Best of Switzerland

Every town and city was great. The history was fabulous. It was a great experience.

Great itinerary! However, I would have rather had a longer boat ride on Lake Geneva and/or more free time in Montreux. The Chaplin tour and short boat ride was disappointing. The Swiss dinner in Zermatt was lower quality and overpriced compared to other dinners on the tour. Enjoyed the rest of the tour. was a superb tour director. Very knowledgeable, managed the schedule in consideration of weather and crowd control.

Loved the hotels, the Swiss Alps, and all the wonderful excursions.

Our guide, Eric, was excellent. Our group was diverse, friendly & fun. We saw a lot and did a lot! Switzerland had been on our bucket list a long time and we loved it! We do feel strongly that Trafalgar should better describe the excursions & what's involved. There was a LOT of walking and there were LOTS of steps, many without handrails! This would help people sign up for appropriate excursions. It's frustrating to sign up & pay for an excursion and not be able to do it after you get there. Be prepared for EARLY morning starts!

It was excellent. The only thing that I would have liked was to have visited the Lindt chocolate factory and museum.

The Bernina Express train ride was canceled and another train ride was substituted which consisted of several tunnels and was not the experience I wanted. The whole tour group was not able to travel the UNESCO train ride due to late booking problems. This was unexpected and disappointing.

Touched the highlights of the country. Not a rushed tour!

Through the years, I have completed 7 Trafalgar tours. Unfortunately, the tour guide was my least favorite part of this tour. Usually, it's the best part of the tour.

It was great and varied.

You get to see so much of Switzerland which I found to be the most beautiful country that I’ve ever been in. This itinerary traveled around the whole country but you never felt like you were in the bus for “too” long. Our guide was fun and you get to meet and feel comfortable with the entire group you are traveling with. Everyone was close in age. There was a commonality amongst the other passengers. I think that once we paid for this trip, the only other money we had to put out was for our own souvenirs and perhaps a small lunch or snack. Our travel agent was fabulous. Maureen, at Good Buy Travel in Orlando Park, IL, made all the arrangements and had all the details in perfect order for us to easily refer to. Any questions we might have were easily referred to in our packet. We felt that the price of the trip was worthy of the services provided.

Very relaxed pace with beautiful scenery

It was a well put together tour, informative, scenic and a very knowledgeable tour director who made the trip worthwhile

The horse and carriage ride was a waste of time and money in Saint Moritz.The other options were worth it.

The itinerary was well paced and for the most part kept to plan. Beautiful scenery and fantastic group of fellow travellers. Accommodation was varied, some very tired hotels but placed in good locations. 2 optional excursions were not made available and the Bernina Express (I travelled from Australia especially for this experience) was not available as 'they couldn't get tickets' and was replaced with a 2 hour ride on a local train. This was unacceptable. The food for our first dinner and last dinner were not the best. As for the Tour Director, being direct is no excuse for being rude and sometimes treating us like errant schoolchildren on a bus tour. I'm giving a 3 for the wonderful people on the trip. As for my first time with Trafalgar, I wouldn't risk another tour if their organisational skills and Tour Directors are so unfavourable.

I would have liked another day in Zurich instead of spending so much time in Bern. I wasn’t impressed with the bear pit and didn’t consider it a highlight. Since we arrived on Sunday most shops were closed so I feel it was a wasted trip. I was also horrified with the transfers from land to boat in Stressa. There were no piers available for safe transfers. Many of my fellow travelers had mobility and balance issues and assistance was minimal. It was a serious accident waiting to happen. The meal that evening was mediocre. Also the farewell dinner in Lucerne was poor. Pork was overcooked, salad was the best course. Zermatt, Montreux and Lucerne were delightful

That the itinerary is not always true to promise. We were promised a ride on the Bernese Mountain UNESCO train, that did not happen. We were promised to be able to see an actual wood carver carving in one of our last stops. We were taken to a wood working store, no actual carving to be seen.

The itinerary took us to excellent locations every day. The value was good.

We saw so many wonderful sites! Our days were completely filled with experiences that were well planned. was a great tour guide and extremely helpful with getting our lost luggage and so many other things.

Switzerland was beautiful. I was amazed at the scenery. The day at the Matterhorn and Klein Matterhorn the skies were so clear the views were amazing. I didn't realize that Switzerland should be a 'bucket list' item until I was there.
