Reply from: Intrepid Travel
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry to hear that you were not happy with the leader, we specify in our essential trip information that all Intrepid group trips in Europe are accompanied by one of our local European group leaders. ’Local’ in this context means a leader who is European or lives in Europe. If you wanted to discuss this further please email us directly at customercare@intrepidtravel.com and we'll be happy to discuss your trip experience in more detail with you.

This was not the best of Switzerland Far from it. DATE 3RD August 2022 1. The tour leader(not guide)told us this was a blind tour (thats a new one)which means the leader had not done the tour before and was not a local The tour leader was from Italy Not a local as promised in the itinerary this is from the itinerary (Your local group leader will provide expert advice on how to make the most of your free time, as well as giving you orientation walks around each place so you can get your bearing) this from there trip notes the local tour guide was the main reason i took the tour Our tour leader did the tour from a phone as the leader had never been there before. I come 33hours from Australia to get a local tour guide !!!! I paid single supp and didntt know some hotel rooms are 2star I only found out when I got the itinerary from the leader from our whats app group when we started if it had had the names that are web sight trip itinerary I could have looked them up if I known some were 2 star I could have made an informed decision. Here are the hotel names look them up and decide for yourself 1.Zurich hotel Montana self check in not easy (terrible room) 2.st Gallen hotel elite 2 star nothing in room apart from bed 3.Lucern Hotel Alpha 4.Jungfrau interlaken youth hostel 5.bulle very noisy Hine Adon 6.Bern nothing special Hotel National Also there is a lot of back tracking on the trains thats not on the trip notes like St Galan you there from ZURICH to st galan then back to zurch Jungfrau you do 8 train rides 3 up the mountain 3 down the mountain then a train to bern the another train to bulle thats 8 trains in one day Bulle you catch the train to Maison gruyere then train back to bulle then bus from bulle to choclate factory gruyere right past where you been in the morning This is not a tour I would recommendShow more
