    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.

    Our tour director, Cheryl, and our driver, Roy, were both excellent! We didn't appreciate the short notice about the changes in our itinerary. We understand why the changes were made, but for whatever reason, we weren't notified in a timely manner.

    We had a great time. The tour was well organised and extremely informative. It made travelling through the rockies so easy and hassle free. The itinerary had alot of flexibility which was great. It would have been great to do a great to know you activity or something on the first day to help break the ice and development relationships with our fellow travellers quicker or perhaps a meal early in the itinerary to help bond the group quicker! A wonderful trip with loads of memories!

    The tour was great! Verdrana was our tour director and she was so knowledgeable of the areas we visited. She was also so considerate of each of us and our differing needs (e.g., providing adequate stops; knowing when to give added information vs letting us rest; organising rooms to be closer for people who were unable to mobilize as well etc) on the trip which was an added touch! Peter our tour driver was great and always drove with good precaution and safety. The whole itinerary was honestly organised so well and my husband and I very much enjoyed our honeymoon through Canada as a result:) If I were to give one piece of feedback about how the itinerary could be improved; the location of our Calgary hotel was not ideal as it felt very unsafe to leave the hotel once it was dark.
