Itinerary was good. Tour Managers spotify playlist blasting through the coach speakers was ruined the enjoyment of the tour.
It was a wonderful itinerary but with the ride on the Glacier Express should be cut in half. Five hours was a very long time, especially after riding on the train through the Bernina Pass. The train on the Bernina Pass was roomier, with open windows, and about 2-2.5 hours.
The itinerary provides an excellent overview of the country. I am glad we visited all four official language regions. At first glance I thought that the Lake Geneva region may have been over-emphasized, but, in handsight, I had greatly underestimated the scenic and cultural interest of the region. I really enjoyed this region, especially Montreux and Lousanne.
The heat really had a negative impact on our trip. Therefore, I feel our guide should have maybe been given alternative excursions that would have been more appropriate for the group. Rather than, we went to a city, were taken to a spot she was contracted to take us to, then set free in a strange place in 96 degree temperatures to fend for ourselves for 2-3 hours. Total waste of time and money. Not impressed with the fondue dinner or risotto dinner at all. Our luggage was damaged (cracked on one side) by one of the transport companies.
Country Roads of Switzerland gives you the opportunity to explore many sites in Switzerland from the bigger cities like Zurich and Lucerne to the smaller mountain towns of Zermatt and Grindlewald. Being a first-time traveler to Switzerland, it was a good introduction to all the Country has to offer.
