Winter Wonderland tour through Germany, Austria and Switzerland Elizabeth and Daniel, NSW, Australia, Dec 2024
Booked through Global journeys for our Insight Vacation Tour and did not disappoint. GJ were so helpful with answering questions and helping get us organised. The tour with Insight was a winter wonderland snapshot. It snowed and the scenery and experiences were magical. The accommodation was excellent. We made friends with other people on the tour. ...read more Lots of experiences to cherish.
This tour of Germany was absolutely delightful. The tour included a great variety of interesting historical sites and quaint, picturesque fairy tale towns. Thought Rothenburg ob der Tauber and Heidelberg were particularly special. The schedule was full as there were so many wonderful places to visit but did not feel rushed. Carl our Travel Director ...read more was outstanding! Highly professional, responsive, organised, knowledgeable and attentive to our every need. He ensured everything ran smoothly and was clearly explained ahead of time. Johann our driver also did a great job.
On most mornings, we departed the hotel at 8am which was perfect - not too early to wake up and also meant we arrived at the sites before the crowds. Regular and well-timed rest stops were also beneficial. Most hotels were located right in the centre of town so we were able to explore and have dinner in the town without having to worry about catching public transport or a taxi into town. All hotels included a full buffet breakfast. Coach was spacious and had free wifi and sockets to charge our mobile phones. Recommend doing this tour if you want to explore a variety of Germany towns and regions.

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. 🙂👌
Cosmos as usual offered a comprehensive circuit of Germany featuring impressive major cities, historic villages and countryside. Lots of walking was needed which enabled a sound appreciation of the sights. Early rises and punctual departures maximised our sightseeing. Kristina the tour guide was always pleasant and well organised. G our driver was totally ...read more professional. Highlights were Berlin, Dresden and Bavaria -we were in awe of post war re-construction. Thanks to Georgie Walpole for the effective booking arrangements. Highly recommended.
