Quality
This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities. -

Travelers Notes
* DAY 1: Complimentary arrival transfers from Vienna International Airport (VIE) depart at 10:00 and 13:00 on the first day of the tour. Guests should arrive at least 2 hours before the last transfer time. TRANSFERS: Chargeable transfers available in Vienna. Guests who have booked their pre-trip accommodation with Trafalgar, or whose flight times do not coincide with the shuttle coach timings may purchase a chargeable transfer. However, guests booking independent hotel nights will make their own transfer arrangements.* DAY 13: Trafalgar does not provide departure transfers from Hyatt Place Zurich Airport The Circle or Hyatt Regency Zurich Airport The Circle, as both hotels are directly connected to Zurich Airport (ZRH) via an indoor tunnel and are within short walking distance. Guests are expected to make their own way to the airport at a time that suits their flight. The Travel Director will be available to provide guidance as needed. This also applies to guests with post-night accommodation. No complimentary or chargeable departure transfers are available through Trafalgar.* NOTE: This Trip falls under LEVEL 1.
