- ELEllie· September 21st, 2024The itinerary was good. If we could have left at 8 am instead of 9am the morning we drove to Bern, we would have been there for the clock turning to 12:00 noon, which would have been much more spectacular than seeing it turn 1:00pm.Insight Vacations commented on this reviewThank you for being our guest and traveling with us. We hope you have enjoyed your journey.Trip date: September 2024

- Richard· July 31st, 2019My wife and I spent two glorious weeks on Country Roads of Switzerland enjoying all that Zurich, Lucerne, Bern, Montreux, Zermatt, St. Moritz and Grindelwald had to offer. We can never forget knocking off bucket list items of seeing the Matterhorn and taking the Glacier Express! All our hotels were 4 and 5 star centrally located with spectacular views with the added benefit of the Jazz Festival happening during our stay in Montreux. What also made our vacation so memorable was how exceptionally well organized our tour was under the expert guidance of our Travel Guide Sara Tattersall. The smaller group sizes offered by Insight made it very easy for the guests to get to know each other and get all fabulously. My wife and I are already thinking of what tour we want to do next year.Show moreInsight Vacations commented on this reviewWe are elated to learn that your Country Roads of Switzerland trip with Insight Vacations exceeded your expectations.

- DDonFought· July 17th, 2019Exceeded our expectations. This was our 7th trip with Insight and we have not been disappointed in any of them including this one. This trip is more about the Alps, the quaint villages and the cultural/scenic experiences than museums, dining, cathedrals, etc, which is exactly what we wanted. Carl Eggeling our tour director and Marcel our driver did a great job keeping us on schedule, wait times for trains/cable cars at a minimum and safe on all the 'country roads'. The scenery was mind-blowing, especially the last major mountain pass going to Grindenwald. The optionals were limited but worth the cost and time (the Klein Matterhorn, the Berniner train in St Moritz, the Jungfrau in Grindenwald were outstanding). I wish we would have skipped the meat fondue in Montreux (waste of 99 Franks per person in our opinion) but you live and learn. Definitely use your transportaton pass in St. Mortiz to take the Funicular and cable car to Top of St Mortiz. Highly recommend this trip.Show moreInsight Vacations commented on this reviewIt certainly pleases us to learn that your overall experience with Insight Vacations in Switzerland was a successful one.
