    The Director needs to have a knowledge of what we were visiting. Her English skills were not good at all.

    We just finished The Best of Italy Cosmos tour and it was wonderful! Our tour guide Kristina was amazing; from morning to evening she was ensuring that everyone was taken care of and the myriad of details that go into an epic adventure like this were covered. She was patient, thorough and kind with our wonderful group of 40+ folks from all corners of the world. Our coach driver Manuela was also excellent. The driver is critical to the success of this tour because of the narrow and curvy streets and tight timelines and she was always in control and command. She made everyone feel safe and in good hands as we circled Italy. Together with the great service we experienced so many things it was almost surreal. The scenery, cities and history were right out of a fairytale. When finishing the tour you are left with a sense of truly having seen the best of Italy!

    We saw an amazing amount of Italy. Far more than we would have on our own. Our guide was experienced and very knowledgeable. She had a great sense of humour and kept people on track with the timetable without being authoritarian. The pace was challenging. Lots of early starts. Some of the hotels were not very good. The first one in Rome had numerous things broken in the room and the hotel was far too far away from anything. The second was terrible-no air con and staff were rude and unhelpful. The rest were good.

    Our guide, Andrea Boldrini was wonderful - friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and supportive. Destinations were fabulous, and ticked many bucket list destinations. Hotels were mostly very good to excellent. There was one exception to this - the Oly - it was dreadful, and I have huge concerns about safety.
