Grand Tour of Britain and Ireland 4 , IL, United States, Jul 2019
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour with Cosmos. Our tour guide (Andrew) and coach driver (Steve) worked extremely well together. The sights we saw were nothing short of fantastic, but Andrew added so much more with his commentary and stories along the way! We did all but one optional excursion, and they were all excellent. These optional excursions added ...read more so much more to our trip!

Probably the only complaint we had was not being able to spend enough time in some of the larger cities, but I guess that comes with the territory as we needed to be on the road to our next destination. I would not recommend staying at the London Novotel West. Our room had no air whatsoever (i.e. it was broken), it had a broken mini-fridge, and the room had an overall dirty feel to it. To be honest, we couldn't wait to leave our room at that hotel each morning. Aside from that one hotel, the others on our journey were perfectly fine.
A Great Way to see the Historic sites, Cities and Beautiful Countryside of UK and Ireland 1 , S.A., Australia, Jul 2019
Be prepared for a whirlwind tour in comfort. The Cosmos coach was roomy with good legroom. Every day seats were allocated in rotation, so everybody had a chance to sit up front, middle and rear of the coach. About every 2 hours or less the coach stopped for a comfort and coffee stop, often in a place of interest or scenic beauty. The pace was fast with ...read more early morning starts the norm. There were only a couple of 2 night stops and they were appreciated after packing and unpacking everyday. The group of 44 on the bus were mainly Caucasian, English speaking Australians, Canadians and Americans, friendly enough but never really gelled as a group, but it was argument and dispute free.

A little disappointing was that many of the stops where there was an attraction, that no admission tickets were included , the tour was well priced but personally we would have preferred to pay just a little extra and have these entrance fees included. If we had no interest in the attraction on offer, apart from the usual woollen and souvenir/cafe shops, time was wasted while those who chose to see the attraction were away. Be sure to take a good book to while away the waits.
Awesome tour 3 , WA, Australia, May 2019
Had a fabulous time on my 18 day trip around UK and Ireland seeing so many interesting places that were on my bucket list. Would not have been possible without our wonderful and knowledgeable guide Gordon. Big thank you for making sure we weren't left behind anywhere!

As with Gordon our trip wouldn't have been as awesome without the amazing driving ...read more skills of Georgie, I am in awe!! And you did this whilst looking truly immaculate every day.

Overall the tour was amazing, well organised, great guide with great knowledge, bus driver very competent with routes felt safe at all times.

Enjoyed the optional excursions, they were well organised and well worth doing as we did every one, it added to the cultural experience and was well explained by our guide at the beginning of the tour. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would look at another Cosmos tour in the not to distant future. A big thankyou to Juliet Scott for handling the booking and any queries we had. Was an amazing experience that will remain with us for the rest of our lives.
British Ireland Bus Tour 3 , QLD, Australia, Jul 2018
Great trip to get a quick look at some places in England and Ireland. Some places I would have liked to stay longer, but it has given me a taste of what England and Ireland has to offer.
Worry free holiday 3 , NSW, Australia, Jun 2018
This is a holiday with everything taken care of. The destination, hotels, toilet breaks, luggage, etc. are well organised. Booking with Global Journeys was smooth and on time. Due to the distance covered, it was a bit tiring.
