What people love about Canada Tours for Seniors
- Majestic Rockies
The tour was well balanced with free time and planned activities. It covered a wide range of experiences and met/exceeded our expectations. Jennifer was a well organised guide. She worked hard in the back ground and ensured we were in the right place at the right time and with almost exclusive viewing of the sights and sounds we came to see. She worked well with the group, encouraging us along the way and showing sights that were special to her as a local. Her planning skills are immense and well honed. Todd Leslie (our driver) handled the coach expertly. He also made sure our cases were in our rooms quickly and picked up promptly. All went like clockwork. The accomodation was generally very good. Only one or two smelled stale or were only at OK standard. However, they were generally well placed and of a suitable standard. Breakfasts were good and kept us going for a few hours, as we enjoyed a wide range of foods.
- The Canadian Rockies
A truly amazing and once in a lifetime experience! The tour director Tarek could not have been more organised or personable. Everything ran smoothly and we didn’t have to think or worry about a thing! Neal the driver was of the utmost professionalism. A brilliant driver and true gentlemen. Cosmos should be proud of these two incredible ambassadors for their company. The accommodation was top notch and the frequent stops and the free days really helped us enjoy the experience at our own pace. The only suggestion would be to spend more time in the Rockies rather than go to Victoria, although Victoria was beautiful. This tour is definitely a great way to see the Rockies. Thank you Tarek and Neal!
- Iconic Rockies and Western Canada
Everything exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide Ben was a delight. Full of fun and added more than was necessary to make sure we were fully informed and enjoying ourselves.
