What people love about Switzerland Tours for Seniors
- Spectacular Switzerland
Great trip! Well organized…would definitely recommend Globus.
This was my first time traveling with Insight. I was a little nervous has I was doing a twin share and traveling alone. Sue made sure everything went smoothly and that my roommate and I were ok with everything. I did all of the optional experiences, all of which were amazing. I loved the Sleigh Ride in St. Moritz, definitely worth the money. The highlight of the trip was definitely the Matterhorn optional experience. I never realized how amazing seeing the mountain up close would be. Everyone on the sold out coach went for this excursion. It was crazy, how cold it got and how much the altitude effected me. I felt like I was drunk. The Christmas Market in Montreaux was glorious. I could have spent days wandering through it. Overall one of the best trips I have ever done. I will definitely be traveling with Insight in the future.

Train is the only way to go for seeing Switzerland. Everything happened on time and the sightseeing was spectacular. The guide was excellent, funny and informative.
