Switzerland Tours and European Vacations

Our Fall Foliage Rail Tour in October is the perfect time of year to be there. The brilliant fall foliage, vivid colors of the flowers, and snow-capped alpine peaks against the green meadows full of cows, is amazing. Enjoy Switzerland without the crowds of summer!

Join our Christmas Market tour in early December and have fun finding locally crafted and handmade Christmas gifts for your family and friends. Have some mulled wine, delicious cookies and cakes, and listen to the church bells and Christmas carolers.

Our Spring Castles and Flowers Tour takes us from Germany, Austria, and Liechtenstein, to Switzerland's magnificent Alpine regions. See the meadows come alive with wildflowers and the waterfalls bursting with water.

Travels

If there is one country in the world that is ideal for vacationers, it's Switzerland! Switzerland's alpine scenery constantly changes from one magnificent vista to the next. Your rides include some of the following: scenic routes, panoramic cars, double-decker trains, tilting trains, ICE fast trains, cog wheel, funicular, trams and cable cars, electric trains, steam engines, bus, boats, and even horse and buggy rides!

Sights and Scenery

From your train or motor coach window, you will see awesome contrasts of majestic snow capped peaks, to gentle alpine meadows full of wild flowers. See the glaciers that fill the azure blue lakes and streams.

Visit famous Old-World cities where you can shop, visit museums, and see stunning architecture. Visit some of the most famous castles in the world, like the Castle of Gruyeres,Neuschwanstein and Hoenschwangau.

Experience the thrill of stopping high in the Alps at a small rail station with rustic alpine chalets. Their window boxes ablaze with vibrant colored flowers in full bloom. Waterfalls, lakes and 900 year old forests of greens, reds, oranges, yellows and rust, dot the rolling landscape.
