What people love about Mediterranean Tours for Seniors
- Scenic Slovenia & Croatia
An excellent trip. Tour guide and driver were both outstanding. The provided walking tours were well done. Certainly a fast paced tour and it would be nice to shift some of the times longer for some of the attractions and shorter for others. Seeing Sarajevo left a lasting impression and the walking tour was great but this is a city that could be visited in a day and does not need an overnight stay. For example, more time at the national park (Plitvice) would have been better time spent. The rest of the program was well put together considering how many miles we traveled. Our guide knew exactly when to take bathroom breaks and knows his history (thanks, Oakie).
- Iberian Explorer
The participants were friendly. Travel Director Jorge was excellent. I just want to be cleared next time of optional tour
- Spain, Portugal & Morocco
Transportation great, accommodations all very good, food was exceptional , countries of Spain. Portugal,and Morocco, breathtaking and a photographers dream which I am, but the most outstanding part of this most memorial tour was with out a doubt our tour director JOHN SHAW. He was passionate , knowledgeable,extremely ,competent in his duties, and honestly cared about all of his clients. It would not have been the same trip with out him. Genuine compliments to the person in your company that hired him. Reluctant to go on another tour, without John, for there surely would be a void, when you know you had the best it's hard to settle for less. I give him a standing ovation. It is because of him that I have told and will continue to tell friends about Cosmos, a company is nothing ,without the people behind it,and with a special person like him to represent you Cosmos will always be a winner with me.
