    Sandy was a great leader on our trip! I also loved the mix of group activities and time on our own to do things. The only thing I wasn’t a fan of was when we went to Fiji at the end. We did not know who was picking us up from the airport so we had to call the resort to find out it was Rosie holiday. Our resort we stayed at in fiji was quite run down and while the people were great and they tried hard to keep it clean there’s only so much they can do. Our units ac was not working properly and there was black mold in the bathroom ceiling. The food was mediocre. We had 4 in our group needing airport transfer the past day in the morning and 4 in the afternoon and Rosie holiday had that super messed up. It was very aggravating and upsetting for the person in our group that was trying to talk to them. They kept transferring her to different people and she was really upset. All in all it was a great tour though and I would definitely use TourRadar and cosmos again.
