What people love about Switzerland Tours in May
- Contrasts of Switzerland
The tour was excellent. Our tour guide, Agnas, was excellent. She was very informative, sweet , and accomodating.
- Spectacular Switzerland
We booked a Globus tour to Switzerland via Tour Radar. The overall process was surprisingly easy. They provided many options for tours (with descriptions and reviews) so we were able to choose the one that was right for us. Tour Radar guided us through everything we needed to do via email and their website messaging. We will use Tour Radar again.
