Reviews of Small Group tours to Switzerland
- Swiss Miracle
I thoroughly enjoyed my Swiss Fairytale tour, guided by Vitali. Vitali gave his all, and was very knowledgeable and friendly. . He gave great local tips. His knowledge of history was incredible . Communication was excellent, and I always felt cared for. The tour was a great balance of shared activities and some free days, I’d highly recommend this tour, with Vitatali as the guide. Many thanks, Maria
- Stunning Switzerland
Meticulously planned and executed with swiss excellence... There were so many curve balls thrown by mother nature, but vitalli rearrange things and made everything happen. This was THE best part of our 2 months Europe tour where we used 3 different group tours, 5-7 different private tours...
- Best of Switzerland
Good, but there was definitely a lack of information given to folk on the tour. As in what to wear, how strenuous it's going to be ... etc.
