This charming French city is a great place to pause your journey. With a captivating blend of German and French influences, the quaint Old Town here is a medieval wonder, dominated by the spectacular Notre Dame Cathedral with its famous astronomical clock. At Christmas, the city comes alive with cheerful lights and a fantastic traditional Christmas market - one of the oldest and most iconic in the whole of Europe.

It was a wonderful holiday, well organised but there were times when we had to rush to catch some of the trains. Long walk to the hotel. Tour manager was excellent. It would have been nice to know the cost of the extra trips & availability before leaving England

The walk between the rail stations in Paris was awful. Big crowd hard to keep together, cobbles hard to pull case over, poor area to walk through in terms of safety. Getting vegetarian meals in the hotel was hard although I stated this when booking. I felt my room and particularly the en-suite were small compared with others even having paid a single occupancy supplement.

This holiday was absolutely fabulous and so well organised with lovely hotels especially the Hotel Alpenblick in Wilderswill. The area and mountains around Interlaken were beautiful. I would recommend this holiday to anyone.

A well organised trip to the top of the spectacular Jungfrau. We stayed in a traditional Swiss chalet style hotel. Couldn't fault the hospitality. Our tour manager made sure the trip ran smoothly and was on hand for advice if needed. Finally we went with a great group of people. It all added up to fabulous week away.
