This is my 3rd vacation with Cosmo's, This tour was too much in too little time! I realize you want to attract your customers, but at the same time you also need to realize that when we book these trips we hope to see where we are visiting, most disappointing part of the trip was Paris, we had 1 hour to walk around!! and it was in the low end of Paris, the sites are beautiful, but with little time time to enjoy it, our bus diver paplo was amazing, i felt very safe with him at all times, not being able to use the bathroom on the bus is not morally right, most of us on this tour are in our 60's so we just don,t drink because our bladder cant hold for 2 hrs or more!! Luigi our tour guide not the best i have ever had, many people complained on the first day!! to him.. London hotel and breakfast was very good, then it went down from there, we pay enough that we should have decent rooms, and a decent breakfast. unfortunately, i will not be booking with Cosmos any more, I will look another tour company that offers higher standards, also i booked my flight with cosmos as well, i was delayed at Ottawa for over 2 hrs , then had to catch a later flight to London, and off course there is no compensation, very disappointed..

Everything went well
Everything went well, as planned. The tour guides were knowledgeable and helpful, the hotels and staff were all responsive. Hotels were well-guarded and safe. Good healthy food for a vegetarian, and travel companions were fun. Saw lots of scenery and thousands of animals!

Exemplary customer service
We’re great fans of Cosmos tours which are outstanding value for money in terms of quality and service. Sadly we had to cancel our latest planned tour’Golden West Adventure’ for unforeseen health reasons. However Cosmos have been most understanding and will hold our £400 deposit against a future booking for 1 year in case we can take the trip later this year or next year. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Reply from Cosmos
Thank you for taking the time to post this review, we appreciate your feedback and are truly delighted to learn that we were able to exceed your expectations. We look forward to hosting you on your trip when the time is right for you
The tour was a trip of a lifetime.
The tour was seamless, wonderful knowledgeable tour guides, on time flights and great hotels. Only issue was we booked tour 1108, which had Brazil Amazon, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Peru with Machu Picchu. We were under the impression this was a complete tour package and were dismayed to find out our pre paid tip did not cover Peru. I’m not sure how this could be considered an extension when it was listed as part of the tour.

Important information for Fiji and New Zealand
I did the trip for my wife and grandchildren. My wife enjoyed the visit very much. We got information on penguins from our trip to Napier's Maritime Museum. I( toured NZ more comprehensively over 25 years ago. Auckland, Christchurch, Rotorua, and Lake Tekapo and Queenstown have changed over that time period. Milford Sound has not, which is a good thing. Fiji, the people were quite friendly but the group of island are 3rd world with little chance of becoming a developing nation. In Fiji you need to bring water tables or drink bottle water; New Zealand has one of the highest water qualities in the world. If you eat a good hearty breakfast, one more meal at dinner is adequate. Also enjoy the lamb - something we do not get to have that much in the United States.

One of our best holidays
One of our best holidays. The tour was a seamless informative, pleasurable, layback adventure. We saw so many places in such a short while. The hotels were all unique, well placed to achieve everything in the time available. Providing a cosy bed, restaurants, shower facilities provided by friendly staff. Booking was easy, the Gocosmos App helpful but more important a brilliant tour guide and drivers.

Deep South Tour
Deep South Tour Great time on this busy tour of Deep South USA. High points include Chicago, Nashville, Gracelands, and New Orleans. Professional service provided by Tour Director Susannah, and coach driver Leo. Great way to fit in sightseeing and origins of modern musical influences in short period of time.

Great Ocean Road and kangaroo Island
Our tour guide and bus driver made the trip top notch. Our driver had years of experience to add to our tour. Kangaroo Island needs another day and more experiences included. There are parts of the island we didn't get to see because of time constraints. A wildlife sanctuary experience is a must for foreign travelers. We missed seeing kangaroo.

Great from start to finish, would use again
Jennifer Hennequant helped my mom and me plan our first trip together to Italy. We really appreciated all of the guidance and honesty Jennifer provided. It felt great to know we weren't fending for ourselves for any of it, whether we wanted advice on booking things ourselves or asking her go from A to Z with it. On our trip, our guide Gianpaolo was just perfect. He was knowledgeable and very kind. The provisions from Cosmos overall were amazing, and we would definitely use them again.

I Absolutely loved our tour guide
I Absolutely loved our tour guide, she made the whole trip that much more enjoyable. The tour bus driver was also the best. Bother were cordial, respectful and made sure everyone's needs wee met. Their knowledge of where we went help make the tour that much more pleasant. Hotels were very good, not great. Hotels in Madrid, Barcelona were exceptionally good, but the hotel in Venice --- not as nice. The destinations were perfect, although I would have loved more time at smaller towns. I do understand timing is everything, thus short period at smaller towns was hard. Breakfasts were amazing. Although some dinners were provided, they were not as good.

