Cosmos Norwegian Fjords tour 8 August 2026 0
Norwegian Fjords
John and Christina , VIC, Australia, Aug 2026
This Cosmos tour was most enjoyable. The Tour guide and bus driver both ensured the tour went smoothly. The hotels and provided meals were of a high standard. The pace of the tour was reasonable considering the distances covered each day. Norway itself is a most interesting country and our tour guide gave us a lot of information as we toured each day. read more Tourists need to prepare for changeable weather throughout the tour. Norway has a 25% GST so things are very expensive and that is another thing you need to prepare for.
Oslo is a city for tourists and we recommend 2 or 3 days would be worthwhile prior to the tour. The towns and scenery visited was good throughout the trip but became exceptional from Bergen onwards. One challenge in touring in Norway is the short tourist season through summer results in the large ships disgorging huge tourist numbers into small Fjord towns. This is one advantage of coach touring as this problem can to some degree be avoided, but it probably should be expected. It can be a problem in Flam. Another strange problem is that despite Norway's absurd wealth, and despite the fact that they make a lot of money from tourism, they have very few public toilet facilities. This to some degree determines where the tour buses must go. To me it seems a lack of respect for tourists.

I really enjoyed this tour and what made it great was 2 nights in each city. I also loved that it was not a jam packed itinerary each day so there was plenty of free time to explore. The tour director was very knowledgeable and the hotels very comfortable. The first hotel in Toronto was perfectly located and had all the amenities except for a laundry read more which was a little disappointing as I had already travelled prior to joining the tour. I would have liked breakfast included but thats a small thing. I would travel with Cosmos again.
Exploring the best of the Kimberleys with APT 0
Essence of the Kimberley
Di, VIC , Australia, Aug 2026
After a rocky start due to poor communication between APT and Cable Beach resort, we met our APT tour guide/coach driver, Scotty who proceeded to exceed our expectations in his leadership and infectious enthusiasm for the Kimberley region. Travelling in APT’s go anywhere, very comfortable, coach made the long distances over often corrugated dirt roads read more and through river beds well worthwhile. The Bungle Bungles, El Questro Homestead, (a wonderful upgrade option), hikes through Emma Gorge, Tunnel Cave, Bell Gorge and Galvan Gorge were spectacular whilst the Ord River Cruise was well worthwhile. Our privately arranged Sea plane flight, with luxury overnight stay, to the Horizontal Falls ended our adventure on a fantastic note. A final note for APT is to take responsibility for arranging all meal options throughout the trip, and ensure the guests have a proper introduction to each other on the night prior to our departure, so all guests are provided with the same level of service they expect from APT.
Incredible experience of a lifetime 0
Jewels of the Rhine & Glacier Express
Tiali and Jeanne-Marie, QLD, Australia, Aug 2026
We had the privilege of experiencing a most magnificent tour on the Jewels of the Rhine & Glacier express holiday package. It is a holiday of pure luxury under the care of brilliant staff who were extremely organized, well trained, and very friendly with an attention to every detail. From the 5 star accommodation (on and off the boat), to the incredible read more food served by top chefs - this is an experience that will bless you greatly.
I did enjoy this tour as a solo traveller. It was a very small group of both British and Australian people. There wasn’t a lot of extensive bus travel which we all appreciated. However there was a lot of free time and apart from breakfast there are no meals annd few excursions included. You can expect to spend at least $50 on a meal and one drink. read more I did expect these countries to be a cheaper but they were not. The hotels are typical tourist hotels, but they were always in close proximity to the highlights. Breakfast was always excellent. The rooms were small and basic. Many of the participants on this tour, had done several trips with this company.
August 2026 cruise good with food crew and entertainment good. Weather not so warm as anticipated. Strong winds caused by pass of ports in Tonga and Dravuni Islamd but Mystery Island instead. Cabin comfortable although twin beds not ideal for us. Too small. Hannah at Global Journeys provided great customer service. Best location on ship for cabin recommend read more mid ship closer to restaurants and activities. We booked aft area so lots of walking.
Had a fantastic time. Our drivers for both the Kenya and Tanzania portion were very knowledgeable. They answered our many questions and were patient with our many pictures. Both our drivers were respectful of the animals and were careful not to get too close. Our setup crew had everything up and ready when we hit camp. If anything needed fixing they read more did it quickly. The chefs tried to work around everyone's different food sensitivities.
Wonders of Cambodia, Vietnam & the Mekong 0
Wonders of Cambodia, Vietnam & the Mekong
Rod and Joan, VIC, Australia, Jul 2026
The trip went exceedingly well. Tracey did a brilliant job despite our requiring Premium Economy and despite Singapore Airlines changing the flights. The three days each side of the cruise went well although for two people in their mid 80s the walking combined with the temperature and humidity was a bit much. Were we to book again we would ensure that read more whilst we are reasonably fit we would not embark on such a strenuous journey at such a hot time of year. We would certainly book with you again.
Was a great Alaskan Cruise trip with siblings. Had wonderful weather. Lots of exceptional onboard talent and events to choose from.
Great Game Drive Experience in Kenya & Tanzania 0
Wildlife of Kenya & Tanzania: Nakuru to Serengeti
Lily, NSW, Australia, Jul 2026
Great experience to see all wildlife in nature. All CEOs & drivers are excellent. We saw massive wildebeest, many herds of zebras, gazelles, antelopes, baboons & giraffes, and the iconic "Big Five", plus cheetahs, hyenas, white rhinos, hippos and crocodiles. The only issue was the game drive vehicle in Tanzania was more crowded than in Kenya. Thanks read more Grace for taking care of our booking, answering our questions promptly.
