Can you let me know if any spots open for this tour in August - we will take a spot if someone cancels. Is there waitlist?

Our August dates have cancelled. We only have our September 2, 2023 departure date that is guaranteed to depart.

We are contemplating a guided tour of the USA, in 2023. Our group may consist up to 40 persons. This is going to be our first ever tour, and none of us is expert in the group tours of the USA. We need to learn the nuts and bolts of the group tours. I am sure their are a lot of requirements and regulations such as the US and visa, etc. Group vs Private. price include all travel costs within the US, meals and hotel rooms.

To customize the group and have a private coach with all meals included the cost will increase approximately 25% - 30%. If you would like a sole coach for your group, this can be quoted through normal channels. Also, we are within the 180 days required for individual deposits for customized tour. Should you decide to customize the group deposits with names will be due immediately.

This tour was amazing and exceeded expectations! Our Cosmos guide, Kip, was awesome, as were our guides for all included and optional tours (Alaska railroad, Doggoneit Kennel Visit, Denali wilderness tour, Prince William sound boat ride, etc). All of the cities visited were awesome and all of the stops in between were so well planned with great scenery/views and opportunity to stretch and explore. Although the lack of a detailed itinerary (with times, durations, etc) prior to the trip bothered my OCD planner self, I could not have imagined a more perfect tour of interior Alaska! Our family of 4 loved every minute of this Alaskan Adventure!
