Tour: 10D7N Grand Train Tour of Switzerland 1 Oct to 9 Oct 2019 Tour Manager: 王家福（Jiafu) My wife and I went for the above tour and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Our tour manager Jiafu is very hardworking, resourceful, caring and professional. He provided excellent services to the group throughout the trip. We will book our future trips with EU again and hope that Jiafu will again be the tour manager.

Tour: 10D/7N Grand Train Tour Switzerland plus 2N Dubai Date: 1-12 October 2019 Tour Manager: Wang Jia Fu 2 years ago we travel with EU Tours to Norway and on the first day 10 of us were lost by the irresponsible tour guide. We are glad that we decided to give EU a second chance and met with a totally different experience and in spite of having my luggage broken on the first move by the train porters and in spite of the unappetizing food we had been given and despite the sun-tanned Glacier Express (aka Sunshine Express to us now).... we applaud the efforts and dedication of Wang Jiafu who really made the big difference and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. We will like to have other opportunities to join Jiafu's led tours again. We truly believe that the tour manager really makes a huge impact on the success of the tour.

Tour : 10D7N Grand Train Tour of Switzerland + 2N Dubai Date : 01 - 12 Oct 2019 Tour Manager : Jia Fu My husband and I went on this tour and we had a wonderful time in Switzerland. Commuting was by train and sometimes by bus. We had to walk between hotel and train stations and walk to all the sightseeing locations. Although we did not have a tour coach to ferry us around, travelling on the Swiss trains was a comfortable and pleasant experience nonetheless. Our tour manager Jia Fu did a very good job in leading all 36 of us. He made sure that we were on time for all the train rides. He would diligently go round the cabins to make sure that everyone was ok. All the itineraries were carried out smoothly and at a relaxed pace. Hotel accommodation was good. But with regards to the meal plan (lunch and dinner) it would be good if guests were given the option to choose their preferred choice of meat for the main course. Nevertheless we did have an enjoyable vacation. All thanks to our very responsible tour manager Jia Fu who had put in a lot of hard work to make this trip a memorable and delightful experience for us. We will definitely choose EU Holidays for our future vacations.

My family and I went for the Grand Train Tour of Switzerland from the 1st to 12 October. Our tour manager was Wang Jia Fu. He was very witty, caring and knowledgeable. He would constantly tell us interesting stories about the country, get souvenirs for us, making sure we get the most out of the trip. He would also always remind us on the following day’s weather to make sure that we are in the right attire. In addition to normal tour manager responsibilities, he went an extra mile to make our trip as enjoyable as possible. For example, arranging a birthday cake for my mum which took us by surprise, buying us beer and wine to accompany our meals, and personally booking a coach for us from Zurich Airport to the train station so that we did not have to go through the trouble of handling our luggage (not part of the original tour package). This was our first tour with EU Holidays and I will definitely join EU Holidays for another tour again if it is led by Jia Fu.

Just completed our 10d grand train swiss tour with our wonderful tour leader (Ong Jia Fu aka Michael). He is definitely one of the most experienced and well- thought tour guide i ever seen. As we only joined the land tour and flew in earlier, he made the effort to contact us prior to our flight to answer any qns that we may have. Its not easy for a tour guide to plan everything beforehand esp with all the train rides and timing to make the whole trip smooth. This trip do not include any coaches or any other local guides. He self-handedly brief us on all the local attractions and history! At all times assuring us not to worry on the train timing and gave us ample time to take pictures/shopping/makan. Definitely will want to join tours guided by Jia Fu in the future and im sure the rest of the tour members share the same thoughts too. Will be sharing this good experience with friends! Well Done and thumbs up Jiafu!! Great selection of hotels/resorts by EU holidays (Rooms were quality, clean and comfortable). Unique train tour organised by EU holidays which is different from other group tours. It will be even better if theres additional stopover/ overnight in Bern for future itinerary.

I would like to compliment our tour manager Darien Tang for our switzerland trip 10 days on 06 - 15 September 2019. Darien has helped my friend arrange a doctor to the hotel. He waited and slept at lobby until 3am due to doctor came very late, i think the doctor came to hotel around midnight. He never complaint and very helpful. He already excess the tour manager duties.
