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.
- Swiss Miracle
Our tour in Switzerland was incredible, thanks largely to our great tour guide, Vitaly. From the moment the journey began, Vitaly made sure everyone felt welcomed, engaged and enjoyed themselves, while also accommodating our needs. His deep knowledge of Swiss history, culture, and landmarks made every place we visited more interesting and helped us better understand the country and its heritage. If you’re visiting Switzerland, I highly recommend taking a tour with Vitaly to really experience the country. Vevey was the only stop that felt a little less interesting compared to the other great places we visited. Also, the tour package mentioned a free eSIM, but we didn’t receive one. The last hotel on the tour wasn’t as nice as the others, and the breakfast quality wasn’t great, but the location was excellent.
- Spectacular Switzerland
Great trip! Well organized…would definitely recommend Globus.
