GREAT trip as guide. Worth every franc!! - I thought this tour was rather expensive. We have been on MANY tours in our time. I can tell you i would have paid twice as much if i had known how hard this would be to do my ourselves and how incredibly amazing Leighton was as a guide and human being. If anything, now that I’ve done the tour, I’d say it is underpriced. I am not sure i have words for how amazing this tour was. I can tell you i had no idea all it entailed; i was just going to the Matterhorn. Instead, i went on the tour of a lifetime. PS. You are lucky to have this guide.

Highlight of our vacation in Switzerland! - Our family had an amazing time! Incredible experience to see the Matterhorn and have the opportunity to walk through a glacier. The views of the Alps are breath taking. But what made this experience unforgettable was out tour guide Leighton. So knowledgeable about the history of Switzerland, so professional and just an amazing person. This was the highlight of our two week vacation in Switzerland!

Our trip to Switzerland - Lina was our trip coordinator from Tours of Switzerland. She was wonderful and gave us all of the information that we needed to have a wonderful time. Ray was our tour guide for the first of three tours we took with him. He was like part of the family. So easygoing and informative. We highly recommend this tour group and especially Ray :)
