    Great guide and bus driver. Doesn't include food or baggage handling, but is also cheaper than others. Need name tags and water on the bus. We all had to buy our own water so you cannot use the excuse of extra garbage in the land fill. A case of water is really cheap and would go a long way in making Cosmos look good.

    Great value for the money. Cosmos does not include food, unless provided by the hotel, and does not include baggage handling. But, they are cheaper than others.
