Travel Review: Tour of Italy & Switzerland, Lucerne, Interlaken, Cinque Terre, Chianti, Lake Como, Chocolate Making Class

Our trip to Switzerland and Northern Italy could not have been better planned by our travel agency and their representative. We had been to Italy before and had visited most of the major cities and sites but had never been north of Milan. Having never vacationed in Switzerland we thought it would be a good idea to combine the two and that’s exactly the trip our travel agency provided us.

Our overnight stays included Zurich, Lucerne, Interlaken, Lake Garda, Radda in Chianti & Lake Como. Day trips and activities were planned from each stop with enough rest time in between for us to recharge. 

We’re not fond of big chain hotels and expressed our interest in staying in smaller boutique style accommodations located within walking distance of major sites. Our hotels ran the gamut from a palazzo in the Chianti and a Grand Hotel in Interlaken to amazing resorts on Lake Garda and Lake Como.

All the drivers and guides who took care of us were experienced, professional and a joy to spend time with. It was obvious from day one our travel agency had really listened to us regarding the type of vacation we were looking for and had gone above and beyond in providing exactly that. They contacted us numerous times to make sure everything was going well and provided us with a 24/7 phone number which we could use to contact them if we had any questions or concerns.

The agency even took the time to book all our dinner reservations in advance based on our requests. They provided us with confirmations for all activities and a detailed itinerary.

We would definitely recommend this company to friends and family and would not hesitate to use their services again when we return to Italy and/or Switzerland.
