If you are looking for the features of a guided tour but want free time to explore each destination you visit independently, you will love the new Cosmos Lite itineraries.
On a Cosmos Lite holiday your city to city transportation, comfortable accommodation and daily breakfasts are all organised. You have a Tour Director on hand to orientate you to each destination and provide guidance along the way. Most importantly, your days are your own to explore as you please and at your own pace.
Your Tour Director will offer that local knowledge for dining and entertainment. Once booked, download the CosmosGO App for insider knowledge, flight schedules, hotel/transfer details, daily itineraries, as well as suggestions for restaurants, entertainment, and sightseeing on tour. If you are interested in optional excursions you can view and book these through your Cosmos ‘My Account’ before you travel.
Offering you a blank canvas upon which to plan your own time in each destination, the Cosmos Lite tours offer the perfect combination of a touring itinerary complete with the pre-planned essentials you expect from a traditional tour but the freedom for you to plan your day your way!
