Carolyn, just wanted to say thanks so much for the newsletters, the discount code, and the link to book our trip. We reached out and Pedro in the London office put everything together for us. I preferred to use a service because I wanted to be sure we’d get reservations for the Glacier and Bernina Expresses. We are so looking forward to our trip!

My husband and I are heading to Europe at the end of May and have booked a 17 day train tour through Switzerland from the 17 June. I contacted them (Switzerland Travel Centre) after emailing you asking about tours and you suggested I contact them. I have been dealing with Pedro at the London office and he has been fabulous to deal with. We are looking forward to having a wonderful time when we are there and I have been reading all your newsletters that you have sent out as research for our trip.

The company (Switzerland Travel Centre) arranged all the rail tickets for us, and for the ones that were necessary, they booked the seats on the trains. Accommodation was all part of the package. We liked that we had a bit of flexibility with the accommodation and weren’t locked into just one hotel in each location. The game changer for us was that we could add extra nights in certain places. We would definitely recommend booking a rail package with Switzerland Travel Centre.
