It was well paced tour. We were lucky enough to have a great guide in Michael. We could have had more time in Zermatt.
Was good but spent a bit too much time for the day in some places and not enough time in Bern.
was a great tour guide, and was a wonderful safe driver.
In One word, it was Fantastic. We really enjoyed everything about it.
Experienced a lot more than I could if I travelled on my own
Great! Planning is good, visited many places of interest.
For the most part the itinerary was good. I felt that at times too much time was allotted after the walking tours. I do realize that this was because they wanted to have the hotel room ready when we arrived.
Spent 464 Euros (about $540 US) to see the view from the Eagle's Nest and the view of the Matterhorn. We saw neither because of the weather and cloud cover. There should be a disclaimer in the excursion writeup explaining the chances of actually seeing the landmarks
There was not much open in Zurich on the August 1st holiday. Something should have been planned.
Liked the varied itinerary and opportunities to get to know fellow travellers. Really liked Matterhorn. Didn’t care for chocolate factory visit. Was hokey and child like..no chocolate demonstration which is what we had been looking forward to. Really enjoyed walking tours with select guides at various towns and attractions. Loved the ski jumping and the night out at Swiss show Didn’t like first or last hotel. Both rooms were small cramped and had no air conditioning. The last hotel had shards of glass outside our room and down the hall. Reported it to chambermaids…nothing done. Reported it to front desk next day..nothing done. Was still there when we left.
Yes!!! This was magnificent tour, and I highly recommend it to others. Our tour guide was outstanding,
The tour itinerary covers the major cities of Austria and Switzerland very well and a brief stopover in Berchtesgaden. Walking tour of Zurich and Vienna very enjoyable. A wonderful experience travelling on a Luzern public transport with *personal info removed by Feefo* our tour director who taken indeed a very good care of the tour group and good photographer too
The itinerary and excursions were great. Our tour director, *personal info removed by Feefo* , went way above the call of duty to take care of us and make sure we had a wonderful experience. He was truly great! I would recommend this tour to others!
Our tour guide *personal info removed by Feefo* made our Switzerland Austria trip memorable, full of experiences of historic interest and information, culture, fun and care. He made us all feel like a "team" of adventurers experiencing together times tat would be a part of our lifelong memories. Thank you, *personal info removed by Feefo*
This trip was amazing! We got to see so many beautiful places in Austria and Switzerland. I would let others, who are thinking about booking this trip, that there is a fair amount of walking involved and that there are many early mornings. This wasn't a problem for me but some of the older attendees found it challenging. I would suggest that, in terms of the extra outings, the chocolate excursion be removed. Everyone I spoke to, including myself, was disappointed with this one. All the others were great.
Fantastic trip from beginning to end. Gorgeous scenery, great excursions, knowledgeable local guides.
A wonderful tour of Austria and Switzerland. Learnt so much about the history and culture of the area. Also some excellent food and restaurant experiences as well as extra time for exploring and shopping.
It was an outstanding trip. The scenery was beautiful. The people in Austria and Switzerland were so polite and wonderful. The bus tour director was extremely knowledgeable and friendly.
