What our clients are saying about their journeys through Southern USA
Great tour for music lovers Rhythms of the Road , Australia, May 2025
Our 2nd trip with Cosmos tours. The tour had many music highlights of entertainment and history. Included tours and many optional tours as well to make the trip special. There was time allowed to explore on you own which was great. The hotels were of a good standard and always close to the entertainment and eateries for your own leisure time. Which read more is helpful when meals aren't included. Our bus driver was excellent and got us to each destination very safely. I would recommend Cosmos if you were looking for a stress-free holiday.
Terrific Music Tour Rhythms of the Road , SA, Australia, May 2025
Cosmos put on a great trip through the middle of the USA, taking in all the music spots along the way. We enjoyed Memphis/ Beale Street, lots of lively bars and perfect weather for being outdoors. Nashville was also a great spot, Broadway having many rooftop bars. This stop could have done with more time as there was the Country Music Hall of Fame, read more Johnny Cash's museum and Broadway with all its rooftop bars and loads of entertainment. Not enough time to see it all. New Orleans was a great spot to, we spent extra time there after the tour finished. Our hotels were good, adequate and the one in New Orleans was very close to Bourbon St in the French Quarters. The choice of optional excursions was pretty good to, all in all well done to Cosmos. Also a well done to Georgie Walpole from Global Journeys who has helped us out with a couple of Cosmos Tours now.
