Experience the magic of Switzerland at Christmas, journeying from Lucerne to Grindelwald, and on to Geneva. Start your Swiss adventure in Lucerne, a stunning 14th-century fortress city sitting on a lakeshore and surrounded by snow-capped forests. Voyage through the frosted peaks and frozen waterfalls of the Grisons Alps to the Alpine ski resort of St. Moritz, a retreat frequented by royalty and James Bond, famously featured in The Spy Who Loved Me. Take a scenic rail journey to Andermatt and travel through the heart of the Swiss Alps in the Albula Pass tunnel, before crossing the skyscraping Landwasser Viaduct and descending through the Rhône Valley. In Geneva, you'll enjoy a sumptuous fondue dinner.
Highlights of Bohemia has been my dream trip since 2019 (as my initial booking was cancelled more than once during 2020-2021 due to the pandemic and related social issues) and I'm so happy I was finally able to experience it. The trip was thoughtfully and wonderfully planned out. The coach travel was well-timed (with plenty of stops and even a couple of movies during the longer stretches). Having two nights for each hotel stay allowed the right balance of rest and travel. The itinerary was well-balanced between structured/ guided and free/ personal time and neither ever felt like too much or too little of either. The Tour Director was amazing in every way; extremely good at balancing and accomadating group and individual needs and, along with the Local Specialists provided global and local historical and social perspectives, as well as helpful suggestions for the best use of our free time. The drivers were safe and very helpful, and the coach was always clean and comfortable. Hotels were mostly centrally located, also allowing a better personal experience for those like me who enjoy wandering and enjoying local venues and persons.
Our overall experience with GAdventures was outstanding. The CEOs leading the tours were extremely knowledgeable of the cities we visited and always ready to help make the tours exciting and fun. We had at least two days in each of the cites which gave us enough time to explore on our own or with new friends we made along the way.
I highly recommend GAdventures and we are already looking for another GAdventure tour next year.
Grand European tour with as our amazing Tour Director and as our awesome driver was a magical experience. The tour optional experience extras were fabulous and well worth including in the tour. The tour is fast paced, informative and lots of fun. It certainly highlights all the best parts of Europe in a safe and comfortable environment.
Amazing trip! If you want to see all the beautiful scenery Switzerland has, this is the trip for you! The small multicultural group size made it easy to get to know one another other and learn about each others countries and previous travel experiences. Our Tour guide was extremely informative and expressed great passion for the country and his job.
I didn't know what to expect, all I can say is was fantastic. Luke & Craig were exceptional they couldn't do enough for us, nothing was a problem. Luke is the best tour leader we've ever had. His knowledge about history & places were amazing. Craig's driving was exceptional & his thoughtfulness was over & above. They work SOOOOOOOO WELL together. Thank you XPat for placing them as our tour leader & driver.
was an excellent tour manager and he had a great sense of humor. The driver was amazing as he maneuver the coach in tight spaces. We had the right balance of “on the move” and free time. The cities we visited were unbelievably magnificent. It was the week before Easter. I enjoyed the Easter markets and got the Krtek I was looking for. The local guides were well chosen and augmented the history I had researched before going. Great trip. Would travel with again.
We had the best time on the Scandinavian tour. We met some really nice people from all over the globe and had a wonderful time together. Our tour guide Luke was the best. He has the nicest personality, made us laugh and full of knowledge. Our tour guide Brian wax the best as well and got us to all our destinations safely. The two made a great team and gave us the best experience.
