Wendy our tour director is not well organized. She should implement the sitting arrangement . People should not seat on the same seat. I end up sitting in the last seat of the bus for 4 days and unfortunately the toilet smells so bad and the smell made me dizzy. I complain to Wendy but nothing has been done. This is my 3rd time with Cosmos hopefully next time is not a disappointment. All the hotels are great except Fortis Hotel Malaga, I asked to be transferred because the room is dusty, with bugs, ants and smells.
