What people love about Christmas & New Year Tours from Zurich
- Switzerland and Italy with Amalfi Coast
Firstly, I will absolutely book with them again. Daily check-ins and confirmations of drivers coming and where to be etc were beyond expectations. They made a custom trip and found the best value hotels in every city and supported our independent trip amazingly. Guides and transfers were great and any time I had a question they answered within minutes! Highly recommended.
- Switzerland All-in-one
We had a family group of six that did this tour in May 2024. Our guide, Vitalii,was fantastic. His formal education is in history and that was very apparent with his wealth of knowledge. The schedule for the tour was excellent and allowed us to experience a lot of sites in an efficient manner. Several times we were able to visit an attraction when very few people were there with the large tour buses showing up as we were leaving. I would definitely use this company for future tours
- Switzerland and Italy
We had a fantastic time We had a fantastic time. Everything was organised perfectly. Hotels were in great locations and transport to and from hotels was excellent. Communication through Whatsapp was great. We would like to mention that our local tourguide in Venice (Denise) was the best. All in all a fantastic holiday and we willl book withh Tourradar again.
