“Wonderful, scenic experience”
- WA, Australia Jun 2018 3 Helpful Votes

Fantastic trip. We saw amazing scenery in both Alaska and Canada, walked on a glacier and through a canyon, spotted bears and whales in their natural environment, visited unexpected places and had an overall wonderful experience. Whole trip was extremely well organised and everything worked out as it should, including the great weather we were lucky enough get.

“Holiday of a lifetime”
- QLD, Australia May 2017 6 Helpful Votes View Photo

My husband and I booked our Canada and Alaska tour through Global Journeys and it was absolutely the best holiday we've ever had.

“A excellent tour company both for content and value”
- Australia Jul 2014 2 Helpful Votes

We had an amazing time. Every thing was very well organised. Tour guide was excellent. Driver did an amazing job too. Their experience working together really showed as they made an excellent team. Fellow travellers were a great group of friendly people. We all got along really well. We were very lucky with the weather too. I would and we have already recommended Trafalgar to people as a really excellent tour company both for content and value.

“The overall trip was excellent”
- Australia Jul 2014 3 Helpful Votes

The overall trip was excellent. My wife, daughter and I enjoyed every minute of it. Our tour guide Jess was lovely, she had everything running very smoothly. People turned up on time to get on the coach with no late comers which was good. The food and accommodation was excellent.
