What people love about Switzerland Tours for Seniors
- Contrasts of Switzerland
Well coordinated and tour director was fabulous. Wonderful way to see the beauty of Switzerland but would have liked an additional layover day in Lake Geneva.
- Spectacular Switzerland
A lot of exciting adventures!
- Magical Switzerland (Classic)
This trip was more than I expected and I am so grateful I was part of it. The highlights of my trip was seeing snow for the first time and visiting the Matterhorn. When we were going up to see it I couldn’t believe the beauty of it and I took amazing pictures and actually cried. I promised myself I will take my love ones there one day. I would recommend this destination to everyone. We had a variety of different ages on this trip and everyone enjoyed themselves. I will definitely recommend it to someone who has never seen snow and someone who would enjoy seeing The Matterhorn.
