What people love about North America Tours for Seniors
- Highlights of Route 66
The over all experience remains positiva but: the 16 nominal days of the trip where effectively one 11. This because the first and the last day, together with tho half days in between were left to us to occupy. Internet didn't work in one of the hotels where we stayed for two nights. 500 MB of internet on the coach are ridiculously few and were used up during the initial days of the tour. There was no social gathering (dinner/lunch) organized by Cosmos, even at our own expense. All in all, the impression remains positive, but the Company should address these issues, as they make the difference between "good and excellent". Luigi Politano, (almost) a happy participant to the Route 66 May 2023 trip.
- Newfoundland & Labrador
Well organized tour, but a large group of 41 slowed everything down
- Fall Colours of New England
Tour director was great lots of interesting facts and info.Very personable. Coach driver was great also. Excellent driver , very courteous and helpful.
