    We had a wonderful time! My only feedback would be to include more detail about how physically taxing this tour is. It was a lot harder than I was expecting.

    Flawless arrangement of transportation, hotel, dining, tours. Didn't have a single problem in either area. Blown away with tour director's knowledge and thoroughness.

    Tour guide and driver were great. Sights were breathtaking. I have difficulty walking hills and steps. They went above and beyond to include me. I did take Wednesday as a free day also and after lunch on Tuesday. Just couldn't do the walk.

    The tour was excellent but I took an extra free day. The walking, steps,stairs, hills were a little too much. Our guide and driver went above and beyond to try to ease the stress of the walking.

    The itinerary was fantastic! Everything ran very smoothly, but when slight modifications were needed, our guide handled them brilliantly. Our driver (Omar) was amazing and our tour guide (Yaron) was the absolute BEST!

    I have already recommended Cosmos to 2 of my friends. Yaron was our tour guide in Israel. He had such a passion for his Jewish people and his country of Israel that was contagious to all in our tour. Yaron had a tremdous knowledge of the history of the land, and he had an introspection of the military presence in Israel that made the history come to life. Yaron went out of his way to get a birthday cake for Julie, since it was her birthday. Yaron did so many kind things during our trip that showed he was passionate about his job and desiring for everyone to come back and visit his beautiful, warm country. Thank you Yaron for your tireless energy and wonderful caring for our group. Karen Benson lost30047@yahoo.com

      Is the tour guaranteed for departure for this date? Can I also confirm if we have one tour guide and stay with the same group of people the whole time? Which hotels will you be using?

      The departure date of the 5th May is showing as guaranteed. You would have the services of a tour director who will be with you the whole time, alongside the same party on the coach. We use the Leonardo Art in Tel Aviv and the Shalom in Jerusalem.

    Alexis

    Asked on September 7th, 2022

    Would it be ok to arrive late in the evening after dinner and miss the introductory talk, as I cannot find affordable flights which arrive before 11pm? Is it possible to book twin beds and not a double bed for my daughter and myself?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • CosmosOperatorWritten September 2022

      It would be fine to arrive later in the evening and make your own way to the hotel on arrival although there would be no discount for missing the dinner. The Tour Director would leave instructions for the following morning at reception for you so you know where to meet and what time on the following morning. And we can certainly request twin beds for you, this will not be a problem.

  • L

    Asked on June 8th, 2022

    Do you have slow paced tours for seniors?

And if you need to rest, you can work with the Tour Director and they will advise of a good place to rest and meet up with the group.
