From start to finish we enjoyed our ten day trip through Switzerland. We were traveling with our 14 year old grandson and Valentine really thought about him as she planned the trip. We all appreciated the accommodations that we had in each town we visited, and all the choices for activities.
Thank you Valentine for a memorable experience!!

We were there during hot weather and our room on the 16th floor baked. The air conditioner was poor and it was situated so it didn’t cool the entire room. The patio was oven like due to the hard work of the air conditioner.

A sunny, calm day with Ryan our guide. There were only 5 in our group which made it personable. We learned a lot about Switzerland from Ryan.

We enjoyed the entire day. The chocolate factory was fun and all the chocolate appreciated. The Gruyère castle was a beautiful setting.

At the end of the day our train was delayed due to a tree down. We were told they were sending a bus to take us back to Montreux. FINALLY we got back 3 1/2 hours later. (20 minutes from the station!) BUT we made a good friend during that time, so thanks to Nicolas we now have a good story to share!
