Europe Train Tour Reviews
Genuine reviews from travelers on Train Europe tours
Anonymous | Traveled in June
The itinerary was very good; the towns, sites visited and optional tours were a good introduction to Switzerland. The one recommendation I would offer is to replace one night in St. Moritz with an additional night in Zurich.
Randall K. | Traveled in June
The one thing I would suggest is replacing the day that included a short boat ride without narration and a tour of Geneva. We found this to be the most uninteresting day of the tour. I would like to have spent another night in Lugano or a night in Stresa and seen more in one of those areas. Driving around looking a UN or government buildings was pretty boring. I also feel that too many of the best parts of the trip came at an additional cost as the best excursions were optional. I believe these (Klein Matterhorn and Jungfraujoch) should be part of the tour. I realize this would increase the cost of the tour. It just seemed that there were too many entire afternoons or says that had no included activities for a fairly pricey upscale tour. We enjoyed the tour very much though and Sue did a marvelous job. I will definitely consider Insight Travel strongly for future travel.

Pretty much all the excursions we went on were worth it. If nothing else, the mountain ones are absolutely worth it (i.e. The Matterhorn, etc.) even if you don't want to add anything else on.

We enjoyed all of the locations. A good way to see a lot of Switzerland. The included dinners were all very good. Hotel choices were fine with the exception of one. Our Travel Director was wonderful, she made the trip great!
Robert C. | Traveled in June
Two weeks of exposure to the four distinct linguistic areas of a beautiful country. There were lots of opportunities for free time to go further off the beaten path, but the optional excursions were well worth the investment.
Barbara | Traveled in June
Fast paced and saw a lot. Not in depth but more a taster identifying areas that may be worth revisiting. Accommodation was of a pretty good standard overall. Overnight train was an interesting experience. Our tour leader was excellent and really made the trip special.
