TESTIMONIALS

"This was an amazing trip in an amazing country. Incredible vistas, well planned
activities, great accommodations and wonderful food. Everything was first class.
The guides, Andrea, Marta and Andreas, were exceptional. They were very
knowledgeable and friendly, always going the extra mile to make sure everyone
was having a great time and that the trip was running smoothly. I would highly
recommend this trip which is a great value."
Ron H.
"I never would have figured out how to get around Switzerland by myself! I am so
beyond happy I booked a tour with Echo Trails. My best friend, sister and I all
went on the tour. We had the best Swiss tour guides Monica and Andreas. They
were so knowledgeable and engaged. We took trains, boats and buses and we saw so
many things in a week! We never could have seen or done all that we did without
the tour and our guides. We loved Echo Trails and are so happy we chose to use
them."
Jenna L.
"We have traveled to Europe many times, but this was the first trip we booked
with a tour group and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. There
was no way we could have done so much in a limited time without ECHO’s
scheduling expertise. The guides were extremely helpful, knowledgeable and
simply delightful people. The entire experience was wonderful."
Donna
"My husband and I had a wonderful vacation on the Echo Rails and Trails tour. We
loved the boats, trains, cable cars and cogwheel trains of the beautiful Swiss
Alps. Suzanne and Rene are great, enthusiastic guides and all the other guests
were friendly and warm. Because of the small size of our group, the guides were
prepared to customize the itinerary at times to fit different interests. The
restaurants were lovely and the hotels were nice and clean and well located. It
was a fun filled week of active travel with gorgeous mountain views and
interesting sites. We learned so much and now wish the state of California would
bring in a thousand Swiss engineers to build some tunnels!"

Captivating hike through the Alps
Ezra was an amazing guide through the vastness of the Alps! He met us at the
Lucerne train station and kept us engaged from the moment we got picked up until
the end of our time together. Ezra was super knowledgable and in sync with his
surroundings, adding a whole new layer of depth to our hike. I so appreciated
his attention to detail and commitment to making our hike amazing! Thanks so
much!

An incredible Day on Mt Rigi, Queen of the Alps.
Our guide Ezra was a joy to be with. It is obvious that he thoroughly enjoys
what he does and is passionate about the beauty of Switzerland. He is very
knowledgeable but fun! My sister & I are in our late 60’s early 70’s so most
likely slower than younger folks. Ezra was patient and gave us plenty of breaks.
And the views!! Fantastic! We highly recommend this trip and others Echo offers.
You will not be disappointed!

10 STARS
I Wish I Could Give it 10 Stars!!! It was the most amazing 2 weeks I have ever
had. It far exceeded my expectations. The venues were amazing, the scheduling
was spot on, the reserved 1st class train accommodations were out standing and
of course Switzerland is beyond amazing. I can’t say enough about our guides.
Our entire group just fell in love with them. I can’t imagine anyone could do
more or a better job than they did. Most of us had tears in our eyes when we had
to say good by. They make a great team. Again an amazing experience and you can
be sure I will recommend Echo Rails and Trails to anyone that asks, I may even
do it again??.

Spectacular Views
Our private tour of the Alps was an incredible experience! Our guide, Livia, met
us at the train station and led us on an excellent adventure tailored to our
wishes. After a train ride and short bus ride, we ascended a mountain on a cable
car. We hiked along trails, visited a cheese making farm and ate an authentic
Swiss lunch surrounded by mountains. The scenery was unbelievable, from snow
capped mountains to beautiful waterfalls. Livia was very accommodating and
friendly, making our tour even more enjoyable!

Walk through country side next to Lake Lucerne.
Amazing views. Tour guide was fantastic. Very informative and helpful. Despite
finishing the walk early, Ezra took us through "Old Town" and showed much of the
history and area to help my wife and I understand the area.

Journey of a Lifetime
Embarking on the 12-day Grand Rail Tour of Switzerland from Lucerne to Zurich
was an experience that transcended the boundaries of a typical vacation. The
tour began in the charming city of Lucerne and set the stage for the adventure
that lay ahead. The panoramic views from the trains were extraordinary with
landscapes varying from beautiful valleys to towering peaks, each more
breathtaking than the last. The journey through the iconic Swiss Alps was
magnificent. Our guides were exceptional. They were multi-lingual (very
proficient in English), very engaging, and provided local expert perspectives on
the various sites, cities, and villages that we visited. They were flexible and
provided some options for the various daily activities and handled all of the
logistics (including luggage transfer, which was a huge plus!). In order to take
full advantage of all of the sites and scenes you need to be in reasonably
active shape and able to walk on average 10,000 steps per day (sometimes on
hilly, uneven ground). Overall, this 12-day tour was an excellent way to
experience all that Switzerland had to offer. The combination of stunning alpine
scenery, world-famous trains, luxury accommodations, and expert guides made it a
journey of a lifetime.

Perfect Guided Hiking in the Engadine Valley of the Swiss Alps
Thanks to Alpenwild and their first-rate guides, Louis and Sophie, for the
fantastic hike from St. Moritz to Italy. I had never been to the Alps before,
and I had never heard of villages like Soglio and Malaga, nor the Engadine
Valley or Bregalia. Everything was spectacular and I couldn’t have asked for
more from either Alpenwild, their guides or Switzerland itself. Well worth the
money!!!
