    I think some of hotels need to be renewed .. definitely needs a new hotel in New Orleans. The dinner excursions were not up to standards and over priced. The guide was ok but we had a hard time understanding him ….. overall we have had better tours in the past. Cosmos was the 2nd time we used them and it will probably be the last

    Great guide and bus driver. Doesn't include food or baggage handling, but is also cheaper than others. Need name tags and water on the bus. We all had to buy our own water so you cannot use the excuse of extra garbage in the land fill. A case of water is really cheap and would go a long way in making Cosmos look good.

    Great value for the money. Cosmos does not include food, unless provided by the hotel, and does not include baggage handling. But, they are cheaper than others.
