Well run tour but a bit bare in terms of itinerary. Some of the accommodation was not central. Nice tour guide and people on the trip.

Amazing Classic Japan: Land of the rising Sun tour with Cosmos 1 Pene and Peter, QLD, Australia, Jul 2024
I can truly say that this tour was amazing and a perfect length of time. We booked from Cairns Australia to Haneda, Tokyo.
The tour was extremely well organised and ran like clock work. We had a small group of only 12 people and we all got along really well. Our tour guide Naoko-san said this was the smallest group she had ever had. We felt really ...read more lucky as she said some groups can have around 30 people. Every day ran exactly to the itinerary, the Hotel rooms were small but not an issue as we were delighted to return to the room every evening for a clean bed and hot shower. The included meals were of a very high quality and morning breakfast buffets were really fantastic and great value. The cooking of Okonomiyaki, Japanese savoury pancake in Hiroshima was also a definite highlight!
Rachael from Global Journeys booked our tour and she was also really fantastic and replied to emails and phone calls without delay. All of the destinations included in this tour were certainly all of the must see locations to get a comprehensive feel of Japan. From country areas, to large cities of Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto to the more mountainous regions of Fuji san and the lovely canals of Kurashiki. The Tea Ceremony was very serene and traditional and we really enjoyed the experience.
Our tour guide Naoko-san was also very lovely and kind and she tried her very best every day to make sure everyone was happy and enjoying the tour. If you are thinking of booking this tour, from our experience, I would recommend to anyone who would like to experience the most interesting and beautiful landmarks in Japan :)

As I had never been to Scandinavia before this tour was a great way to visit the major cities in the three countries of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. It shows you enough to decide if you want to go back again or have seen enough. Everything ran to schedule and I felt confidence in our driver and tour manager. A great starting point for Scandinavia.
I can't say enough about the majestic scenery I've seen. Incredibly beautiful. Our guide Tarek had 26 years of experience to guide us through our journey and was a wealth of knowledge with other activities not included in the tour. On the whole, accommodation was clean and comfortable while being in the 3 star range. The Rocky Mountaineer was also a ...read more terrific starter to the entire trip. I rate this as a must do experience for couples, groups or solo travellers.
An amazing tour of Ireland with a wonderful tour leader Bob. He was just so knowledgeable of every aspect of Irish culture, history and geography. Our 8 day tour crammed in so many highlights and although every day was full of new sights we never felt rushed. The hotels were of a reasonable standard (3 to 4 star) and mainly in very convenient locations. ...read more Fellow tour members were very friendly and everyone seemed to get on well. Thoroughly recommended if you want to see Ireland’s highlights without the hassle of driving.
This was the 4th and last Cosmos tour we did on our 9 week sojourn of Europe this year and Norway didn't disappoint. The scenery was stunning! The tour was easily paced with coach, ferries and trains all used to transport you around this beautiful country. The hotels used were all of high quality and located close to town. The optional tours are a must ...read more to complement the overall tour experience, but the included Flam Railway return trip both up and down the valley was outstanding. Norway isn't the cheapest European country, but there are ways and means to try and stick to a budget. eg buy some easy meals and drinks in the supermarkets instead of restaurants. We would definitely consult with Tracey at Global Journeys for more Cosmos tours in the future as this trip went off without any issues and the professionalism, speed of reply and friendliness shown by Tracey was greatly appreciated.
The 12 day tour was wonderful and the best way to see the highlights of the Southwest in a short space of time. Thoroughly enjoyed The Grand Canyon and Yosemite. We would definitely recommend travelling with Cosmos and booking with Global Journeys.
