Best of Switzerland Reviews

This tour was a 3 star tour. Something in between the Trafalgar & Costsaver tour - not value for what we paid. The tour program was good. Hotels weren't good for the tour's value - it seems that some travellers were in favour to be accommodated in bigger rooms with better views. I would like to know who decides who stays in which room in particular ...read more in the hotel in St Moritz. Meals were OK but not anything special. Tour Guide was average- not committed enough. Tour driver was experienced and friendly. Number of Optional Tours were too many, some could be included in the tour package.

One again Hannah was a great help in booking this tour back to back with the 15 Day Bohemian tour. Best of Switzerland was at a much slower pace, with views of the magnificent alps and lakes. Our tour director Woolfgan, a pleasant and happy person, although being bilingual, the different ascents and dialects of tour guests caused him minor problems. ...read more Unfortunately his time management skills weren't good, and we relied on each other to work out our daily schedule. He was not always available when questions needed to be addressed. Needless to say the coach drivers did an excellent job as usual. Negatives were arriving in the Hilton Hotel Evian at the end of the day, having to wait an hour in the coach, as our rooms weren't ready. This happened again when we arrived in Zermatt, personally my husband and I waited for 1 1/2 hours for our room to be ready! Highlights of this tour were taking a cable car to 3779m to Klein Matterhorn - then taking oldest mountain railway and Cabrio cable car to reach 1900m on Mt Stanserhorn, and the train from Triano to St Mortiz.

Wonderful tour arranged by Global Journeys for our trip with Trafalgar. Switzerland is a beautiful country with friendly people where you feel safe in very clean surrounds. The tour is diverse and overall there is nothing we would change from what was arranged. We had 3 days in Zurich prior to the tour which was lovely, easy to get about on public transport ...read more and the old part of the city provided plenty of highlights for the 3 days. Would use Global Journeys for all future organised travel arrangements.

The tour was good. As I was traveling with a friend we requested twin beds but in many hotels we got either double or queen beds. Therefore we were not happy with the bedding arrangements. Also Trafalgar did not have any of our personal details such as passport info, emergency contacts etc. Even though we have given them to Global Journeys. (Ed. Tut ...read more tut, we will let them know, we don't want to ask you for them and then them not use them!)

We thought we would try a 'lively' tour just to see how it went. After 7 days of moves it was a bit too much of a good thing. However, the things we saw and did were great. Saddest case was the 'failed' St Bernard rescue dog who had been demoted to posing for photos and was even keener to get back to the central heating than we were - lovely dog anyway. ...read more (Ed. This coach tour has had a day added in 2013 to ensure a more lesiurely experience.)
