Spain Portugal and Morocco   Thumbs Up 1 , WA, Australia, Dec 2024
Spain Portugal and Morocco December 24 to January 25 was a good tour. Saw plenty of the highlights although Portugal could have been a little longer and Morocco less. All in all a good trip.
November a good time for Italy   Thumbs Up 3 , NSW, Australia, Nov 2024
November neither too hot nor too cold and lovely autumn colours and every day different: with no “maddening crowds”. Tour guide and driver excellent - November 2024. I had extra week in Rome and discovered the amazing Church of the Holy Stairs and Church of St Peter in Chains. Don’t miss visiting church where Michael Angelo, Galileo and others buried ...read more in square where you start and end your Florence tour.
Fantastic tour through Japan   Thumbs Up 0 , NSW, Australia, Oct 2024
Booking through Global Journeys has always been a hassle free and easy process. The Cosmos tour was wonderful with the highlights being Mt Fuji, visiting Bizen and Himeji Castle and the delicious food. There is so much to see and do. We had a full day of free time in Tokyo and Kyoto and it was not enough. Japan is just a fantastic place to visit. I ...read more would like to go back again.
Wonderful Greece tour   Thumbs Up 1 , NSW, Australia, Oct 2024
To go and see the monastery wass always what I wanted to do so I’m so glad that I've done it now, Booking with Hannah makes booking so easy. She is so wonderful and efficient to deal with, not to mention very fast to respond your questions. It was a busy tour and we had 44 of us but we all got along very well, I have been on a few tours with really ...read more big in group sizes and I remember sometimes I only know the person sitting next to me but in this tour I knew more than 2/3 of group members. Everyone was so friendly. I would book another Cosmos trip again and of course I will use Hannah as my booking agent at Global Journeys. Thank you Hannah.
Fantastic Journey   Thumbs Up 1 , NSW, Australia, Sep 2024
We were absolutely happy with the bus journey, the tour leader and bus driver, the atmosphere in the bus with all the passengers eager to help and converse and the venues and accommodation It exceeded our expectations.
Eastern US & Canada   Thumbs Up 1 , NSW, Australia, Sep 2024
Sensational tour guide (Nancy), outstanding driver (Sean) and an exceptional group of people. Well organised from both ends, Aus & US. Some hotels were a little underwhelming but in saying that most were well positioned with good access to attractions, services etc. The pick up guides were well informed & passionate about their city. Big thumbs up from ...read more us. đź‘Ťđź‘Ťđź‘Ť
A great trip   Thumbs Up 0 , VIC, Australia, Sep 2024
Well planned trip loads to see and do . The Amazon was amazing and didn’t disappoint with clean accommodation in the middle of the jungle and Elvia was a great quide.
10 Day Grand tour of Switzerland.     Thumbs Up 0 , NSW, Australia, Sep 2024
Wow, we thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Cosmos. We travelled mid September and the weather was great. Packed too many winter clothes and learn't we only needed half the amount. A good thick puffer jacket was used frequently outdoors but was never freezing. Sunshine most days, so lucky.. Our stop in Gruyere was nice to see the castle and surrounds but ...read more most on bus thought the time spent at the cheese factory was wasted time. We had a great group of fellow travellers from far and wide which made the trip even better. The best accommodation was at St Moritz called The Baren Hotel. A comfy quaint hotel in a central area with bus stop out front. This is our second tour with Cosmos and were happy. Its not 5 star but if you want your money to go further to spend on extras its good enough. Sam was very helpful with our booking through Global Journeys. We would do it again. 🙂👌
