What people love about Switzerland Tours from Zurich
- Switzerland’s Lakes, Mountains & Rails
Our tour guide was amazing and a lot of fun. Ted made the trip! Everything was above board and exceeded our expectations. Not that we had many! We look forward to our next adventure with Tours of Distinction.
- 5 Day Zurich including Lake ferry, Cable Car, Mount Rigi, Grindelwald and Interlaken
The tour is real amazing and unforgettable ?
- 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.
