Switzerland is beautiful and the Glacier Express ride is stunning. Disappointed that Strasbourg was cancelled a month before trip and replaced by a late arrival at Mulhouse. The main hotel in Tiefencastel lacks facilities such as a bar or separate lounge and although clean and welcoming is not of the standard I expected. Food is pleasant but somewhat repetitive and there is no choice given (except dietary requests). The wine served was not particularly pleasant. There is a very steep walk to the station (and no transport offered by hotel). There are no other bars or hotels in the village so evenings stop after dinner. Tour Guide, Demi, was very good. Some lovely places visited but we often arrived at or back at the hotels immediately before dinner and little or no time to shower or change. A pleasant trip but could be improved.

A fabulous experience, the trains were spot on time and the scenery was amazing. We had a full mix of weather, temperatures ranging from 25C to -4C. The trip was organised perfectly, the tour manager expertly keeping us fully informed and on track.
Well organised and very interesting.
Fantastic!
The trains are amazing. The views are amazing. The tour manager was amazing. What isn't so good is the information. There weren't enough details about how many trains the journey involved. Being an older lady it was difficult lifting my suitcase on to a security belt and getting on and off the many trains with a suitcase. A double decker train was the last resort. But it was a great experience.
WE enjoyed the holiday overall.
Enjoyed it very much. Amazing scenery.
My first solo trip so I was a little apprehensive but shouldn’t have worried. From first booking to arriving back in UK the process & guide were faultless.
Excellent holiday, tour guide was exceptional

Great trip, good company, excellent guide, hotels more than adequate and the Glacier Express was awesome in the sunshine.
very well organised trip. making the best of all locations and timescale. trains excellent.
It was a great experience apart from the hotel which was very basic, no choice of food, though what there was was plentiful. The mattress yin my room was so saggy that I had the most awful back. ache (never suffered before) Must be nice setting in summer when things are open and there is an area to sit in Sian was absolutely brilliant as Tour Manager and the train journeys were spectacular.
Just fantastic and perfect Sian was superb
There were three excursions included. The Bernina express was everything I expected, the visit to Arosa (even though by luxury minibus due to line maintenance) was a delight. The Glacier express was even better than I expected. The diversions on the return journey due to line maintenance were well handled and only caused a few hours delay in the end. The only reason for 4 stars not 5 was the amount of walking, complete with all own luggage, between stations in Paris, and the extremely steep hill between the hotel and the station, which was not fully advised in advance and was a strain for my partner.
Fab scenery.hotel base great Food lovely. Deborah was so organised as tour manager. And knowledgeable. All we wanted.
