Recently I had to cancel our train trip through Italy and Switzerland. I was able to obtain a refund on all the Italian train fares but no changes or refunds are permitted by Swiss rail. Swiss train fares are very high by world standards and while I appreciate the terms are non refundable, Swiss rail gives you no opportunity to purchase a refundable/changeable pass. Take care when purchasing a Swiss rail pass as plans can change.

No issues here so have no concerns that you might be left stranded or that your guide doesn't speak your language or that the tour is somehow altered or changed. However at the price my partner and I were surprised at lack of basic historical facts so check the resume of guide if you are a stickler for detailed knowledge of experiences in this tour.

Chris has organized amazing trip around central Switerland for our VIP family of 5. He paid attention to every detail and was extremely helpful. Without him, planning this trip could be very problematic. He also made a surprise for girls' birthdays offering them customized chocolate. He is also very knowledgeable and kind person. Highly recommended!
