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.

Fast paced but we love that we get to see so much. Wouldn’t have been able to see a quarter of what we saw trying to coordinate a trip like this ourselves. We are already planning our third tour to book.
Stretching across the centre of Europe, the snow-capped Alps are one of the world’s most spectacular mountain ranges. Soak in this pristine beauty from legendary rail journeys, winding alpine roads and luxurious hotels.
There’s something hauntingly beautiful about Europe’s snow-scattered mountains, whether venturing through picture-perfect Switzerland or traversing wild and wonderful Austria. From the gigantic and jagged Matterhorn to the arresting landscapes you’ll see while travelling on some of Switzerland’s world-famous panorama trains including the Glacier Express, every aspect of your alpine journey is exhilarating. Visit the fairytale Neuschwanstein Castle, tour a museum dedicated to Charlie Chaplin, enjoy a traditional Swiss chalet dinner, and stand on top of Europe at Jungfraujoch, the continent’s highest train station.
