Switzerland Budget Trips

Bernini Express. Tour manager Dario was always prepared and gave just enough information and history to make it interesting and amusing but not overdone. Went out of his way to meet the needs of all the group. Made the trip very pleasant and memorable. A treasure

Our guide went out of his way when rain was coming in…he found something else for us to do. That was above our expectations. The train ride…Fabulous. So glad we got to see the lion of the Swiss Guards.

There were so many great experiences. The train rides. The lakes, the tours. It all was so memorable. Being able to see the Matterhorn was definitely a highlight. The only thing I would say is maybe stay more than one night in St. Moritz. You get there later in the afternoon and cannot really enjoy all it has to offer.

The tour was very well planned and the activity level was just about right. There was enough to do but still some private time.The best part of the trip was the beautiful scenery around every corner. I liked the different kinds of transportation. We were on the bus, train, and a cable car.

The whole experience was wonderful. It made our first trip to Europe a very informative and memorable adventure. Lake Maggiore was so pleasant and all of the train rides were beyond compare. Paolo was an excellent tour manager and he knew all the right places to eat and had great rapport with all of the hotels and restaurants along the way.

I was able to visit lots of places in a short period of time. The guides and drivers were friendly and helpful. Honestly, the hotel were the worst and not comfortable at all—especially the one in Rome (in terms of cleanliness, food, and service). Thank God we didn’t stay long in them, but they really didn’t feel like 4-star hotels at all. Breakfast was limited and not very good. I would have appreciated an option to return to the hotels in some days rather than wait for the late pick up.. emergencies happen but alot of times we weren’t even checked in until late evenings..
