Amazing Switzerland Alpine Lakes & Scenic Trains Wendy, WA, Australia, Sep 2025
A good tour. Damiano was a good tour director, was very helpful when we got stuck in Milan after our train to Zurich was cancelled due to flooding. Got to Zurich but again missed the first day of the tour. Some hotels were disappointing. The meals together were OK nothing special. Thought we should of had professional guides in some cities instead of ...read more Damiano being guide. His English is ok but maybe a guide would of been better.
Spectacular Scenery Alpine Lakes & Scenic Trains Ros and Gayle, Qld, Australia, Sep 2025
The highlight of this tour was the trip on the Bernina Express. The scenery was 'wow' factor around every corner. The tour was very well organised and ran smoothly. The bus driver, Enzo, was an incredibly careful driver, especially as some of the roads were very high, with difficult bends. The main guide, Dario and local guides were all excellent. ...read more The hotels were of superior quality. As a suggestion, it would have been preferable to have one less day (3 night stay) in Lake Maggiore and instead stay one night at Lake Como, as we drove straight past and only caught glimpses of the Lake.
The visit to the cheese farm before reaching Lake Maggiore should be reviewed. It was a little disorganised and too long, although in fairness, it was their first time in hosting tours. The conclusion of the tour in Lucerne meant that all passengers had the additional cost of taxis to Zurich, for the flight home, as Lucerne does not have an international airport. Perhaps the tour could have terminated in Zurich, were it commenced.

Beautiful sights in Switzerland and Austria The Best of Austria & Switzerland George, VIC, Australia, Sep 2025
We had a great time doing our own thing in Germany Rhine Falls, and part of Austria. We then joined Globus for their tour from Vienna to Lucerne, which was very well planned and most enjoyable. Zermat and The Matterhorn were exceptional as part of the Globus tour; and the performance at the Musikverein in Vienna was to die for.
