Judit – Hungary

A rich, well-organized program with lots of attractions. The boat trip was the best part.

Pragya – Sweden

It was a lovely day trip. Worth the money. Would have loved if we got a bit more time in Lugano which was the last stop. But it was understandable as the traffic was a bit busy as we entered Switzerland.
