A great Swiss tour experience!

Published on Oct, 2024

We loved this tour! Great choice of beautiful mountain destinations, charming hotels and restaurants that offered local cuisine. Our guides Gabriella and Leo were so personable, knowledgable, and fun to be with. They went the extra mile to make sure everyone was taken care of. Our small group let us be flexible and so it did not feel like a cookie-cutter tour. Going by train like the locals a plus too. Thanks, ECHO!

Magical Switzerland

Published on Oct, 2024

Echo Rails and Trails did not disappoint! Our guide was exceptional in every way possible; from providing interesting historical information about the region to guiding us through trains, buses, boats and more trains keeping to a busy schedule! The tour was well organized and customized to accommodate everyone’s individual needs.. Hotel accommodations were lovely and the food a culinary delight. Switzerland is indeed a magical place to visit with soaring mountains, rich history and beautiful scenery.

Wonderful

WOW! What an adventure! Switzerland is a beautiful country and Andrea has put together a awesome small group train voyage through the picturesque mountains and charming cities. Two nights in every city gave us a no rush time to view the sights and explore. Top notch hotels, excellent choice of restaurants and transported luggage a huge bonus. Amazing, once in a lifetime experience.

A Magical Switzerland Experience

Published on Oct, 2024

Our 8 day Echo Rails and Trails was truly a Switzerland Experience. Andrea Caspani, our guide, flawlessly planned and organized this trip with love and passion for his country which allowed us to experience Switzerland through his eyes. We were constantly surrounded by beauty! From the iconic Matterhorn, Jungfrau, the unbelievable beauty of the Grosse Scheidegg Pass, Staubbach Falls in Lauterbrunnen, to Lake Lugano, Lake Como and Lake Lucern were all unbelievable. The sounds of the Alp horns, cow bells, post auto bus horns all added to the experience. Andrea encouraged us to try local wines, beers, introduced us to Aperol Spritz, cheese fondue, fondue chinoise and took us to his favorite Gelato Bar. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Switzerland. Andrea shared with us everything he loves about Switzerland, making this experience one we will always remember. Anyone planning a Switzerland vacation should look no further than Echo Rails and Trails!!!!

Fantastic Swiss Train Tour!

Published on Oct, 2024

What a wonderful time we had on our Grand Tour of Switzerland with Echo Rails & Trails. The scenery was simply spectacular at every turn. The Echo Rails itinerary provided the opportunity to explore Switzerland using all forms of public transportation which worked very well together – panoramic trains, normal trains, busses, trams, funicular, cog-wheel trams, cable cars, boats, etc. Our guides, Gabriella and Leo, did a terrific job of coordinating the group while taking into consideration everyone’s individual needs and preferences. They were knowledgeable, professional, and fun to be with. We learned a lot and experienced many things we would have missed had we been traveling on our own. Echo Rails & Trails handled everything very professionally -- from the original contact with Monika months ago to answer all our questions, to our tour kickoff meeting with Andrea, and finally the tour itself with our excellent guides. The small group format worked very well, and meeting and sharing the journey with our fellow travelers was an added plus.
