The tour was well planned and conducted. The Tour Director. was very nice, cooperative and had a wealth of knowledge of the places through which we passed, where we stayed and where we visited. The Tour Driver, was very helpful during the tour. The places we visited were unique and there were lot of history behind them.
Cosmos provided a great tour director which made for a great tour! Sights and stops were well planned as was the itinerary> . It was nice to have 2 nights in most places as this reduced pressure for packing.
The Cosmos Canadian Rockies tour was very good. While it was basic (most places we wanted to visit, we had to either book an excursion or arrange it ourselves), the price also reflected that fact. All in all, the tour was very good and we saw a very beautiful country. Our tour director, Sharon and our drive JP were awesome!
The trip was wonderful and great value for the money.
I wish that the breakfast and a few more excursions would have been included in the trip at a small additional cost.
The tour was planned perfectly, and Tour Director was knowledgeable. Thanks!
I enjoyed this trip very much. I got to see a lot of beautiful mountains. I like the guarantee share room from Cosmos. It really cuts down on the costs.
