Rating for tour operator:Thihnks out of the box in planning unusual tours; perectionist in client care; enormously efficient; beautiful, travelled person
A superb programme of classical music concerts and walks in an idyllic setting staying at an excellent hotel
The holiday starts and ends with a scenic train journey beside Lake Geneva with panoramic windows up to/from the Bernese Alps. Each day, after a generous buffet breakfast on a sunny terrace, we took ski lifts/ buses or trains to walk for 2-3 hours high in the hills admiring the wildflowers and dramatic Swiss scenery. On four evenings we were transfered to a local church to enjoy a classical music concert before returning the our superb hotel ...

Rating for tour operator:I have travelled with Kudu many times to various destinations. The trips were always very well organised, and the staff very helpful.
A perfect combination.
A new experience for us. The Alpine hills and meadows lovely in high summer. Gstadd and environs quiet and everything scrupulously clean. Concerts in the evening of a high international standard. (Menuhin Festival) A very small group - only 5 of us - which was unusual. We all got on very well.

Rating for tour operator:Kudu Travel. Our guide was very experienced and helpful - provided picnics for us when walking in the mountains. We felt very cosseted throughout and although quite expensive we got a lot for our money -the cost very inclusive.
An altogether wonderful interesting holiday
It was based in an excellent luxury spa hotel with beautiful mountain views in Switzerland which offered delicious menus even for those needing special diets such as lactose free or gluten free. It combined gentle morning walks in high pastures accessed using the local transport with wonderful evening concerts which were part of a music festival.

Rating for tour operator:I have now done a number of holidays with Kudu Travel (starting 3 years ago) and although I know of and have walked with 2 other companies offering the same style of holidays - ATG Oxford and The Wayfarers - I have just stuck with Kudu since discovering them. David and Tereza are really outstanding in their attention to detail and care for their clients.
An outstanding week of mountain wildflower walks and chamber music concerts
We stayed in an excellent Swiss hotel near Gstaad. Each morning, after a superb full breakfast, we used the wonderful railways and mountain gondolas to enjoy alpine wildflower-bedecked walks and picnics. In the early evenings door to door transport was provided to and from four excellent concerts after which we could enjoy the hotel's outstanding selection of cheeses and desert.
