Milagros M. | Traveled in July
Everything was perfect!! Out your guide was great… We would definitely book with you again in our future trips..
Mary S. | Traveled in July
This trip is aptly titled. It was truly the contrasts of Switzerland. Incredible mountain scenery, urban cities, farms and farmers. Excellent!
Anonymous | Traveled in July
Many spectacular sights and experiences, such as the cable cars up to the Klein Matterhorn and Stanserhorn -- unforgettable! Lovely cruise on Lake Lucern, though the day was hot. The train rides were comfortable, but we missed the Interlaken region because of a broken-down train -- not Trafalgar's fault at all. Inspiring though brief visit outside the former League of Nations building, now the Palace of Peace. The conclusion was a fun evening at the Swiss Chalet supper club, with Swiss food, songs, yodels, mountain horns -- and a conga line. All in all, a great taste of Switzerland!

Disappointed that the optional excursions were changed and we had not received prior notification of the changes. In Geneva we had a drive by to kill time before our luggage arrived and only dinner at a restaurant. Would have enjoyed the Geneva Lake cruise as previously described. The lake cruise instead occurred in Lucerne when we had four optional experiences in one day. This made for a very tiring last day, although they were all excellent experiences. We chose the itinerary based on most of the optional experiences and from day one they were changed. Loved the Matterhorn optional experience, but the Ambassador Hotel was outdated and could have been cleaner.

Explore delivered a holiday that exceeded expectations with Aurora an excellent choice of operator. They also responded promptly and well to a late flight cancellation. We have already booked another trip with them.
Janet | Traveled in July
The Realm of the Polar Bear trip lived up to my expectations in that we did see Polar Bears as well as walruses, lots of sea birds, artic foxes and distant views of whales. I would however say that you need to be physically fit to enjoy the full experience, some of the walks on land were strenuous and although you could opt out of the walks and just beach comb you could miss a lot.
