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.

In Geneva, you'll enjoy a sumptuous fondue dinner.

Get swept up in the charm of Switzerland's lively cities and soul-stirring landscapes on this perfect winter break filled with magical Christmas markets, delicious food and plenty of opportunities to shop.
Overall, this was an amazing trip to be introduced to Europe and experience a little bit of everything there. If you are thinking about opting out of a tour service like this and figuring it all out on your own, I would advise against it. There are a lot of cultural and social differences between these countries that a cursory internet search will not make you aware of. The tour guide's guidance is really what allowed us to be safe and not clueless while exploring, and the tour also highlighted a lot of the activities and locations that were actually worth doing. I feel like I truly maximized my time in Europe and did not waste a moment. At this price point, I doubt you would be able to find anything as good. It was truly life-changing, and on the flight back I dreaded coming back home. Also, if you see Kevin Screene as an option for your tour guides, take him. Amazing person and an even better guide.

I need to place on record that I experienced considerable difficulty with my booking at the local Trafalgar Offices in Johannesburg. Emails were never answered by the same agent and the contents were not being read and understood as the replies I received from various employees were inadequate and erroneous :(. It was clear that the people I was dealing with were incompetent / inexperienced / and / or had not received adequate training. It made me very nervous and stressed about the booking and I actually considered cancelling. My concerns were eventually escalated to and at that office and thankfully was amazing in assisting me from there on :).
However, this was my 5th Trafalgar Tour over many years and, once again, it was expertly planned and executed by Trafalgar. , our Tour Director, was extremely patient, professional, informative, organized and helpful. The logistics of moving so many people (and their luggage) around safely and securely must be a nightmare. A Tour Director's job can't be easy but is clearly passionate about her work and she does it with a smile, a spring in her step and a lovely sense of humour. She is simply amazing. We saw and experienced so much in such a short space of time and could never have done this on our own. I can only describe the scenery as spectacular, indescribable and unforgettable. Trafalgar really take the stress out of travel. Thank you to and Trafalgar! :)

This is a fast pace tour so we've seen many points of interests in 11 counties in 14 days. It was well organized and learned some of the countries history, which was very nice. Pascal is such a caring person and excellent driver. He always have that beautiful smile and warm hello whenever he sees you even though he worked for many long hours. Would give him 7 stars out of 5. He goes above and beyond expectations. What an asset forExpat! Matt is very well versed in European history and it is great learning from him. He also kept us well informed so that the tour runs smoothly, which we appreciate very much. Though a couple of the hotels are not up to par, it won't prevent us from touring through Expat in the future. Overall, it was a great experience for us .

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.

Loved everywhere we visited. Would have loved to spend the night in Innterlaken in order to take advantage of a few of the many activities that were available there.

This was our first time to Europe and it did not disappoint! Right from day 1 the fun started! Jared was our tour leader, if you ever get the chance to tour with him, you are lucky. He was fantastic!!! His knowledge of the places we stopped was expansive and he made it interesting to learn the history! Florentin our driver was a rock for us! He got us safely to our destinations and always had a smile on his face! We forged friendships on this tour that made this the most memorable trip! We laughed a lot !!! I am so glad my daughter and I were lucky enough to have such an amazing tour leader, driver and fellow travellers that only made all the amazing places we saw, better! Thank you
The tour was excellent. Sonny was an incredible driver, prompt, friendly and kind. Our tour guide, Callum 'Blinky' Pyper, was full of historical and local knowledge, friendly, patient and kind. Both took very good care of us. We enjoyed all the excursions as they allowed for a bit more interaction with the local cultures.
