Health and Safety Protocols for Cosmos Tours

To that end, Cosmos has established a worldwide Assurance program, with enhanced on-trip protocols and procedures, to ensure the health – and happiness – of guests throughout their travels with us.
It all starts with Cosmos' Global Health & Safety Team, dedicated to ensuring that cleanliness of all operations exceeds today’s travel standards—from start to finish. The following areas address Cosmos' commitment to providing a safe and clean environment for guests.
A SAFE & WARM WELCOMECosmos will enact new tour check-in procedures and pre-trip health screenings to offer guests a safe start to their journey, including adherence to social distancing requirements.
BLENDING CULTURAL PROXIMITY WITH SOCIAL DISTANCECosmos will ensure safe distances for guests throughout the journey, on coach and during excursions. This includes providing masks for guests use at any time where social proximity could be an issue as well as the possibility of reducing group sizes, if required. And wireless listening technology – including Cosmos' Go Beyond Devices in Europe – enables safe distances between guests and other travelers on excursions.
FOCUS ON GUEST AND TEAM MEMBER HEALTHTo ensure a healthy environment for team and guests, Cosmos will conduct regular temperature checks for both guests and team, and when necessary, masks will be worn by Cosmos' team members when with guests.

Cosmos are further reducing risk with hands-free service, meaning all self-services replaced by staff, including buffet meals replaced with table service. Cosmos will also ensure hand sanitizing is available throughout each trip, on coach and in hotels.
COMMITMENT TO CLEANAs a part of Cosmos' commitment to clean, Cosmos is requiring enhanced cleaning procedures with hotel partners, on motorcoaches, vehicles and throughout every trip, including additional daily disinfecting procedures that go above-and-beyond already strict health and safety procedures.
PARTNERS IN DISCOVERY AND IN HEALTHCosmos has strict health and safety protocols, which have been in place for years, focused on ensuring all aspects of operation- from vehicles and equipment used on trip to excursions and hotel procedures. This process will continue with new, elevated health and safety checks, to maintain their promise that each touch-point on tours and cruises are considered in their commitment to guest and team member well-being.

Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
As a comment to the room situation, we had excellent accommodations The Only Exception was the night that we spent in Sparta. That hotel was substandard. For instance the door knob to the bathroom was completely broken. The night table was missing the front of the drawer literally. The patio door did not lock at all. The view was not great at all unless you like looking at back alleys and transport trucks. And then the power went off for several hours. There were no backup smoke detectors or lighting. So we spent a couple hours in the lobby just to make sure that there wasn't really a fire. Anyhow I also commented the same way on the cosmos survey we gave to our guide :-) otherwise everything was 100%
loved our trip with cosmos. Some accommodations could use improvement but overall was satisfied.
This tour was close to perfection! A bit strenuous at times but worth it for the places visited and the knowledge shared by our personal guide who is by far the best tour guide many of us have ever had. She went the extra mile to make sure everything was in order for all of us. No one was disappointed with our guide and this tour!
