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
I really enjoyed this tour. Vitally was really into the history of the country and was able to give detailed information and was able to answer our questions. He also made sure to let us know how to dress for the next day and what we would be doing. While this was primarely a city tour he did stop by a lake to let us walk around, take pictures and we could have swam if we wanted to. He and my friend love hiking and while I'm not huge fan of hiking, he always made sure that I was able to keep up, he told me where to place my feet when climbing on the rocks and he would often steady me so I wouldn't fall. HIGHLY recommend this tour. You WILL love all of it.
- Swiss and Italian Spotlight End Venice (9 destinations)
The entire trip was fantastic. The tour places were carefully crafted. The tour guides were fantastic. Overall we had a great time on the tour. The Hotels in some places were just average. Some days of the tour were really hectic, but over all I strongly recommend europamundo their service is fantastic and also the price is competitive