Good tour bad hotels
Pros: Great guide - Stefano was very knowledgeable and funny. Explained everything well. Local guides - both guides for excluded and paid excursion were great. On-time execution - Everything worked like a clock. Cons: Crappy hotels - all the hotels were old and rooms were tiny. Food - All included dinners were disgusting. Breakfast was good.

Italy's Best
The trip was very well organized and our tour guide, Gabriele, was fantastic. Our rooms at each hotel were nice and breakfast's were good. The only disappointment was not going into the Roman Coliseum, or having enough time to go up the Leaning Tower of Pisa. I would recommend this trip to anyone.

Great historic journey
Great opportunity to learn so much about our nation’s history. Actually seeing places where important events took place is the best and most interesting way to learn. Our guide did a great job of informing us and helping us get the most from this historic journey. Cosmos did a good job of planning what we were to see and do to give us the opportunity to learn more of our nation’s history.

Cosmos travel experience
We loved how organized and professional the tour and its employees were. The fact that everything was organized for us allowed us to see and do more than if we had gone on our own. There was no worry about where we were going and how we were going to get there. In addition, the information and expertise of the tour guide was welcomed and appreciated. We got to learn intricate details of Italian culture which was so helpful and helped us have more of an authentic travel experience.

Fantastic Canadian Rockies tour
I took the Canadian Rockies, with Alaska Cruise tour, and I couldn't recommend it highly enough. The Canadian leg in particular ran seamlessly, and most of the credit for that must go to Caterina (our tour guide) who constantly went out of her way to aim not just for customer satisfaction, but customer delight. I hope I'm lucky enough to meet Caterina again further down the line on a future (as yet unplanned) trip to Canada 🇨🇦. Also a special mention for Neil our driver.....so professional, safe, and courteous throughout 😊

Super Team: Andrew and Jerry
Tour Director, “Andrew,” and Bus Driver, “Jerry,” make an incredible team that results in the ultimate touring experience. They are caring, patient, and the “best of the best” in their respective roles. Andrew made the long bus drives a joy by providing fluent, interesting dialogue, interspersed with music and videos. Jerry made the journey smooth in a spotless, comfortable bus. They went out of their way to make this an amazing experience.

Sicily 7 day tour
Sicily 7 day tour. Palermo hotel good location but very noisy. The hotels in Marsala and Agrigento were in awful locations, not possible to go for evening stroll. Meals included basically because there was nowhere nearby and the quality of the food provided very poor. The whole trip was saved when we arrived at hotel Kalos in Giardini Naxos, beautiful location and hotel.

( Buzz Album Cover — download HERE )
What eventually became Buzz , the third studio album by singer-songwriter and globally-renowned star NIKI, started with an urgent quake from the innermost core of her being. What surfaced in its wake was a collection of warm, stirring folk-rock songs, which crackle and flare like a bonfire between close confidantes. “I went through an identity crisis,” says the 25-year-old of Buzz . “It took a lot of trial and error, and I just stumbled upon pieces of myself along the way. I named it Buzz because it feels like I’m on the precipice of something about to happen.”
For NIKI, things have been happening progressively since she was a high schooler in Jakarta, Indonesia. As a student at an international academy, she cut her teeth scribbling lovesick poems in English class and performed acoustic guitar covers of American pop songs on YouTube. With a six-string in hand, and her family and classmates cheering her on from the audience, Nicole Zefanya then staked her claim to global stardom as NIKI.
And claim it she has – with over three billion streams worldwide , sold out shows on multiple continents, massive sets at festivals across the globe, front row seats at Paris Fashion Week, four songs on a Marvel film’s soundtrack, and some of the most phenomenal, confessional songs being released in 2024, NIKI has already established a veteran’s resume before the age of 25.
On Buzz , her songwriting remains as intimate as ever. In her initial sketches of songs for Buzz , NIKI took cues from other lane-paving women with confessional, honest lyricism soundtracked by guitars. “Joni Mitchell is my songwriting north star,” she says — and uncompromising feminist luminaries like Stevie Nicks, Carly Simon and Liz Phair. To match the wandering spirit of Buzz , NIKI cultivated her own elastic approach to guitar.
To further harness this creative and personal sea change, NIKI began enlisting producers who had worked with her favorite contemporary singer-songwriters. She tapped Tyler Chester, who’d captured tracks with Madison Cunningham and Sara Bareilles; she also recruited Ethan Gruska, who counts Fiona Apple and Phoebe Bridgers as collaborators.
Buzz reverberates with the hard-earned wisdom of a young woman who charges dauntlessly towards her dreams — but can still spare a laugh if she stumbles.
