- TTeela· September 1st, 2025I dont give this one star lightly but i to be honest. This trip is not about music and does not include Hammond. Unfortunately the tour guide was not well and made some poor choices resulting in us not having a guide for three days. I have tried a number of times reaching out to cosmos and tour radar. To this day no one has reached out to see if we are okay or to offer an apology. Im sorry but i cannot recommend this tour or Cosmos. So much more went wrong but i just wanted something documented for people who maybe deciding on this tour.Show moreTrip date: June 2025
