Really couldn’t fault this itinerary it covered everyone’s likes from start to finish. Whilst we had been to France previously I was delighted with the “new” areas we covered.

I was happy with itinerary given it is only a short . Zurich is somewhere I would like to see but given the length of the tour not everywhere can fit in the itinerary. The places chosen in the itinerary were nice to visit.

Insight Vacations created an amazing itinerary. I’ve been on several land tours with other companies, but this one exceeded my expectations. The tour took us to so many beautiful places in the Fench countryside. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone!

Lovely mix of touring through countryside and passes on a luxury coach, and having opportunities to walk through towns or take gondolas up amazing mountains. Absolutely glorious weather and glorious scenery. While winter outerwear is necessary for the gondola trips, no fancy dinner duds required! Some group dinners, some dinners on your own. Terrific, engaging, organized travel director and driver. No pressure to purchase optional excursions.

We had a good time with this countryside of Switzerland. The optional tours were also worth it. Sue mason was so knowledgable on her role as a tour guide. Nicolas brought us to our destinations safe and sound. Highly recommendable package of insight vacations

I chose this itinerary for my 70th birthday celebration. I had no idea how fantastic this trip would be. Switzerland is amazing and beautiful our tour guide. Erik was the best. The people we met on the trip were also great. I would definitely do another Trafalgar tour.
