Shopping at Cosmos? See all current Cosmos discount codes and deals, checked regularly.

Cosmos sells escorted tours. Your hotels, transport between stops, a Tour Director and sightseeing with local guides are all arranged, and most trips include some meals and free time. It's part of the Globus family of brands, alongside Globus and Avalon Waterways river cruises, and its UK office is in Richmond, Surrey. Cosmos says it has more than 60 years of experience.

It suits people who want to see a lot in one trip without planning every train and hotel themselves, including solo travellers. Prices are per person in pounds, either land only or with flights from the UK included. Bookings are ATOL protected (ATOL 1082), and Cosmos is an ABTA member.
