Cosmos Reviews

Donald Gordon Maclure

Brazil, Argentina & Chile Unveiled with Peru

  • | 15-Dec-2025

I booked the trip in March 2025 after some relatively minor queries with Tourhub staff. Since then I was well informed about the itinerary and payment details and due dates. All went very well with the overall tour operator - Cosmos. As known from the start, I had to carefully select the appropriate airline transportation from a local UK airport to and from South America; this caused no problems for me. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip, and found all aspects of the travel plan were seemlessly met and complied with. In addition, those excursions that were pre-selected by me were of a very good standard, bar one in Santiago, which was not the fault of the organisers and will be reviewed to ensure future btravellers do not suffer the consequences. That issue did not affect the overall satisfaction with the whole trip. On occasions we were all amazed to be the beneficiaries of unexpected extra treats which more than compensated for the previously mentioned hiccup. I would have no hesitation in recommending Tourhub (Cosmos) on the basis of my trip and the overall experience. A wonderful 3 weeks with many adventures and memories which will last with me.

Gorman, our Tour Director & Andrea, our bus driver are the best! For hotel selections, wish you select those located in the cities so easy to sight see!

This tour was fantastic. It is very fast paced and you only get a tiny taste of the areas you see, but that is so you have to come back. Tourhub/Cosmos put together a excellent team to guided us around. Ally was caring, funny and has so much history to share. She made our trip worth the time. Julian is a master driver and hard working person. He also helped make our trip wonderful. Graham and Jan

We have just returned from a Cosmos tour- Gourmet Tuscany. We stayed in Montecatini Terme and traveled from there to many wonderful places, in towns and the fabulous Tuscan countryside. We visit Vineyards for wine tastings, farms for cooking lessons and lunches and dinners in authentic Italian restaurants. All assisted by a friendly, informative tour director. First class holiday

Excellent in every respect

I recently did a 2-week "best of Italy" tour with this company. Our guide, Daniella, was fantastic, the itinerary was excellent and they catered for my rather difficult dietary requirements really well. Really happy and will certainly book with them again
