The Grand Train Tour of Switzerland-Top Attractions was an expertly planned trip. Switzerland Travel Centre was very responsive to any questions I had. They even quickly provided new travel documents when I experienced flight disruptions that caused delays in my travel. They provided a clear itinerary that was easily followed throughout my trip especially since I was traveling solo. I would highly recommend this tour. The cities visited as part of this tour were the perfect representation of Switzerland.Show more
