Testimonials
- " Excellent! Made more special by the outstanding efforts of the tour guide Karolien and the quality of the driver, Franco. Varied itinerary covering and wide range of cities as comfortably as possible in the time. Karolien had the talent of making the individuals on the tour into a group very quickly which added to the enjoyment. I would go on any other tour that Karolien was involved in. "

For more information on this tour: COSMOPOLITAN EUROPE - " Thank you Cosmos. Having recently returned from the 21 day Grand European tour, I would like to say it was the most fabulous experience. Everything about the trip, one which I had been trying to take for a very long time, exceeded my expectations on all levels. The coach was very comfortable, the mix of people friendly, interesting and hotels varied.
The beautiful scenery, the history of the world in 21 days, things we do not see here in Australia except on TV, came to life.
Our Tour Director Sylvia from the Netherlands, was great - her sense of humour and camaraderie, fit in really well with us Aussies. She also has a vast knowledge of all the places we visited and was eager to answer any questions asked. The other local guides included, enhanced our experience with knowledge and detail we would not have known if we did not have the local guide.
Andre our coach driver, was a Maestro. Who knew you could fit a coach in so many little streets or parking places with such ease.
For trip of a lifetime which this was, you need to experience everything you can in the time allotted, which includes taking advantage of the optional tours, as we saw and experienced more people, places, food and fun.
Thank you for a very Grand European experience of a lifetime. I cannot say what the highlight was as each day provided more amazing sights, sounds, vistas and experiences. "

My husband, Warwick & I had an absolutely magic time, particularly in Italy & Switzerland, but actually loved all of it! Our Tour Director Erik was wonderful as was also our Driver Enzo. Two very hard-working blokes! I am now a veteran of 4 Cosmos Tours (1st tour taken in 1993) & can thoroughly recommend them to everyone for quality and great value for money. I''m already planning to go on their 13 day tour of Spain & Portugal for September 2010. "

For more information on this tour: EUROPEAN MASTERPIECE - " I have recently returned from Canada and Alaska where I have experienced my best holiday to date. Our Tour Guide Darcy Hamilton was outstanding in all aspects of our tour. It was the ideal time of the year to do this tour and liked the idea of starting with the coach, then the train and finally the cruise. I cannot imagine doing this tour in reverse as we had time to get to know our fellow travellers in the first 10 days on the coach and when we separated into the Red Leaf V''s Gold Leaf on the train it made no difference to the friendships we had already made on the coach.
The idea of starting with the coach which can be hectic with the early starts to then relaxing on the train and total relaxation on the cruise was definatley the better order of travel. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone. "
H Elliot, NSW - " A huge thank you to Cosmos for making my first overseas tour such a memorable experience. Our tour director, Stefano, was always friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable on all the places we visited. Rocco, our coach driver, kept the bus spotless, always had a helping hand ready when disembarking the bus and at no time did I feel nervous when he was driving (no mean feat as I''m a nervous passenger when in someone else's vehicle). We had a small tour group of only 29 (all Aussies bar 1 very friendly Kiwi) which left plenty of window seats for the many photographers. Ages on tour ranged from 24-71 and everyone got on so well with one another it was like being part of a large family. I had such a great time I will definitely book with Cosmos when ready to tour again and will recommend Cosmos to anyone looking to tour overseas. Please pass on my thanks to Stefano and Rocco for an excellent job.

For more information on this tour: EUROPEAN MASTERPIECE - " In April 2009 my wife and I enjoyed the European Masterpiece second time around. After enjoying the tour in 2006 so much - and we all know you can't have too much of a good thing.
Tour Director Daniela and Driver Rocco used their professional skills to guide and care for us. We had many laughs, enjoyed many happy returns to previously seen locations and also appreciated the individual style that each Tour Director adds to the tour enjoyment. Daniela said that she realised that this trip may be the only one that some may enjoy in this location and was doing what she could to assist everyone''s enjoyment - it sure showed. We also went on all the available Optional Tours, as from experience we know these are great value events.
On day three my wife turned to me and said, “You know I could do this tour again” and I immediately agreed.

For more information on this tour: EUROPEAN MASTERPIECE - " This was my first overseas trip and it was awesome! I had a fantastic time, met some lovely people and visited places I had only ever dreamed about. Our tour guide Salvatore was the best - so knowledgeable and friendly. Michele, our driver, was also fantastic. Some of the places he took that bus - goat tracks at best - yet I always felt safe with him. I will be heading overseas again in the near future and will of course choose Cosmos. It was great to know that everything was organised for us - all we had to do was enjoy ourselves.
Thanks for making my first overseas trip such an enjoyable and memorable one. "

Michael''s professionalism, knowledge and genuine care and concern for his clients made this tour extra special. I have travelled with Cosmos on six previous occasions and once with Globus. I cannot recommend the company highly enough. Each tour has proven to be an experience to be remembered. "
