Great customer service (Global Journeys)   , VIC, Australia, Sep 2024
I booked an Intrepid tour of the Shetlands via Global Journeys. Sam at Global was excellent to deal with. There were a number of issues with Intrepid and Sam worked really hard to try to resolve them. The Shetland tour itself was excellent (although the fitness rating is way off, much higher level of fitness required than stated). The guide Doug, made ...read more the tour. I wouldn’t use Intrepid again because of the problems myself and others on the tour experienced, however I would definitely use Global Journeys again. Five stars for Global & three for Shetland tour (lost stars due to issues with Intrepid).

I thoroughly enjoyed my tour with Cosmos and travelling solo. The itinerary was fantastic and I visited some wonderful places and towns. I saw some amazing things and overall had sufficient time to take in the most important sites. Very pleased with the accommodation used throughout the tour and great English breakfasts, with occasional dinners included. ...read more Cosmos, was very efficient and highly organised and I opted for all the optional excursions. This was an enjoyable holiday experience. Travelling at the time of the Edinburgh Military Tattoo and seeing this was fantastic and can finally tick off my bucket list of attending the military tattoo. The tour guide, Charlotte , and our bus driver, Pedro, were both excellent. We rotated by 4 spots each day given each a turn at front middle and back of coach. The weather was perfect with only 1 day of rain occurring, rest of days were sunny and windy.

I would like to thank Georgie for handling my booking and being very quick in communication via email, the documents arriving in plenty of time. Highly recommended Global Journeys and highly recommended this tour to see the highlights of UK so you can return to spend more time in areas you liked the most.
Scotland's Shetland Islands   , VIC, Australia, Aug 2024
A great holiday although the sleeping pods on the Ferry were not ideal, prefer cabins for such an overnight trip. In addition we were unable to access our accommodation till 2pm which meant a lot of outdoor walking following a lousy night sleep on that first day. Some of the hikes were challenging, should probably be rated 3 out of 5 in terms of ...read more effort rather than the advertised 2.
Great highlights tour   , NSW, Australia, May 2024
I booked the Backroads Highlights of Britain tour for my 21 year old daughter, who was travelling by herself overseas for the first time. Our Global Journeys rep, Tracey, advised me that most of the people on the tour would be older, and this was good to know so I could discuss this with my daughter. Made aware of the fact, she was still happy to do ...read more the tour as it was a small group tour and went to all of the places in the UK that she wanted to see, and we had heard good things about Backroads tours. The tour leader was probably in her late 20s or early 30s, which definitely helped my daughter to fit in, and she really enjoyed the tour. The other tour group members were very welcoming and friendly, accommodation and food was fabulous and she was blessed with the weather golds, so she enjoyed it immensely. I would definitely use Global Journeys again.
