We spent 4 amazing days in Switzerland with Alps Explorers, and it was honestly one of the best trips we’ve ever had. From the very start, they put together a brilliant, well‑planned itinerary that covered everything we wanted to see and more. We enjoyed beautiful cycling around Zug, scenic bike rides up into the mountains, and explored all the wonderful sights of Lucerne and the surrounding areas. Every location was carefully chosen so we got the best views and real feel for the region. One of the real highlights was our day of hiking followed by a lovely barbecue — such a nice, personal touch that made the experience feel extra special and relaxed. The whole team was knowledgeable, friendly, and really helpful throughout. Nothing was too much trouble, and we always felt safe and well looked after. If you want to see Switzerland in an active, fun, and memorable way, look no further — we’d book again in a heartbeat!
