My husband and I are taking a river Cruise from Basel Switzerland next summer.

We are considering taking a Trafalgar tour that lasts 8 days and consists of 3 diferent train trips through Swizerland with hotels some nights.

Has anyone done this type of trip or used Trafalgar tours?

Please let me know. 

Thanks

Have never been on a Trafalgar tour, but I traveled extensively on the Swiss train system.  It is excellent.

Thank you LuvMyLab; is it beautiful and worth the additional time and expense? This trip includes the Glacier Express to the Matterhorn, and stops at St. Moritz, Interlaken and Zermatt.  This will be our first trip to Switzerland. 

Our cruise takes us to Lake Lucerne (2 day land extension add on) so we will see that regardless.

@wonderfulworld Love your nickname!

I have used Trafalgar, although it was around 30-33 years ago. I remember them as a good tour company and have no negative memories of them. Back then, though, it was mostly traveling by a large bus. But I remember the company had us stay in very nice hotels, the drivers were very good, and the guide was great!

Please post of your experiences after your trip next summer!

We've taken quite a few Trafalgar tours and with the exception of one, (southern & western England)  have enjoyed all of them

We took an all Switzerland tour but I do not remember whether it was with Trafalgar or Globus.  We had just 1 afternoon train trip. (it was when we were in St. Moritz)  Switzerland is a beautiful country.  We will be in Lucerne (my favorite city) for a few days in December.

@wonderfulworld your river cruise sounds like the one I was looking at with Grand Circle Travel, with the add-on.  I don't know about Switzerland but heard that Lucerne is beautiful and the river cruise sounds delightful.  So excited for you and what a wonderful way to celebrate your husband's retirement.  Looking forward to hearing all about it.
