  • D

    Diana

    Asked on May 15th, 2025

    Can I cancel out the stay in London, and just go to the other places?

    Tour Details
    • CosmosOperatorWritten May 2025

      We do not offer this tour without the London stops. If you choose to book this tour and not participate in the London activities, this will not decrease the cost of the tour.

  • E

    Elizabeth

    Asked on May 2nd, 2025

    Can you give me tour dates for September 2026, and also what is the pricing for a solo traveler? What is the single supplement charge or do you have room shares?

    Price / Availability
    Single supplement
    • CosmosOperatorWritten May 2025

      We have departures scheduled for September 7, 2026, September 14, 2026, September 21, 2026 and September 28, 2026. The Single Supplement fee will be an additional $830 USD. We no longer allow room sharing for any of our tours.

  • J

    Jon

    Asked on March 2nd, 2025

    Is it possible to do a small group tour for our party of 9? We like this itinerary but our travel dates conflict by one day. We are arriving in London July 12 and departing July 25.

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • CosmosOperatorWritten March 2025

      We will be able to accommodate your party of 9 in 3 double rooms and one triple room. Being that your travel party will be arriving on July 12, 2025, we can add up to two additional nights to your bookings at the rate of $181 USD per person per night for the double rooms and $157 USD per person per night for the triple room. The tour will end in London after breakfast, if you are needing to leave a day early, you will be able to. You should return to London in the afternoon of Day 12 roughly around 3 PM, so you will have to book late flights out of London.

  • A

    Ahmed

    Asked on March 2nd, 2025

    How many days of "time at leisure" would we have out of the 13 days, to do something on our own, without the group? Which specific days of the trip would those be? Any other limitations on the days off from the group, that I should know about?

    Tour Details
    • CosmosOperatorWritten March 2025

      You will have the full day of free time on Day 2, an evening of free time on Day 4 and Day 5. There may be some possibility to have some additional free time on other days. That will depend on if there are any delays. This tour is mostly a guided tour.
