"Perfect weather, very good description, no East-West thematic focus like we experienced in 1991. We were able to tell our Swiss guests a lot more, but didn't have to keep saying "it wasn't like that". We are already thinking about when and with whom we will do this tour again. THANK YOU" Angela, Germany [Source: GetYourGuide] >> See more reviews...
