Recent Reviews What our clients are saying about their USA East Coast journeys
I have travelled with Cosmos on a number of occasions, and they have never disappointed until this tour. The Tour Director was not good. He gave scant commentary, and very little detail on the history of the places we were visiting. He seemed to be more interested in talking about himself, and telling stupid jokes, that only he laughed at. I also thought ...read more there was way too much 'free time' on this tour. Some free time is nice, but not hours every day. Considering the cost of the tour, there were not enough meals provided. As a result, I am unable to give the tour a good rating.
The tour was really disappointing. The tour Director was nice enough but it felt that he had done it all too many times with tired and dated jokes, played videos rather than engaging fellow travellers. There were no group gatherings prior to the tour start, no name tags - we all just loaded onto the coachload of strangers. We were days into the tour ...read more and there were people on the coach that I hadn't seen before! Breakfast was included at most hotels which were quite adequate. A dinner included at the beginning in particular would be nice. The optional dinner at the end was expensive and only average quality - certainly not worth US$75. We expected group seating but it was individual tables of four mostly with little interaction.
In Philadelphia, we were all disappointed that tickets (free) needed to arrange a visit to Independence Hall were all allocated the day before. Most of us were keen to see this. We felt that Cosmos or Tour Director could have arranged tickets for us so that we didn't miss out. It was from this point on that many of the people we spoke to shared their disappointment with the tour. Some of the hotels, particularly Washington were quite a distance from food options. At times the Tour Director wasn't aware of where we could obtain food. Most of the hotels had no restaraunts attached. Overall I would not recommend this tour. I have also expressed my opinion directly with Cosmos.

We have just returned from a fantastic Trafalgar tour of the east coast of USA and Canada. We had a terrific time! The itinerary was pretty packed, but we still had plenty of time to ourselves to explore, and never felt pressured to hurry along. There was a great mixture of things to see and do and plenty of rest breaks. October was a great time ...read more of year to visit Canada with all of the autumn colours. The tour guide we had was marvellous. She was enthusiastic, friendly, fun, knowledgeable, and would help out in any way she could. She made a good trip even better. Global Journeys did a great job booking the tour, including a great price, and gave some great advice and information about flights, extra days, visas etc. We highly recommend them to all of our friends.
Costsaver is a budget option, that has pros and cons. Rooms were good, a few were out of town, but that was not an issue for me. The itinerary could be shortened by a couple of days, as the coach wastes time in many comfort stops with excessive down time. The itinerary could be reviewed as hours in tourist stops could be consolidated and make for a ...read more better experience. So many fudge and ice cream shops! Not having food provided, suited me and gave me flexibility for more simple meals. Fall foliage was late in 2024, so our early trip had about 30% colour which was still amazing, it is nature after all. Our Costsaver Fall foliage tour director was a disappointment, boring, lazy and generally grumpy to the guests. He should be retrained in customer service. Overall I would rate the Costsaver Fall Foliage tour of 21st September 2024 a 3 rating out of 5.
