What travelers are saying

"We've taken over 10 group tours using Cosmos and Gate1. This trip last month, 9000 was not very good. -During booking, incorrect information was given about airport-hotel transfers -The whispers (listening devices) didn't work from the get-go, so no whispers were used during the 13 day trip. - Porters are no longer hired to bring your luggage to and from your room. (Very elderly had to handle their own luggage. Our friends had to help many of them.) -A few days into the trip one couple left. At the end of the trip we found out they had covid. Cosmos did not let us know; a few people weren't feeling well and two of our friends then tested positive. -One hotel was awful and not even up to "budget" standards -Many of the stops had castles, churches... but were not included, so be sure to count that in when pricing.  don't plan to use Cosmos ever again. Gate1 is the best in my opinion. When my husband's passport was stolen, they assigned someone to go with him to the embassy, translate, etc...It was above and beyond what we expected  "

British Columbia Tour Selection Trips

  • You can combine a tour of British Columbia with a cruise through Alaska’s adjoining Inside Passage
  • Much of British Columbia is wilderness; if you’re looking to get away from it all near the U.S., this is the place
  • British Columbia geography can be a bit confusing, consisting of the mainland (home to the city of Vancouver) and nearby Vancouver Island, home to the provincial capital, Victoria
  • Even if you’re primarily interested in outdoor adventure, you aren’t likely to regret a visit to the city of Vancouver, which incorporates nature into its fabric
  • Peak season for whale-watching is May-October
