    Our tour director, Cheryl, and our driver, Roy, were both excellent! We didn't appreciate the short notice about the changes in our itinerary. We understand why the changes were made, but for whatever reason, we weren't notified in a timely manner.

    We had a great time. The tour was well organised and extremely informative. It made travelling through the rockies so easy and hassle free. The itinerary had alot of flexibility which was great. It would have been great to do a great to know you activity or something on the first day to help break the ice and development relationships with our fellow travellers quicker or perhaps a meal early in the itinerary to help bond the group quicker! A wonderful trip with loads of memories!

    We absolutely loved Vedrana. Her passion and knowledge for all things Canada was what made the tour so fantastic. We will definitely be looking at travelling with Cosmos again.

    The tour was great! Verdrana was our tour director and she was so knowledgeable of the areas we visited. She was also so considerate of each of us and our differing needs (e.g., providing adequate stops; knowing when to give added information vs letting us rest; organising rooms to be closer for people who were unable to mobilize as well etc) on the trip which was an added touch! Peter our tour driver was great and always drove with good precaution and safety. The whole itinerary was honestly organised so well and my husband and I very much enjoyed our honeymoon through Canada as a result:) If I were to give one piece of feedback about how the itinerary could be improved; the location of our Calgary hotel was not ideal as it felt very unsafe to leave the hotel once it was dark.

    Well organised, full of beautiful sights. We felt in safe hands. Hectic schedule with early starts were understandable but not for the faint hearted or the incapacitated.
