Very disappointed that we were left to our own devices after the trip to the jungfrau. Nowhere near as good as the GLACIER Express holiday I did 18 months ago.

I travelled on this trip in February, and was the first time I had done anything like this before. Therefore I have no other trip to compare with. However for me this was a great trip. Everything worked well and our tour guide Wendy was there to make sure everything worked well for us. The balance for organised trips and free time worked well for me, giving me chance to explore at my own pace. The main Hotel for the trip was very good, however the Hotel in Strasbourg was rather bland but nonetheless comfortable. My only cause for concern was the walk across Paris from the Eurostar Terminal to the Swiss Rail connection where I thought the group was left vulnerable, and although there was a coach connection on the return journey part of the tour, we were still left to cross several busy intersections in Paris. Personally I would have been happy to pay extra for a smaller group maybe of 20 rather than the 30 in our group. Nevertheless, I think the trip was great and would highly recommend

This appears a one trick pony compared to a lot of GRJ holidays. The hotel was good based on a room upgrade, the meals were all inclusive with only one poor offering. However this did not spoil our holiday due to so much being made available in this amazing country. If you have a sense of adventure you will not regret it.

Poor value tour. Tour guide was not forthcoming with information. Better option would be to get to Interlaken, book decent hotel and go to tourist information to book relevant trips. Enjoy yourself at your own pace and cheaper cost!
