Excellent journeys throughout with great guide, very informative.
Very efficiently organised, well planned itinerary with plenty of free time, friendly and helpful tour leader. Accommodation clean and comfortable, food very good and, considering it was Switzerland, very reasonably priced. Altogether a thoroughlu enjoyable and memorable holiday, many thanks.
Our 10th trip with GRJ and one of the best with great scenery and interesting places to visit.
Excellent Tour excellent place to visit nice train journeys Kim Tour Manager Excellent
This really was a 'Great Rail Journey!' The organisation behind the trip was perfect. Also it required a tour manager who was able to guide the group to the right place at the correct time. All the panoramic Swiss trains were a perfect way to view the scenery. A perfect view of the Matterhorn, on a spectacular blue sky day, that I'll remember for ever.
Overall an excellent holiday - our tour manager Ian Hague did an excellent job in getting all members of the group in the right place at the right time - thanks Ian. All hotels were very nice and provided everything that we required. Our only criticism, was the excursion on the Bernina Express to Poschiavo - there was only time there for an "extended lunch break" and not much time to explore - having said that Poschiavo did not seem to have much to offer and maybe a different destination should be considered - however the journey there was spectacular. On the return from Poschiavo, we stopped off at St. Moritz, and again there was very little time to visit the town - forty minutes total I believe.
Everything about the holiday, except the French Rail Strike, and even that was well managed
Good selection of places to visit & stay.
This holiday totally met our expectations in relation to first class rail travel, hotels (with the exception of the transit hotel in Strasbourg), food and outstanding tour mangement. Our tour manager was outstanding in terms of authority mixed with humour and understanding of the needs of individual members of the group. She provided interesting options for activities on our free days, and was at the top of her game throughout. Scenery was breathtaking and will remain with us forever.
The overall experience was excellent. I would have given 5 star, the reason being why not is that when we arrived we weren't kept in a group so that we could all have been introduced first, before we made our way to check in.
