Switzerland Tours

Our Cosmos Train Tour of Switzerland could not have been more enjoyable. Our tour director Fiorenza (Flo) was brilliant in providing detailed background to the scenery we were enjoying. Her instructions were clear so that no one kept the group waiting and all particular needs were remembered and catered for. Swiss trains are extremely comfortable. We were in First Class most of the time with luxurious panoramic windows to enjoy the snow covered Alps, the rushing mountain streams, the amazing ...read more viaducts and the cute Swiss villages dotted across the alpine terrain. The Swiss engineering which makes such a tour possible is incredible. Our hotels were very good with only one in Krienz below our standard. The breakfasts were always tasty with an extensive selection, and the included dinners much appreciated. Flo always directed us to somewhere for lunch with inexpensive but healthy options. In particular, Flo had a very positive influence over the group so that we travelled together very harmoniously, making our tour fun for everyone.

Perfect weather and blue skies made the most of our views of the Alps. We were concerned about the heights involved in the excursions but felt safe throughout the trip. Great company on the coach and made new friends to visit overseas. Best coffee ever and chocolates galore. Meals catered for everyone's taste and dietary needs. No problem with language.

Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Great bunch of Aussies, Americans and Malaysians. Our Insight tour director was amazing with a great cultural and knowledge base. Scenery was stunning and we were blessed with great weather. Be prepared for high cost of everything in Switzerland. Wonderful tour and all our trip was wonderful, organised by Hannah from Global journeys.

This was a very good tour of Switzerland. The pace was good, not too rushed and the tour guide Helen was excellent. The hotels were all very good and well positioned. All the places we stayed were interesting and the scenery was spectacular. One point to note though, Switzerland is quite expensive. Be prepared to pay about 50% more for food and drink than you would pay in Australia. My only criticism of this tour would be the coach. There were a few seats which did not have the Insight Vacations ...read more signature Business Class legroom. I would suggest these few seats were barely Premium Economy so at 6 foot 2 inches I had a couple of slightly cramped days on the coach. I suspect they use a smaller coach on this tour due to the narrow and winding roads taken on the tour. Otherwise Switzerland is a beautiful, safe and clean country, albeit a bit expensive.
