Reviews of Italy And Switzerland Family Tours
What a terrific journey! The trip includes visits to Geneva, Montreux, Zermatt, Baveno, St. Moritz, Liechtenstein and Lucerne. Glacial lakes, stunning mountains and beautiful scenery everywhere you look! One of my favourite experiences was the Glacier Express, through the heart of the Swiss Alps. Martin was our superb Travel Director, and he was an incredible force as he acted as host, and organized even the smallest details. Wandering through the mountains surrounding Zermatt in my free time was a memory I will appreciate forever. A fantastic journey, done in impressive style!
Glorious Switzerland (Classic, 8 Days)
- European Dream (2024 Onwards, 8 Days) (5 destinations)
Lovely, well organised tour, felt completely taken care of. Didn't have to worry about anything. Without optionals, there wasnt much to do so ended up taking all but one optionals. Found the optionals experience completely worth it. Coach service was excellent till Paris with Fabio as the driver. London coach seats were hard and smaller. Met some lovely fellow travellers. Best part is when everybody is well taken care of, the atmosphere becomes friendly and polite. In future also, will opt for group tours only. Trafalgar will definitely be in consideration set. Thanks for planning such a beautiful and comfortable trip.
- European Wonderland (End Paris, 11 Days)
Had to rebook over COVID. Tourradar was a great help!
