Hit the road on these touring adventures!
MAYBE it’s time to hit the h road d on a transAmerican odyssey, sail on fabulous Scandinavian fjords, explore the kasbahs of Morocco or scour southern Italy and sample some of the world’s finest cooking.
Whatever your passion, an escorted tour can take you there — and lavish you with life-enhancing sights and experiences. But to get the best from your holiday, it’s important to travel on a tour designed by experts, that goes beyond the ordinary.
Handpicked guides
COSMOS, a family-owned company with more than 50 years’ experience, offers more escorted tours in North America and Europe than any other operator. For 2018, it has put together an incredible new selection — and handpicked the best guides and tour directors to bring your holiday to life and add that important human touch, wherever you go.
The tour directors have warm, friendly natures, in-depth knowledge of the places you’ll visit, and are on hand every step of the way with commentary entirely in English.
And there’s no better way to get to the heart of a place and its people than by way of a local introduction. The guides are friendly and fascinating people who’ll guide the way and bring you closer to the essence of their culture.
Authentic experiences
THESE expertly designed tours have some incredible authentic experiences woven into them. It’s humbling to be invited to a slightly more intimate display of cultural traditions and treasures, or watch a local artisan with unique skills.
From expert chefs to dancers, musicians and even elephant keepers, you’ll meet some unforgettable characters.
On an escorted tour you’ll also meet like-minded people and experience must-see sights, with free time to explore on your own or on optional excursions. You’ll stay in comfortable, conveniently located hotels. With flights, hotels and transfers all included, you can rest assured that all the details are taken care of and, importantly, that your holiday is ABTA and ATOL protected.
Plus, there’s the option of small group and single centre tours, and a choice of pace to suit.
With Cosmos, you’ll even be picked up at home and whisked to your departure point (within 50 miles) in a private, air-conditioned car and returned home again.
Plus, you can fly from one of up to 27 regional airports, selecting the flight time and airline that suit you best.
Add an extension, or an upgrade. With a flexible Cosmos escorted tour you can follow your heart, not just a fixed itinerary!
Price promise
THE Cosmos price promise means that you’ll pay the lowest price available on the day. Unlike many tour companies, Cosmos accesses flight availability in real time, so savings are passed straight into your pocket.
There are no hidden costs, such as surcharges. If you change your plans, you can transfer to a different holiday up to the point where your balance is due, without an amendment fee.
And if you need to cancel, you won’t lose your deposit. Just use it to re-book another tour within 12 months.
Like a well-packed suitcase, as many inclusions as possible are squeezed into your holiday price.
And if you find a cheaper like-for-like tour from another company, Cosmos will match the price and give you a £100 discount when you book.
