We are delighted with Cosmos: from the quality of hotels, well planned route, comfort of the coach, pleasant personality of the tour director, coverage of key sites and choice of optional tours. The tour was curated well to have maximum engagement with minimum hassle. Will continue to plan more trips in the near future.

The trip to Peru and Equador organized by Cosmos in May 2024 will live forever in our memories. The archaeological sites for sight-seeing made it meaningful. The tour Director Maritzsa was excellent, warm, and empathetic. Her organizational skills were admirable and brilliantly efficient. Carlos, our guide in Peru was very well informed, knowledgeable and with a fantastic sense of humour which made all our sight-seeing a pleasurable experience. Carlos’s concern for us senior citizens made it possible to push ourselves with convenience at all the places he accompanied us. He was gentle, gave us time, and enough resting breaks. We could do the visits to important sites at a pace that was comfortable, not hurried. The hotels were excellent in terms of rooms and located in downtown, with easy access to eateries and shopping. Food was very good with options were given. The coach was extremely comfortable with seasoned drivers. Thank you, Cosmos, for giving us this wonderful experience. Undeniably all Cosmos trips we have taken so far have given us different and memorable experiences, but Peru was out of the world in every sense of the word.

The tour was well organised and very enjoyable. The inclusions of Bizen where pottery is made as per Japan’s traditional method was a trip back in time seeing wood fired furnaces and hand-made clay objects. The visit to the traditional village too was an insight as to how the Japanese lived in the past. In all a balanced tour with just the right sights included.

Our tour covering Denmark, Norway and Sweden with Cosmos in May was our first time with a group tour. We have not regretted our decision to go with them one bit! From offering world-class guide and coach services to having all hotels arranged, it has been one of our best experiences so far. We are a family of 3 and throughout the tour, from the check-in in the hotel, arrangement of rooms, food services to the ambience of the hotel, we were always so well taken care and offered best-in-class services. The right balance of group time versus private time on tour was a high point for us. We were able to experience the local cuisine, find places on our own and understand the countries much better. We happened to be in Norway on May 17, the constitution day!! What a city to be in to witness the revelry and parade - Bergen! That will remain a core memory!!

It would not be possible to say enough about our Tour Director, Mr. Enrique. expertise in terms of knowledge about Spain & Portugal and ability to explain on the sightseeing in both the places. He was also entertaining, fun, engaging and extremely accommodating. Five stars plus. In addition, he had a wide experience and knowledge in other areas, a constant source of conversation, information, and pleasure. Very competent, informed, helpful, knowledgeable - Excellent and well chosen! And we loved our whole tour.The range of sightseeing, weather, topography, landscape, and altitudes on our tour was immensely rewarding. The program was intense but not overly! Always something of interest, but with enough me-time. Very well planned, and the opportunity to see quite a lot of the country. Hussay was an extremely competent driver, about the best I've experienced. Thank you so very much for having arranged the magnificent trip we took!!

I had a really great experience during my travel with Cosmos to Italy. Italy is famous for Roman history which still can be felt when one sees the Roman Forum and other historical places. Most of all, the guided tour of Cosmos was good value for the money. My experience with the Cosmos tour directors was amazing. They were well-informed, very knowledgeable, friendly, and very service-oriented. We were a group of 46 people and we traveled like a family! Hotels were excellent, food was good, and the optional excursions were real must experiences.

Very satisfied with the Cosmos Splendors of Italy tour. Everything went of very smoothly. The itinerary - sites, excursions, schedule of stops, especially the smaller towns in between overnight stops were fantastic.

She had good knowledge of history and heritage and above all had a great sense of humour. The driver was also extremely efficient. The itinerary was well designed and the sights delighted me.

We completed our US NP Tours with Cosmos, successfully. The tour was very well arranged, plenty of breaks during the bus rides made us feel very comfortable. The trip was well laid, particularly the extra excursions. The Tour Director, Mr John, was very friendly and caring besides being very knowledgeable too. The tour members were also very friendly and all of us made the trip very memorable. The hotels and camping were also very well chosen with very lavish rooms and clean properties. My wife and I Cosmos for making our tour experience worth the time and costs involved.

Just to say thank you for all arrangements for our cruise to Russia. Everything, all small details were taken care of. Two senior citizens like us were very comfortable and safe at all the places we visited. I would really recommend this wonderful holiday, even to seniors and singles. Thank you once again!

An excellent 13 days spent with Cosmos touring Italy. Though I wish it could have stretched for at least 18/20 days. A varied itinerary which was full of history, food, culture, nature and FUN. A safe and excellent driver, good fellow travelers from different parts of the globe AND THE BEST TOUR DIRECTOR I've ever had the pleasure to travel with....Lorena was professional, knowledgeable, and as a person kind, helpful, thoughtful with a great sense of humour. I would recommend this wonderful tour wholeheartedly.

It’s our fourth Europe tour with your group and we love the kind of hotel, tour director and free time you get. Switzerland is the most amazing place to travel by train so the train journey was the most interesting highlight of the tour and the tour director was awesome. She was well aware of the places with lots of detailed information.

