Switzerland Tours for Seniors

We had an amazing time on the Glorious Switzerland trip. Our guide Sue was amazing and had everything running smoothly. Even when a traffic accident threw a curve ball the swift plan "B" was put into place and everyone enjoyed the new days travel plans.

Our trip to Countryroads to Switzerland was fantastic! It was beautifully and carefully organized. Our travel director, Matt is very nice and also very informed, helpful, funny and caring. Maria our coach driver went out of her way to accommodate everyone. The hotels and breakfasts were great, and the excursions were a lot of fun and very well organized! Traveling by coach was very comfortable throughout our travels. Switzerland is one of the most beautiful country in the world and we are very happpy to have experienced it with Insight Vacations. Thank you Insight Vacations for an amazing life experience!

Great time. Switzerland is simply gorgeous. Tour included Zurich, Zermatt, St. Moritz and Lucern, as well as Lake Maggiore in Northern Italy. We felt that the tour included about all we could see in these cities. The train rides were epic and the optional excursions were wonderful. Our tour guide was Armando and we would rate him A-1. We hope our paths will cross again someday!

The itinerary was great. Just wish we had more time at each place and less days where we just had 1 night in a hotel. Also - the info re: the trip indicated that we were only in ONE country. I understand that all of our hotels were in Switzerland, but we were actually in THREE countries - Switzerland, Italy and Lichtenstein. All of the hotels were really nice. For the dinners that were included, the best one was in Zermatt at Derby. there were SO many choices. Regarding excursions, not enough information was provided to make plans ahead of time. Also - on the day we were in Italy / L'Isola Bella, there was NOTHING to say that if we DIDN'T do this excursion we could have spent the day exploring in Stressa. For the risotto-making excursion, the FUN far exceeded the FOOD. Everyone thought the risotto we ate was very bland. Our travel director, Faith Puttman, was DELIGHTFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just can't say enough about her knowledge, her patience, her sense of humor and her overall personality. She is PERFECT for this job. Our driver, Nikolas, was also great. He was so humble and so helpful.

Our tour guide, Rob, was exceptional in every way! His easy going personality is his best attribute. Right from the beginning I knew he was going to be a wonderful guide. His talks were never boring and his knowledge about anything Switzerland is admirable. There was a man with mobility issues and he. was very kind in making sure he had a good experience. Aside from Rob, the itinerary was wonderful. The country is stunning! I think we saw a lot of the country in the time we had. The highlight for me was going to the Matterhorn.. the best dinner was the “yodeling” show. Rob also gave us great tips on things to do, where to eat, etc when we were in our own. All the excursions were interesting and well presented.

In April, it is not a cold as we thought that it would be, coming from Canada. So bring short sleeved shirts. Of course you need warmer clothing for going to the top of the mountains. The food is great! Spend the extra money and do all the excursions, you won’t regret it. The Charlie Chaplin excursion was fantastic and so was the supper/ Swiss Band in Lucern.
