My husband and I went to Switzerland from St. Petersburg for a week. And although we reached the last minute with tickets and hotels, everything worked out (the husband bought the plane and hotels himself on the Internet, and AlpenTour bought only excursions and transfers) Upon arrival, we were met by a pretty girl Irina (guide), took us to the hotel and even on our At the request, in addition to the program, she organized a sightseeing tour of Zurich, although it was already December 31st. During the trip, we learned more about the country than the Swiss themselves probably know. And besides, a number of author's excursions were organized for us. During one of them, we received a master class from the master chocolatier and made our own sweets, another excursion was in the footsteps of Sherlock Holmes to the waterfall where he fought with Moriarty, there was a tour of Suvorov places where we saw the house in which Suvorov slept during the famous crossing the Alps. We were able to see all this only because we went individually. People on bus tours see only superficially and very quickly. so for example the castle, which took us 2.5 hours to inspect, people from the bus were given without a guide in 35 minutes. All our guides were very polite with us and helped in all situations, from shopping in stores to finding souvenirs for my collection (I collect bells). Therefore, we recommend that everyone travel only individually! Don't let the bus drivers ruin your vacation! : )
