What people love about Switzerland Tours from Zurich
- Magical Switzerland (Classic)
This was my first time traveling with Insight. I was a little nervous has I was doing a twin share and traveling alone. Sue made sure everything went smoothly and that my roommate and I were ok with everything. I did all of the optional experiences, all of which were amazing. I loved the Sleigh Ride in St. Moritz, definitely worth the money. The highlight of the trip was definitely the Matterhorn optional experience. I never realized how amazing seeing the mountain up close would be. Everyone on the sold out coach went for this excursion. It was crazy, how cold it got and how much the altitude effected me. I felt like I was drunk. The Christmas Market in Montreaux was glorious. I could have spent days wandering through it. Overall one of the best trips I have ever done. I will definitely be traveling with Insight in the future.
- Contrasts of Switzerland
Guide was very knowledgeable and strong in many languages. The optional tours were great. Particularly the dinners created good interaction between the group and the Matterhorn was incredible. We missed the ice caves and would recommend the guides are advised to show this. I also recommend this to be added as an included tour.
- Swiss Miracle
Everything in this tour was great! We (me, my mom, and other tour member) just couldnt ask for more. Our Guide and Driver (Vitali) was just super amazing. We all love him. He's just beyond for being a guide but he is also becoming our friend and family. For Hotel, in my opinion all the selected hotels are good, quiet, clean, and spacious enough. Not a luxury one (as it's only 4*) but comfortable enough, really. Here are my day to day impression about Vitali throughout the journey: Day 1 As soon as we met Vitali, we know that he is punctual, fun, experienced, and caring Day 2 As we visited Lucerne, Vitali is just so knowledgable regarding the history of the city. He also cares a lot for toilet, give us some space for pictures (ask for it) or he could also take tons of pics for you. Most importantly he tag good spot for pictures for you. Day 3 He plan for the best by rearranging the schedule based on the weather forecast, recommend good food, cared so much for eldery on the track difficulity, prepared for umbrella for the quests. And even genuinly get back to the car to get umbrella for you. Day 4 He answered to a wide range of question about Switzerland and informed all preparation you need for the next day weather. He is just always been so interesting and never been boring and he tried his best not to waste our time by leaving us and pick us up at the closest place to the attraction area, he will never made you travel a lot to the parking area. Day 5 Weather doesnt stop us (it was raining, windy, and freezingly cold), he tried to keep everything on schedule. We chose the CLOY option in Day 5, throughout the excursion, he know precisely every CLOY scene location. Today he made the tour more fun by giving us some QnA. Day 6 Eventhough it's a free day but he gave us complete information regarding the transport system in Montreux and Vevey. And places to visit. Day 7 Today he gave lots of historical information regarding chillon castle, Lavaux Vineyards, and Geneva. Eventhough the schedule is pack, but managed to keep everything on schedule so thus we have free time to explore Geneva city and do shopping for souverniers.
