Asked on November 22nd, 2024On the Contrasts of Switzerland tour, it mentions visiting the highest peak Jungfraujoch but I don't see this listed in the itinerary specifically, could you confirm that this is part of the tour or something we can add on if it is not included.
- TrafalgarOperator•Written November 2024
Our sincerest apology, but on Trafalgar Tours end, visit to Jungfraujoch is no longer included on this adventure. We advised the TourRadar team to update their website itinerary to avoid misinformation like this. Nevertheless, this tour will have a must-see sightseeing to different places in Switzerland, which for sure you will enjoy.
