Has anyone been on the 11 day tour of Germany, Austria and Switzerland with Gate 1 Travel? It seems reasonably priced but I would like to get some feed-back from people who have actually done the tour. Any other suggestions for escorted tours would be appreciated as well. My sons (ages 19 and 23) and I plan to visit there this summer. They are avid hikers but I have some physical limitations. We are looking for a tour company that could cater to all of our needs.

I am not sure if anyone who has done that exact tour will stumble on your posting. TripAdvisor does not have a Tour Groups forum.

There are some existing topics on Gate 1 Tours on TripAdvisor. You can scroll up to the search box just above your question, type in the company name and from the drop-down menu choose to search 'All Forums'. That will bring up the topics to browse and see if that tour is mentioned.

Tour Matters website (you can search for tours and read reviews of companies and tours) -

Escorted Tour Talk is another tour review website to try-

http://escortedtourtalk.proboards.com/#

Other tour operators such as Cosmos, Globus, Trafalgar or Insight Vacations offer various Europe tours. You can do that same forums search for their company names, and also find them on that Tour Matters website to read reviews.
