    Part 2 : For those that are staying at the StarHotel Bussiness Place pick-up place, yes they do keep your luggage for you. (we only carry a carry-on for fear of having too much) they do have a wonderful staff also it is easy for the tour guide to find you in the lobby at the start. I know if you ask the desk they may not give you the answer you want to here. Milan is also a great Pre-Tour City to explore before and after Easy train ride from the hotel.

    2 of the 3 hotels were not convenient to the towns. And 1 hotel room was in a hospital! The hotels were clean but bedding was uncomfortable. Would describe as budget accommodation in inconvenient locations.

    We traveled and explored a great deal. I wish our guide had accompanied us o all our experiences rather than exploring on our own. However, our guide was very attentive and assisted us with local purchases and pharmacies.

    Driver and minibus were excellent. Lauterbrunnen day was very enjoyable. The Alps day was boring and disappointing - we drove almost all day and only had about 2 and a half hours in a touristy village, no time to go properly up to the Alps. Accomodation was very mediocre, and should have been located NEAR the destinations on the itinerary. Many hours were spent driving to and from the hotels, and arriving too tired and too late to enjoy the city anyway.

    The value of a Rabbie's tour did not disappoint. The driver, Juan Carlos, and the guide, Christina, were invaluable. We are seasoned travelers and have always traveled on our own, making our own plans and travelled with the help of guide books. We will never go back to doing that again. Juan Carlos easily navigated the windy, hilly roads of Italy and Switzerland, and knew the traffic patterns of the countries. Christina, the guide, was great in giving us information about the culture and customs of the people and countries. This tour is perfect for the traveler who wants to have hotel arrangements made, transportation provided yet wants to explore the designated cities and towns on their own without having to follow a guide around. This style of travel really is not for the faint of heart. We were up and gone by 8 or 9 am and returned to the hotel each night around 7:00 or 7:30 each day. Hotels were adequate to good, a variety of accommodations. A 6 day trip was the perfect amount of time to see so many wonderful things. We loved each stop, each city or village had something unique to offer. Each day offered something different, it is hard to say which one was our favorite, although, Lauterbrunnen stood out as a very memorable day. we will not hesitate to recommend Rabbies to friends, and to sign up for another tour.
