    Asked on November 17th, 2025

    I am interested in this tour. We are open on any of the dates from May 15, 2026 through June 30th. We are seniors and want a group tour. We do not want lavish OR the cheapest. We want to visit Switzerland and Italy. We can do separate 7 day tours back to back or a tour that includes both countries. Is Tour Journey an actual travel tour company or a search engine?

      TravelerWritten November 2025

      My friend and I want to do a group tour of Switzerland and Italy in June of 2026. We are in our 70s, so we don't want a hiking tour. We need a 'refundable' situation in case of an emergency. This tour seems perfect, for us, but I want to make sure before we book this. I have been working on this for 3 months and I am tired of looking for the 'right' tour. Is this it?

    • Tourist JourneyOperatorWritten November 2025

      Multi-day tour of any type - Cancelations made up to 31 days before the departure date will receive a 95% refund. Cancelations made less than 31 days before the departure date are non-refundable. Train tickets - From the moment of the booking - Non-refundable. Colosseum Rome, Italy - It is mandatory to provide a first and last name during the Colosseum ticket booking process. Upon issuing, the ticket becomes non-refundable.
