An amazing tour with spectacular views and great accommodation. The excursions and experiences on this tour were well beyond what my expectations were. Fresh snow on top of the Jungfrau was amazing as were the Trummelbach Waterfalls. Melinda was a fantastic tour guide who consistently went the extra mile to provide information and useful tips. Her efforts during all our touring to ensure an optimal experience for all guests were exceptional. I highly recommend this tour.

A great mix of guide led sightseeing and free time. Although first and last group dinners were not that good.

Fabulous tour Fabulous tour leader

Loved the tour, especially enjoyed the activities, cheese, Alphorn , beer and chocolate making.
The tour guide Melinda was very knowledgeable on all thing Swiss and couldn't have been more accommodating to the tour group.

I loved this tour, and it was exactly right for my travel style. The tour leader (Melinda) was really great - she provided a good mix of organised excursions with enough 'alone time' to ensure everyone's needs were met. I especially loved the cute and quirky hotels and the fact that they were all walking distance from 'the action'. Melinda took the time to get to know everyone as individuals and was very open to suggestions. I really enjoyed that level of flexibility...like "how about we hike down a couple of train stops". Bonus fun! :-)

This is not a tour for those with limited mobility of any kind as there is no porterage service to/from hotels, bags must be loaded on an off trains by tour members and the terrain is usually uneven. It is also not a tour to be combined with Blue Road's Vistas of Italy and Switzerland, as we did, as Mountain Valleys and Lakes visits many of the same Switzerland locations. Although the Swiss scenery is wonderful in both tours, we suggest only one be taken. If only one, our vote is for Vistas of Italy and Switzerland as porterage service is included.

Our Guide, Melinda, was excellent. The itinerary itself was well presented. Everything was well planned and executed.

Excellent tour happy to recommend to many people wanting to do this fabulous Backroad Tour.
Switzerland is a beautiful country and doing Backroad Tours you get to meet the locals and see and do a lot more in the small group and travel on a small bus.
Our tour leader and bus driver were supurb. Our Tour Leader Chiara was excellent in all areas I.e Professionalism, helpful, product knowledge, caring, customer service,friendly.

Fantastic scenery, great food and accommodation, a well-run tour

I love that the Group is small & all the people were very nice.

You are the Very Best Tour Company!!

Met great life time friends who clicked immediately. We were lead by Ed Ashe who was very caring and helpful and answered all our questions very concisely. The tour proceeded at a comfortable pace with time for ourselves as needed. We saw and did just about everything Switzerland offered, from cheese and chocolate making to beer sampling then to the roof top of Europe. The hotels chosen for our trip were exemplary with comfortable beds and delicious breakfasts.
Overall, a really good tour.

Amazing trip. We went to many beautiful places that were away from big cities but saw the cities as well. Highly recommended

Loved the village of Appenzell! And of course the Jungfrau annd nearby Trummelbach waterfall were spectacular. Also enjoyed the Alphorn maker. The Schweizerhof hotel in Bern was pretty special! Unfortunately it meant the next hotel in Wengen was a big disappointment. Our guide, Mel was extremely knowledgeable and very easy to listen to… she didn’t overload us with information, She interacted well with all the guests. So many great memories from the trip.

Fabulous tour!!!. Wonderful Tour Guide..

well, what can one say... they are the alps.

It ticked my boxes for travel

This was a fantastic itinerary! Beautiful scenery, lovely hotel choices with beautiful views. Great activity choices.

This trip really illustrates just how jaw droppingly stunning Switzerland really is. Highlight after highly.
