Very good for travellers who enjoy trains rather than buses. I particularly liked the Swiss Alps experience and the Rhine Valley. The tour leader was very helpful and patient with all of us. Great group of people too.

Overall it was a great vacation. The tour leader (Matt) was professional, knowledgeable and funny. The coach driver (Alex) was great too. They worked well together and gave a constant calm feeling to our group. Our leaders had a few obstacles to overcome and they handled them without us ever needed to worry. A few suggestions from Matt made our trip even better. We ate with different people each night, we rotated seats and made friends for a life time. Life changing experience.
