Loved Switzerland…
Just back from a terrific 8 day rail holiday to Switzerland.
Very nice hotel (Pilatas), a short commuter train ride from beautiful Lucerne.
(Lovely food and staff.)
We were very lucky with weather and all the different mountain views were simply stunning.
Our TM (Shawn) was outstanding - friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, patient and resourceful.
We paid extra for First Class on the journeys to and from St Pancras.
This included a Eurostar upgrade and was not extortionately priced; was well worth it for the LONG first and last day's travel!
I could go-on but, as you may guess, we really enjoyed this tour - and plan on doing more with Railtrail when we can.
Big thanks to Shawn - hope he will be our TM again! - and to Marie, in Leek.

Thank you for your fantastic review!
We’re delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your Swiss rail holiday — Lucerne and the surrounding mountains really are breathtaking, especially when the weather is on your side.
It’s wonderful to know that Shawn made such a positive impact on your trip. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words — he’ll be absolutely thrilled. We’re also pleased Marie was able to help make everything run smoothly from the start.
Great choice upgrading to First Class too — it really does make those longer travel days that bit more comfortable.
We’d love to welcome you on another Railtrail holiday soon!

First Class booking experience!
As is the norm with Railtrail , the booking experience was superb - beautifully handled as usual by Marie.
Even after a few slightly complicated changes to the travel arrangements by me, the final balance matched up so all ready to go.
I sincerely hope that I can follow up with another 5 star rating AFTER the holiday?
