Best Walking Tour
This trip was so much better than the walking tour of Provence (which I enjoyed). There was a lot more walking, some of it quite strenuous. Taking the gondola in Zermatt and picnicking on the mountain (with the wine toted by our guide) was one of the highlights. Taking the train up to Jungfraujoch was quite exciting. But the best part, for me, was paragliding in Interlaken. Several of us did it, all but one for the first time, and it was amazing. Also, lunching at a mountain restaurant with an adjoining playground allowed me to use a trampoline for the first time. The whole trip was like a second childhood -- and with amazing scenery. I also lucked out with a small (just 13 people) group.
Our tour director, Julia Tenaglia, made this trip
Julia worked to give us a vacation beyond our dreams. Our walking companions were game for adventure. For example, three daring ones wanted to try hang-gliding in Interlaken. We all went to watch them land and share pictures. If we wanted to do an extra hike, Julie led us or put us on the right path. The FOOD! Wonderful little places Julie reservered for us. All of our trips with GoAhead have be led be talented people.
