Amazing Eastern Canada   0 , NSW, Australia, Sep 2025
Thank you Georgie for arranging such a great trip. This was my first visit to Eastern Canada and it will certainly not be my last. Travelmarvel as usual organised a great itinerary with good hotels, good food and and amazing tour directors. As usual Holland America’s cruise was also great. The tours offered by the cruise liner were great and well organised. ...read more I did send my review to Travelmarvel recommending increasing the number of days of the tour - one additional day each in both Montreal and Quebec.
Relaxing Douro River Cruise.   0 , WA, Australia, Sep 2025
This cruise was excellent is many ways - boat was great, rooms good, staff were wonderful. They were extremely attentive and responded to all requests immediately, as well as being pleasant, sociable, and linking well with the group and individuals. The Douro is a wine and port region, so the views were spectacular over the terraced vineyards and Quintas. ...read more There was a variety of good entertainment in the evenings - Karaoke/Dancing/Singers/ Fado. Staff were active in encouraging all this and participated themselves. The meals were excellent and offered a lot of variety and choice. All wines with dinner were included. The tours were all quite interesting. However, there were no 'active' excursions. There were no hikes/bikes/kayaking, as there are on other advertised Douro cruises. Although you indicated we could get suggestions from the cruise director, there was only one day that he suggested a hike that was well worth doing. Otherwise, we were in ports without interesting hikes, or he had no suggestions. As we are active travelers, often walking/hiking 6-10km a day, or biking, this was very disappointing. Although the cathedrals/castles/wine and port excursions were interesting, they only involved minimal walking - often no more than 1 km. So, if you are not looking for an active tour, this was excellent in all other ways.
Fantastic Tour of Spain & Portugal   0 , SA, Australia, Sep 2025
What a fantastic tour! Arriving into Barcelona a day early was definitely a good plan enabling me to participate in a couple of additional experiences. The tour through Spain had many highlights. Alhambra Palace and the accommodation we had stand out. I really enjoyed the walking tours in each city and these were balanced with free time providing an ...read more opportunity to return to attractions. We had two nights in most places and with most hotels well located, it enabled easy access to restaurants, attractions and getting a feel for the city.

The included experiences were fantastic. I particularly enjoyed the flamenco show with dinner in Seville, the olive oil farm with tour, tasting and lunch and the visit to the Royal Equestrian School. The included breakfasts and highlight lunches and dinners were fabulous but it was also great to have the chance to try local restaurants with other tour group members. I would definitely recommend this Travelmarvel tour. The Tour Director Barbara and coach driver as well as all of our local guides were excellent. I was also very grateful to Grace from Global Journeys who booked my trip, made enquiries on my behalf and answered all questions I had throughout the booking process. All went smoothly.
Travelmarvel Northern Territory and Kimberley Tour - Darwin to Broome     0 , QLD, Australia, Aug 2025
The start of this tour began with Tracey - a great beginning for any travel plans! As always, proactive and responsive with any advice or assistance needed.

This was a wonderful tour from the start in Darwin to my finish in Broome. It ticked a number of the wonderful bucket list items Australia offers. The group was a friendly, engaging one and more ...read more than ably led by Tour Director Sue and Coach Captain Jaime. Apparently the first time they had worked together and certainly an ‘A Team’. Very interested and caring of all on board. The tour was most enjoyable, fun, smooth, with plenty of information provided to make the most of the experiences and areas/places we went through. So many highlights – among them Kununurra, the Durack Homestead and El Questro.

A number of us were unaware of optional tours available. I had privately prebooked the Horizontal Falls tour in Broome before leaving home and was able to get a seat on the Bungle Bungles optional flight. These were not included in the tour and though expensive are a 'must do' if at all possible. This is a tour I would certainly recommend. However more advance information provided re optional opportunities would be very helpful.
Fantastic Itinerary and Tour Guide     0 , QLD, Australia, Aug 2025
We chose this tour based on what was covered in the extensive itinerary, and we were not disappointed. It ticked all the “must do” points of interest in a Canadian west coast tour, and the 7 night cruise and additional few days overland in Alaska were well worth it. We were travelling at the end of the season, with a number of tourist venues and experiences ...read more actually closing down for the winter within days of our trip. This was not entirely a disadvantage, as we were rewarded with a smattering of snow on some mountain peaks as well as tree foliage turning into autumn yellow. We were slightly disappointed that we did not see a lot of wildlife - bears in particular - but the weather was kind to us and allowed us to see spectacular scenery without it being shrouded in rain, mist or cloud. We had not been on a ship as large as Holland America’s Nieuw Amsterdam before (2,100 pax) but we were impressed by the quality of staterooms and dining, and the helpfulness and efficiency of the crew.

