What people are saying about Zurich

Our trip today was amazing! Pedro and Ping were our tours guides and they couldn’t have been better, Pedro was very clear when he spoke and gave good instructions and made sure everyone understood what was happening. He was funny and full of energy which makes a fantastic tour guide! I highly recommend

Plenty to see and experience on the journey. The guide was very informative. The tour struck the right balance between travel and free time, ensuring sufficient and regular breaks in the journey but not having too much time to waste in some of the smaller locations where there was less to see.

Really enjoyed tour Value for money Great directions I have used three different tour company’s on this trip to Europe and find “ get your guide “ to be the best I all all I will use in Australia!?

Fun trip with amazing guide Monica. While Jungfraujoch may not be the tallest Mt in Switzerland, the sights and experiences at the ‘Top of Europe’ were highlights of our holiday.
