us a good glance at the main interest areas of Southern Ireland. Accommodation and meals were generally pleasing. Happy with tour director and driver.
Scotland Country Roads
Country Roads of Scotland
Sharon and Peter , NS, Canada, May 2026
This was a very good bus trip, and we particularly enjoyed travelling by ferry to the Orkney Islands. It is something not normally included in many Scotland trips. The sites there- Italian Chapel, Ring of Brogdar, Skara Brae and Skaile House were particularly interesting. Ethan Battison helped us tremendously in planning this trip and we highly recommend him.
Absolutely no complaints with our fabulous Trafalgar 14-day tour of Ireland. Staying two nights at each accommodation stop provided added comfort to what was still a busy schedule. Grace at Global Journeys her expertly made our bookings, was always readily available, and I recommend this travel company.
Costsaver 15 Day Britain and Ireland tour
Britain and Ireland Experience
Paul and Patricia, SA, Australia, May 2026
Thanks to Tracy for looking after our booking with the Middle East conflict affecting the uncertainty of the tour. We had a great tour with only 20 people on our tour with plenty of room on the bus. The downside was having 20 on board some elected not to rotate with nothing being inforced. We had great commentary from our tour director Simmone of the read more history of the UK. Some of the optional tours were a bit expensive due to our dollar compared to the English pound and Euro. We had a record heat wave for May in the UK with only 2 days we had rain for half an hour on our optional walking tours which we accepted. The accommodation was good apart from Treacy's in Waterford being an Irish Pub. A couple of hotel meals were an inconvenience due to the hotels booking out dinners and the the hotels being out of town was not acceptable and treated as such. More time in Dublin would have been nice as we only had time to go to the Guiness factory with 8 of us doing the tour on our own which should have been part of the optional tours. If you want to see the UK Costsaver 15 day Britain and Ireland experience is worth considering.
Great way to see Ireland
Irish Discovery
David and Karen, NSW , Australia, May 2026
We would not hesitate in recommending Cosmos for this tour. Great roomy coach, fantastic driver & guide, comfortable accommodation and good sightseeing activity. It is fast passed so don’t consider if you are looking for a rest, you can do that at home. Once again Hannah and Mandy at Global made the booking and managing process easy and without drama. read more Ireland is very expensive compared to Aust but on par with UK so be prepared.
