    This was a great tour, but a bit too much when your old (like 77). We saw a lot of highlights, and realized we travelled a lot of milage, but it was tiring. All in all, we got our money worth out of the tourn. The tour director was excellent and was able to keep nearly 50 old people on schedule and motivated. He always answered questions about the tour agenda and anything else you could think of. Hotels, for the most part were very good, with the last couple of hotels excellent.

    Overall, it was an ok trip. Our driver was awesome and friendly. Our tour director was knowledgeable and also friendly. My past bus trip excursions (different companies) picked up our bags and delivered to and from our room and bus. Here were were responsible for our bags from the bus to our room and back to the bus. We weren't allowed to eat anything on the bus except hard candy. Only bottled water was allowed (no sodas). Every day we had to move seats 2 rows so that everyone had a chance to meet other people and have a different view which I liked. Our group had 47 people in it (every seat was full). Would have like a smaller group.

    Hotels were not that good. Tour Director was too greedy and rough. Bus did not have phone power jacks and Bus WIFI sucks. Bus driver was excellent.

    We had way too many times when we had too little time to enjoy places. I know the tour was called highlights but many of us will never return.

    My husband and I felt that the group was too big and the tour a bit rushed. The guide and driver, however, did a great job despite this.

    Not enough free time. Provided dinner and extra dinner was not good. And most of the hotel rooms were not so nice

    The itinerary was good, at time not enough time to see things. Cosmos booked hotel too far away after finishing the sight for the day. Our tour guide was lovely. Her accent a little to hard to understand, little hard to hear her in the bus, she tired hard to answer all questions.

    I had expected more from this tour for the price paid. Hotels were not to a standard you'd expect for this price, many with no air conditioning and those that did, didn't work properly. I would not recommend this tour. Only that the tour guide and driver were excellent at their jobs, this rating would be a lot worse.

    Tour was excellent but location of hotels was generally poor, leaving no options to eat out , even if provided as part of tour as hotel food was always similar in all hotels and generally of poor quality.
