What people love about Switzerland Tours in August
- Swiss Miracle
Vitali and Michael made our Swiss Tour genuinely superb. The itinerary was excellently organized. However, 2 of the hotel’s air conditioners were been our main issues. More on positive note, Vitali has generous knowledge and Michael has smooth driving. Nikolai considerately took charge one day to give Vitali a day off. Meeting new well travelled friends Lina, Salam and Kallie who became our adopted daughter, the youngest member of our tour for a week :) we bonded. We sang our friendship song even we are out of tune ?”we are the champion” It left good vibe impression. “Jennifer Team” repeatedly and fondly echoes in our memory. This has made all the difference. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
- Country Roads of Switzerland (Classic)
Fabulous and comprehensive tour. Thank you so much to Brianna (Travel Director) and Maria (Driver) for a brilliant two weeks!
