    The Tour Director Alma was very knowledgeable and had personal stories to share. Although there was a glitch in our booking, she quickly and seamlessly fixed it to make sure we got our hotel rooms along the way. Overall provided excellent service on our tour. Mesgana, our coach driver, did an amazing job in providing us with a smooth and safe bus ride. His driving skills were shown in tight turning areas, like narrow city roads and parking lots . They both worked very well as a team..

    I have been to the Canadian Rockies with another supplier, and I was so amazed with the beauty of that part of Canada so I recommended it to my clients. The itinerary for them is good, and according to them , it it became disgusting because of the tour guide they also mentioned that the entire group was not happy and very disappointed with the guide. I'm wondering now how you select your guide, and should I use Cosmos again if you provide a guide like that one that they had? I was really so ashamed especially that this is the first time that they joined a guided tour.

    Ellen

    Asked on July 26th, 2025

    Does the tour have lots of walking or climbing. I have recovered from cancer early this year and fitness level is a bit low. I'm ok walking flat good but have difficulty climbing. Just wondering if this will be suitable trip for me.

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • CosmosOperatorWritten August 2025

      I spoke with our operations team, and they confirmed that the tour does not involve a lot of climbing. The tour director described it as moderately active, with most of the walking on flat ground. There may be some gentle inclines, but overall, it should be manageable if you are comfortable with flat walking. If you have any specific concerns or need additional accommodations, please let us know and we will do our best to assist you.
