Asked on May 24th, 2022Is domestic RT airfare included in price?
- CosmosOperator•Written May 2022
The tour cost does not include airfare. We can quote air for you but the departure of August 26, 2023 is too far out to be able to look at air. The departure must be within 331 days from tour start date. Once we are within that, we can quote air for you.

Traveler•Written May 2022What will the cancellation policy be should she not be able to travel? Will there be airport transfers? Is pre accommodation available? If so for how much? Is there a minimum number of travellers for this tour to run?
- CosmosOperator•Written May 2022
Unfortunately there are no departures operating in 2022. There are June, July, August and September departures in 2023. The initial deposit amount is non-refundable and non-transferable. Cancellation fees begin at 20% 45-days prior to the tour departure date. Cosmos do not offer airport transfers in North America. Passengers will need to make their own way. Pre and post tour accommodation is offered. The cost and availability will depend on the tour departure date. As the 2023 departures are not yet guaranteed to operate, there are a minimum number of bookings needed in order for a departure to become guaranteed.

Asked on March 15th, 2022Wanted to ask about meals in between. I am planing this tour for my parents. They don't eat meat so I wanted to check what are the options for them to eat within the whole tour sop I can see those restaurants menu and search a little bit according to their preferences.
- CosmosOperator•Written March 2022
Unfortunately, we are not operating this tour in 2022. It will start back up in 2023. We offer different meal options, which would include a no meat option. For meals they eat on their own, they can choose where to eat based on their preferences. The Tour Director will be able to give them suggestions.

Asked on March 14th, 2022I have limited mobility. How long would one be expected to walk each day.
- CosmosOperator•Written March 2022
Unfortunately, this tour is no longer operating in 2022. It is starting back up in June of 2023. There is quite a bit of walking on this tour. The walking can be at a slower pace, and there will be places where you can rest along the way. Our coaches have a few steps up. Depending on your mobility issues, we would need to know if you are able to walk short distances, get on/off motor coaches, and up/down stairs.

While TourRadar specialises in helping you book the best tours from around the world, the tours we offer don't include airfare, as travellers can join any of the trips from many different countries. We have a helpful place to search flight prices and book your own flights. We recommend you don't book your airfare until your place on the tour is confirmed in full!
