Reply #13: We are actually going to Venice and other places on a Cosmos tour in May

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

We have been on two Cosmos tours and have LOVED the experience. The first time we did "The Best of Britain" and the second "European Jewels." This time our tour is "Focus on Italy and Paris" and is similar to the "Jewels" one, with the addition of Rome, Capri and Pompeii.

We met so many wonderful people of all ages and from all over the world. The tour directors were extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and we were given ample time (for the most part) to see the best parts of various cities. We would highly highly recommend it.

We went to Britain right after 9/11 and were the only Americans on the tour, as everyone else had canceled due to fear, I guess. We went on the other tour in November 2005, which was too cold - the Piazza in Florence was absolutely FREEZING and windy. Now we're going from May 10th-26th, which should be a much better time.

I'm told to NOT go in July and August - way too many people going on holiday then.

Here's their website if you want to take a look:
