What people love about Mediterranean Tours for Seniors
- Scenic Slovenia & Croatia
I really liked the tour. The guides and tour director were excellent . Accommodation is first rate. The only issue I had was not spending sufficient time at Plitivice National Park . It is a huge park and we spent just 2 hrs. Would have been great if we had one complete day. Also the hotels we got had very few to none veggie options . The coach that was arranged had no WiFi. It would be great if cosmos could do something about these issues
- Iberian Explorer
Our guide and driver were experts in every aspect of our trip. They made the excursion enjoyable, interesting and fun.
- Spain, Portugal & Morocco
A real busy trip if you take all the excursions you really better be prepared to be going all day. I would never travel in a group of 44 again, just to many personalities get involved, I would expect for Julian it was a nightmare. The trip itself was as I say great and my USB brain can only take so much and it was in overload trying to see everything and absorb it. The meals were OK some I wish i didn't try mainly in Morocco there were I would say 10 that had dysentery the last 3 days and it was I believe from one of our last dinner in Morocco. Spain and Portugal was amazing. I have gone on many trips, but if it wasn't for the guide I would say miss this trip
