France Switzerland Tours and Trips

Saw fewer castles than I was led to believe. Unnecessary and often lengthy [shopping] stops at specialist 'local art and craft' venues which didn't add value to the tour. Cuisine at the included dinners were mundane, and not what I expected of French meals.

Vienna was the favorite part of the tour for me. The concert the last evening in Vienna was wonderful. The palace and the grounds were so beautiful. Javier did a wonderful job as our tour guide. He included everyone and made it an amazing experience!

Everything was amazing. Our Tour Manager Rudolph was one of the best. He's very knowledgeable about all the destinations, and just pleasant to be around. All the canal cruises was equally memorable. My favorite experience was the dining moment at Eiffel Tower restaurant in Paris.

Fast-paced, giving us opportunity to see so many of Europe's highlights in a compressed schedule. Transportation was very comfortable - from the many water taxi rides in Venice to the comfortable coach moving to other cities, to horse and carriage and gondola rides in Switzerland... transportation was a big plus. Also, the many hotels were all comfortable with top-quality breakfasts included. I recommend this tour if you want to see a lot in a short time frame.

TMB camping was the 4th and the most challanging long distance hike since my retirement. We were with 12 fellow hikers (me: the only continental person and the oldest female) aged 18-76, guided by Tim, the best guide I ever hiked with and taken care of by Alberto, a hard working chef kook and we had an unlimited fun!

An Exceptional Tour Experience Our trip was absolutely outstanding. Our guide, was exceptional — his deep knowledge of European history and the passion he brought to his storytelling enriched every destination we visited. He was consistently informative, highly organized, and genuinely attentive to everyone in the group. The hotels were top quality, and the included dinners were lovely. Every optional excursion was fantastic, offering us the chance to see and do as much as possible throughout the tour. A special mention also goes to our bus driver who ensured we travelled safely and handled our luggage with care at each hotel. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a well planned, engaging, and memorable travel experience.
