5.00It you like trains and want to visit Switzerland, this is the group. We had nine days with a wonderful guide and rode the fun and efficient trains around Switzerland to see lots of beautiful lakes, mountains and valleys. The hotels and dinners were wonderful. Lots of thought has been put into the itinerary so that every day is a special day. Your luggage is moved for you every couple of days. Train travel is on first class cars.
