Group Vacations, European Tours and River Cruises
Travelling through Europe has given me a deep appreciation for its diversity. Portugal offered a blend of historic charm and vibrant culture—experiencing Lisbon’s narrow streets and the Algarve’s stunning coastline left a lasting impression. My time in Italy further fueled my curiosity. Exploring Rome's ancient ruins, walking through Pompeii’s frozen-in-time streets, and soaking in the Amalfi Coast’s dramatic views were unforgettable. Capri’s beauty was pure magic with its blue grotto and charming village life. Recently, a Danube River cruise added even more perspective. Passing through places like Passau, Vienna, Bratislava, and Budapest brought unique flavours, sights, and stories. Each stop offered its own captivating mix of old-world architecture, local cuisines, and stunning riverfront scenes. These experiences deepened my love for Europe’s contrasts and reminded me how much it has to offer at every turn.

Punta Cana 2025
Reviewed By Jean Major - Indian Land | Traveled to Punta Cana | Dominican Republic | Caribbean
Not sure we could have pulled this trip off without Francois. Between coordinating flights from Canada and the US and fielding multiple requests from everyone in our group (sorry Frank), he was able to book us an amazing trip. His guidance through the booking process all the way through flight check-in were a nice touch. Highly recommended!!

Scotland with COSMOS: More Than a Tour
From the very start, Frank's booking with COSMOS made the process seamless. Planning a trip can often feel overwhelming, but he took all the stress off my shoulders. Flights, accommodations, local guides, insider tips—they had everything covered so I could focus on one thing: enjoying every moment.
Every destination had its own charm, but there are a few moments I’ll never forget. Edinburgh, for one, was an absolute dream. As we strolled along the Royal Mile, surrounded by historic buildings and cobbled streets, I felt like I’d stepped back in time. And then came Edinburgh Castle. The view from the top? Worth every step.
I've traveled before, but this was my first time joining a tour group. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but COSMOS nailed every detail. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, giving us just enough structure without feeling rushed. And our guide? An absolute gem. She knew Scotland inside-out but more importantly, knew how to bring people together.
