The whole tour was excellent and we do not think it could be made any better. We had a marvellous time. Everything really excellent. The hotels were very nice and in good positions. Taking us over the St Bernard Pass and a lovely stop in Chamonix on the way back made everything perfect. The whole tour was very relaxing, enjoyable and beautiful. Yet again we have had a wonderful time travelling with MRI. The tour made our honeymoon even more special. After many tours with MRI I can never fault your choice of hotels. Wonderful excursions and scenery in Switzerland. Plenty of time to relax and enjoy Switzerland before the Grand Prix. We have seen and done so much in such a short time. A wonderful break. Excellent travelling conditions. Plenty of coach stops and easy to get to Monza. Hotel Plinius very satisfactory. Guide and coach drivers brilliant. Could not fault anything on the tour.
