Very lovely & amazing trip

Very lovely & amazing trip, so much to see. Some confusion on direction at times. A bit crowded at rest area stops at times. Very nice clean bus & great driver with terrific wifi. Very physical trip, but highly recommended once in a lifetime trip.

An Amazing Trip of Grace

My 1st visit to the Holy Land was filled with spectacular sights and information, and a once in a life time exposure to the Middle East culture. The Tour Directors were so knowledgeable, and took care of us from beginning to end. Globus was exceptionally helpful by the grace of God, to ensure our continued safety and quick return home when the trip was unfortunately interrupted by the outbreak of war.

The footsteps of Apostle Paul -2023…

This was our first time going on a structured guided tour and Globus did a great job. The tour packed a lot into the 10 days and we are greatful o have been able to do it. However, we learned that this type of travel is not for us going forward. Things are too hectic and theres not enough down time.

Great tour guide and bus driver.

Our guide and bus driver are professional, caring and knowledgeable. I don’t like the hotel in Milan, needs a lot of room renovation, especially the bathroom and front desk staff are rude and has attitude. Tour is great. Hotel in Rome is quite a distant from subway station and room is very minimal.

Port, Spain, France

Overall, trip was very good. Guide and Coach Driver were excellent! Saw many places we may have otherwise missed.

The trip was a bit fast paced. Some additional free time away from the tight schedule of the tour, would be nice.

Walking for some of the elderly guests in our group was a bit much. This fact may have been overlooked by the travelers. Or, maybe if the Cosmos Literature would be more intense in conveying this fact, would also help. These are in fact, more difficult tours for those with health, excessive walking or disability issues.

Following the Footsteps of Paul

Accommodations and ship size an issue.

Tour itself and the guides were great/outstanding. Globus should have provided more background information (links, YouTube), for review on Greek and Turkish history (Guides shared a bit).

The "Shrines of Italy" trip was the…

The "Shrines of Italy" trip was the very best, we've ever been on! It was more than what we could have imagined or expected. Cosmos was a big part in that. Excellent guide; Lorena. Bus was comfortable and driver drove safely. Our group enjoyed each other's company. Got to see so much beauty in Italy! Highly, highly recommend!

Be aware: No porter service and you will be denied access to the bus should you develop Covid

This company no longer provides porter service so you are responsible for managing your bag throughout the tour. Unfortunately our group did not know about this change in policy until we arrived at our first destination. Many participants who were single travelers and those with health and mobility issues would not have signed up with this company had we known that they had discontinued this service.

Secondly, some of us did not know that if you develop Covid symptoms, you will be asked to test and if the test is positive, you will be denied access on the bus. An older single, injured participant on our tour was denied access to the bus upon agreeing to take a Coved test and testing positive. She was left behind at that stop, in a foreign country where she did not speak the language, and was responsible for making her own way from that point on. (Some assistance was provided with booking some aspects of the alternative travel elements). Upon learning that this single, older, injured and sick participant would be left alone to navigate the complicated alternative travel (that included trains, planes and taxis), offered to stay behind to accompany her and ensure that she arrived safely at her destination. This was extremely stressful (especially while sick) and she would not have managed without the assistance of this fellow tour participant who kindly gave up her tour days to help. Because she did not have Covid related insurance, she had to pay for the the extras costs for herself and her traveling companion. Be sure that your travel insurance includes trip interruption and/or isolation for Covid! And, be sure that, if you are single, that you travel with a companion who is prepared to stay behind with you in the event of a medical emergency, whether that is Covid or otherwise, because you will be left behind - alone.

We later learned that other travelers who were aware of this Covid policy simply advised that the practice amongst travelers is to NOT identify if they develop Covid symptoms and to NOT test. It became rather obvious in subsequent days that other travelers had symptoms yet they continued to board the bus and participate in tour activities, unmasked. By the end of the tour and within 24 hours of landing home, the majority of the 40 tour participants developed Covid. Which draws into question the purpose of denying access to the bus for the one honest participant and in fact, to the efficacy of the policy/protocol at all.

Since there are no requirements for Covid testing to travel by public bus, train or air, I recommend that Cosmos also remove this policy/protocol. Alternatively, the company should have a protocol for assisting the traveler that they leave behind instead of simply abandoning them.