Scenic Switzerland by TrainClocking 4661 miles through 19 states and 4 time zones in 24 days while staying at 16 hotels summarizes our epic coast-to-coast US road trip, including a visit to the Canadian Niagara. The lengthy itinerary made us nervous initially. But everything went incredibly well from the moment we met Althia and Jeff, our tour guide and driver, in New York City until we had to say goodbye to them in Los Angeles. The grandeur of the canyons and the waterfalls, the opulence of the big cities, the natural diversity of the national parks, the distinctiveness of the small towns, the experiences of a wide variety of foods, the enjoyment of events and shows, and many more things had been happily crossed off our individual bucket lists in the interim. We took 19,629 photos to preserve the memories from this once-in-a-lifetime tour! Already planning our next tour with Cosmos!

We really appreciate Cosmos. We experienced the fun, the beauty and the history of Italy in without having to worry about a thing. We came home with much more than just a memorable travel experience.

Splendours of ItalyWe are extremely happy that we took this trip through Cosmos. It was a wonderful experience. Our stay was wonderful. All the hotels, as they say, were “conveniently located” and had either a bus or a train station at walking distance. Ms. Agnieszka was an excellent tour director and was always happy to help us with all our concerns.She was also very well informed about all the places we visited. Also was well-organized & well versed with our schedules, optional sightseeing’s, meal preferences etc. Both the coach and the driver – Mr. Grogeio were really good. The coach was comfortable & had Wi-Fi. And we had awesome local guides in all the 3 cities we visited. The number of things they knew & shared with us about the history, culture and food etc was immense. All in all an excellent trip. Thank you!

The tour was very good. Our tour director was fantastic. The tour director managed the tour very well and in timely manner. The itinerary was well thought of and the hotels were in strategic locations - well connected to the downtown and restaurants. Quality of hotels were also good. Our Driver was super, driving a brand new bus. I will highly recommend Indians to go through Cosmos and enjoy the international group experience.

Our trip to Ireland became truly wonderful due to the arrangements of Cosmos! The Tour Director, Mary, was a lovely, knowledgeable lady who took care of each aspect of the trip. The Tour Driver, Greg, was superb with his driving skills. The hotels were great and well-located—giving us easy access to the local market areas and pubs. This was our first ever group tour experience and I must say that it far exceeded our expectations.

The Cosmos tour of Morocco was an absolutely fun filled, informative trip. We have traveled with Cosmos/Globus a number of times before & this trip too did not disappoint. Our fabulous tour director Graham kept us fully informed at all points and was always available to help out. We also had an extremely good coach driver, who always had a ready smile. The tour itself was quite comprehensive, with adequate coverage in various cities. The hotels/food/local guides were also good. We are looking forward to our next trip with Cosmos/Globus.

COSMOS Highlights of Morocco This was my fourth venture with Cosmos. A great applause for our Tour Director John Shaw. Overall the transportation was great (new phone charging facilities added on the bus). Accommodations all very good, except at Fez. Vegetarian food was limiting. But the outstanding part of this most memorial tour was without a doubt our tour director JOHN SHAW. He was passionate, knowledgeable, extremely competent and honestly cared about all of his clients. It would not have been the same trip without him. Not forgetting to mention the small gesture of the Sangria and introducing us to Tapas. He went beyond and above his duties to keep us entertained. With a special person like him to represent you Cosmos will always be a winner with me.

I had traveled with Cosmos to the Canadian Rockies and Alaska Cruise in 2015 and it was a marvelous experience. This time too, Cosmos not only lived up to my expectations but surpassed them. The itinerary was very well planned and we actually had an "in-depth" tour of Britain and Ireland - a real feel of the culture, the history and legends, opportunities to taste the local cuisine and, of course, experience, at leisure, the spectacular landscape of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales.There were many tour highlights like Driving along the Wild Atlantic coast of Ireland, listening to our Tour Director, Tara, telling us stories of Glencoe and The Culloden battle in Scotland and so many other stories and legends. She is an awesome storyteller. had fish and chips at the little picturesque town of Ullapool, on the Atlantic coast of west Scotland and delicious Irish Stew at a stopover in Northern Ireland.There's plenty... Climbing the basalt steps at Giant's Causeway, N. Ireland. Almost getting blown away on the sea beach at Tramore, Ireland. Drinking soup straight from a bowl and eating with hands, while listening to traditional Irish songs at the banquet at Bunratty Castle, Ireland. Having cream tea at Stradford on Avon after visiting Shakespeare's birthplace. Going for a Ghost Tour at Edinburgh and much more.

Britain & IrelandOur recent COSMOS trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe was smooth, hassle free and at a leisurely pace that suited us perfectly. We met people from four continents, Europe, Australia, USA and India: a wonderful experience that 18 unknown people from 4 continents met on the fifth continent for a tour and had great fun. The stay and sights of Cape Town were well balanced. It was a heady feeling to be at the southernmost tip of Africa at Cape Point and at the Cape of Good Hope. Robben island visit made us come out in admiration of Mandela. The hotels were neat and tidy with good food. The Shiduli Lodge at Hoedspruit was an unparalleled treasure. We got to see wild-life, Game as it is called in SA, at extremely close quarters. A pride of Lions, one male, two female and two cubs, lunching on a freshly hunted Giraffe or a Cheetah lunching on a freshly hunted impala raised goosebumps. We got to see all the big 5 as they are called, Lion, Buffalo, Giraffe, Rhino and Elephant. The huge Victoria Falls was extremely awe inspiring, an experience like no other! All in all, a wonderful experience!