One disadvantage of the tour was the large group size (49), which is larger than we prefer, but at least the whole group was punctual for the entire trip, which allowed time for some little “extras” along the way. The Travelmarvel tour guide, Ben, was absolutely fantastic – a young 30-something Queenslander who had been living in Canada for 10+ years. He was extremely hard-working, thorough, always cheerful, and with a smile, patiently answered questions from those who should have listened to his briefings in the first place! His quirky sense of humour had the whole bus laughing and added significantly to our enjoyment of the tour.
Rockies and Alaskan Adventure   0 , Victoria, Australia, Aug 2025
Georgie Walpole managed my booking very well and special thanks go to her. Ben Direen was an excellent tour guide and made every member of the group feel special. He had a wonderful sense of humour and kept the very busy tour on time. The accommodation was comfortable and well placed. Staffing for breakfast at a couple of the hotels was limited but ...read more this may have been because of the end of the tourist season and early departure of some of those staff. I would not choose to cruise on such a large ship in the future as my preference is for smaller ships and fewer passengers. Otherwise, everything went as scheduled.
Tropical North Queensland   0 , Australia, Aug 2025
The trip overall was wonderful. The driver was awesome and very knowledgeable about all aspects of Ithe places we saw. He even had to do some repairs to the coach. My main concern was that the travel details from Travelmarvel arrived too late. We were both packed and I had actually started my holiday having left home in Melbourne to Brisbane. We ...read more then realized we had to repack in a different case as a hard case would not be accepted. I also did not receive my name badge as this came after I left home. We were also not given the opportunity to pre book for the extra trips; eg. eco tour on ferry and the helicopter ride.
Greta experience   0 , New Zealand, Aug 2025
This was our first cruise and we took some of the family 21 years to 30 years old on what was older types (like me). Overall it as a great experience. The transfer from airport to boat was on time and as planned. The boat was amazing. The facilities, meals and crew provided the best service and experience you could ask for. Some things changed as we ...read more sailed but this was due to things outside their control and the alternatives were as good if not better. I cant speak highly enough of the crew and the friendly and helpful nature of all. Highly recommend this to anyone. Our young ones had a great time and throughly enjoyed themselves as well.

FAQ's

I am traveling alone. Is this OK?

Many passengers travel with Travelmarvel on their own. You can choose to pay the single-supplement rate which enables you to be accommodated in a single room or cabin. Alternatively you can choose to be matched up with a person of the same gender and pay the twin-share price. In this instance, accommodation will be in twin-bedded rooms (not applicable on river cruises).

What is the average age of people on your tours & crusies?

Our clients are generally 55+, but more than age, a positive attitude is important in a group situation. We have found ages to be as diverse and varied as the sites and attractions you will see on tour.

Are airport transfers included?

Airport transfers are complimentary if arriving and departing on the first and the last day of your trip. All flight information must be given to your Global Journeys travel advisor at least 90 days prior to your departure date.

Are internal flights itinerary included in our itinerary?

Once the tour commences, all internal flights are included. Travelmarvel has chosen the best available connections for your holiday; some of these may be early morning or late afternoon departures. We find flight schedules can change regularly, and our Travelmarvel tour director will keep you informed of any changes that occur while on tour. Since we cannot guarantee pre-assigned seats or do a group check-in ahead of time, your tour director will assist you at the airports.

Are gratuities included?

Gratuities are included for all of your included meals, hotel charges, Travelmarvel tour director, driver and local guides. See your travel documentation for any variations to this.

Why should I book my next adventure with Travelmarvel?

Travelmarvel's included touring highlights take in all the classic sights, from iconic destinations to the quaint places that embody the diversity of the region. Travelmarvel recognises that not all travellers have the same interests. That's why we have developed Freedom of Choice touring, allowing you to choose your own activities in selected locations - adding a personal touch to your holiday.

With Freedom of Choice Touring you are presented with a selection of different touring activities to choose from in feature locations that best suits your interests and we will incorporate it into your itinerary.
