Review summary
The pre-cruise Swiss excursion (5 days) was truly excellent, including the Glacier Express train. Viking did an excellent job overall of managing the cruise; the staff was outstanding. Hotels in Zurich and Paris were good hotels but not convenient for visiting sights. Zermatt was a lot of fun. The pre-cruise Swiss excursion guide (Charles) was excellent. Guides on the river cruise portion for the most part were ordinary. Management of time by the guides on the tours was not very good. Viking cruises are expensive so you expect top quality. That was not the case about 30% of the time. Some of the wine tasting were truly sub-par, not worth the money spent on the excursions. The Versailles excursion was way overpriced. Should have cost 1/2 of what we paid for what we saw and did. The river cruise had only 4 hours of scenic cruising, the rest was very mundane. Once again, the Viking staff was truly outstanding.Embarkation
