- AMarissa· October 11th, 2023We had a great time on our Cosmos Trip. We started the trip out on our own a few days before we met up with the tour. I booked a room at the same place that we would be staying with Cosmos so we could take our own tour of Little Italy and also the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island which Cosmos does not go to. We also ended our trip staying a few nights in Old Town Virginia on our own so I could visit with my nephew who is in the Air force and go on a tour inside the Capital in DC which Cosmos does not do. They only drive by it but we did go to the Lincoln Memorial, Martin Luther King Memorial, the Vietnam Memorial, the Korean Memorial with the Cosmos tour group. All were very touching to see. We did get to see some fun things with the Cosmos tour but you are left to do much on your own which I like. We did a tour of Central Park on our own and walked the Brooklyn Bridge where we had lunch in Brooklyn. We also went inside 9/11 museum on our own and went to the Neil Diamond Broadway show which was down a side street of Time Square. We did get to see the Hall of Congress, Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell and run up the "Rocky" Stairs in Philadelphia with the Cosmos group. We also were able to go on the boat ride next to Niagara Falls with the Cosmos group. That was amazing and fun at the same time.So there are things that you do with the group and lots of free time for you to do the things that are important to you. I would definitely go again. Another plus is meeting other tour members from all over the world. Thank you Cosmos!Show moreTrip date: September 2023Review collected by Cosmos

Asked on May 5th, 2022I'm looking for a tour for Niagara Falls departing from New York City. The trip was planned around November, 19th 2022. Is there any tour dates near that date? Also in the tour description, it was said that we are going to cross the border to Ontario. Are we crossing the US border to Canada? Should we apply for a visa, then?
- CosmosOperator•Written May 2022
Unfortunately, we do not have any tours that include Niagara Falls that operate in November. The end in October and then start back up in the spring of 2023.

Douglas
Asked on October 1st, 2016What is the minimum age requirement for this tour?
- CosmosOperator•Written October 2016
The minimum age for a person to join a group bus tour is 5 years old. The reason behind this policy by the different operators is mainly the tight schedule of these tours, plus the long rides, which makes it usually difficult for younger children to be able to follow and in the end enjoy the tour.

- CosmosOperator•Written July 2016
