SwitzerlandNewest Review: ... want to end this on a negative so I'll move on. The only cheap thing that I found in Switzerland compared to other places in Europe was the petrol. It's well worth spending the money though as Switzerland has alot to offer. Generally the people in the German speaking section are friendlier than those in the French speaking sections. It is about an 8 - 10 hour drive from Calais to ... more |

I am writing a review which will focus mainly on the ski village of Grindlewald in Switzerland, but I will also be mentioning Luzurn, Zurich and Geneve.

Last year i went on a tour around Europe.I visited seven countries and i do have to say that Switzerland was the worst,and it ruined my holiday a little.It was couch tour and it was with Contiki, but i can't remember because that was how horrible it was.

I am British Born black female and ...

We wanted something a little bit different when we went on our honeymoon last year. We were fed up with the standard European beach resort full of other English people. However, we were also somewhat limited in budget; we didn't have three grand to blow on a mega holiday after paying for the wedding. In the end we found a 3 centre Glacier Express rail tour in Switzerland offered by Crystal Holidays. This was 10 days split between 3 resorts all half board. It promised a relaxing holiday with great scenery and the opportunity to see several different places. Another key thing about this tour was that it was only semi-organised. This meant that we would ...
