    I love our tour director Patricia. Though we have many challenges we encountered during our trip she handled it very well with a positive attitude. We learned a lot from Patricia during the tour. Her wealth of knowledge about each places we visited to were so great and a lot of it. I am very well pleased that she's our guide. I love her enthusiasm and passion on what she does. Cosmos is very blessed to have her.

    The trip was well planned and our tour guide was so knowledgeable. Honestly she made the trip what it was because of her knowledge of the places we were visiting, her preplanning and anticipating saved us time, and her kindness always allowed me to feel safe. Our driver was also amazing I was blown away at how smooth our coach rides were even on very narrow streets. I never sleep on buses like that but I did many times on that one and I think it was because he did such an amazing job.
