What people love about Switzerland Tours for Seniors
- Contrasts of Switzerland
The tour guide picked people she liked and hung around them although she did not speak to everyone other than tour info. She walked very fast like she was in marathon and people had problems keeping up to her. She misleading and assumed things about people without speaking with them. She did not care about some people. At one point the group left us and we did know where they went. She also stuck in away from the others and spoke to rest of the people with her back to us; in other words segerated us from the others. I spoke to her and she quickly changed things so we could sit with others. I will be writing Trafalgar about this when time for me is available. However, Trafalgar should know about this. We consider her a poor tour guide and requires more training. She is assumtive with a poor attitude about people that are slower than others. She does not treat all with respect.
- Magical Switzerland (Classic)
Tour was expensive and cost could have been reduced by excluding most or all of the meals for other better options.The room in Lucerne for a single traveler was very claustrophobic and unpleasant.I felt like i was in jail.Train menu should have been optional.Christmas dinner with turkey was good except for the under cooked turkey which was disappointing.Meals were not Muslim friendly neither were the gift chocolates.Totes provided are a nice touch and Sarah is a dedicate passionate person and loved her the most.Without her politeness,added sweet touches,care, dedication and information your would not have been so successful.They could have saved up on unnecessary drinks,wines and meals that were too long and boring waste of time.Tour was expensive, cost should have been much less minus all of that.
- Spectacular Switzerland
Great trip! Well organized…would definitely recommend Globus.
