I planned this trip for the sole purpose of touring the many cities and places of Switzerland. Because I wanted a longer trip, I chose this one. Loved every minute of every place and every experience I had. I highly recommend it for so many reasons. If you’re a nature lover like I am and love history and small towns and little villages, book this trip.

On the go always and too expensive for the extra excursions. We did not even get to see Zurich or Geneva. The food was terrible. I did not enjoy the dinners at all. There was only 2 hotels 🏨 that were nice. This was the most expensive trip I’ve traveled with Trafalgar.
