An amazing tour of Switzerland
Switzerland

May 11 - May 24, 2025
Our trip to Switzerland was nothing short of AMAZING! We worked months in advance with a planner who helped us come up with a custom made itinerary full of adventure and to fit our budget. As our travel time approached the original planner had left the company, but Valentine made a smooth transition helping us make small tweaks and answering all our questions. We were so grateful for being set up with the Swiss Travel Pass as it allowed us to travel freely by train, boat, bus, cable cars and even gave us free admission to museums in Zurich as well as Chateau de Chillon in Montreux. Valentine provided us with the special vouchers we needed for certain things that were not included in the pass, such as our visits to Schilthorn, Rochers-de-Naye and for priority seating on the Gornergrat panoramic train to visit the Matterhorn. A highlight of the trip was our E-bike tour of Lauterbrunnen and Valley of 72 Waterfalls. Cuba was our tour guide for the day and he did an excellent job taking us along on the bike paths at a pace that allowed us to enjoy the stunning views of the valley and mountains. Seeing the Trummelbach Falle as part of this tour was an added delight! Each day we built in enough time to really enjoy the places we were visiting and exploring. Hiking was spectacular coming down Rigi Kulm to Weggis and hiking up above Oeschinen Lake. We also decided to hike from Stechelberg to Lauterbrunnen after visiting Schilthorn -Piz Gloria. This hike was very easy on a paved trail. Another fun excursion we experienced was riding the Chocolate Train out of Montreux. The day featured tours of cheese, a castle, and chocolate at Cailler factory. I highly recommend having a cup of hot cocoa at Cailler! It was the best I ever had even after all the chocolate samples! We enjoyed having all our lodging close to train stations on travel days and each place was close restaurants, stores and a Coop was always near by for picking up snacks for hiking. Every place had friendly people working reception, were clean, comfortable and provided breakfast. Switzerland is a beautiful country with lovely people. We are so grateful to have visited and will treasure the memories.
Hotel Reviews
The staff at reception were friendly, knowledgeable and willing to help us with exploring the area on our first days in Switzerland. Our room was very clean and the breakfast was perfect for starting our days.
As a family of three adults traveling together our lodging was spacious and provided all the room we needed.
A great place for a family of 3 adults to stay. We had plenty of room. Seeing the Matterhorn from our balcony was an added bonus!
This was a nice hotel located close to the lake and walking trail. As a family of 3 adults we had to checkout two rooms, but this worked out fine for us.
Located on a quiet street and still close to walk to downtown and lake area.
Activity Reviews
A great way to tour and experience Interlaken and Lauterbrunnen!
Our travel pass helped us travel Switzerland with ease. It’s great because the travel pass is more than just a train pass. It includes access to ride boats, buses, trams and visit museums. It also gives you discounts for other activities.
We were blessed to visit in a clear beautiful day. The views hiking from the top of Rigi to Weggis were spectacular!
