France, Italy and Switzerland are returning with the group, and we will help as many people as possible…

😭I have sorted out my travel strategies and experiences in France, Italy and Switzerland for those who need it! - I went to Europe with my boyfriend a few months ago. I was very hesitant at first because it was a spontaneous trip and neither of us had been abroad before, so I was a bit nervous 😰 Then I started looking for tour groups and compared so many! I ended up choosing a small group that my friend had been on, and we spent 12 days there, and it was really good. - ❤️About food and accommodation We stayed in 4-5 star standard hotels. The Swiss Chalet B&B felt very comfortable. You can see amazing scenery when you open the window. It is great for taking photos. The rest is just average, but it is clean and quiet. I don't have high requirements. I just want to sleep well. 🍱 All hotels include a hotel buffet breakfast. The driver will recommend local specialties: he will also help to book local specialty restaurants, Internet celebrities, and Michelin restaurants. I am already very satisfied~ I also tried some special meals, such as this cuttlefish noodles, which looks scary but is actually quite delicious😝 ~ When you don’t have any plans, you can go out for food. Be sure to try Italy’s tiramisu, which is a taste you won’t be able to taste back home! The cost of living in Switzerland is relatively high, we basically eat at coop, chicken legs are cheap and delicious🍗 - ✨About the attractions I didn’t have high expectations at first, but when I got there I realized that Europe is really worth a trip! The Colosseum in Rome, Florence - Tuscany, Venice - Metropolitan City of Venice, Lake Lucerne, Jungfrau - Canton of Bern, the Louvre... every attraction is amazing! I didn't want to go home after having so much fun. I had never seen many of the sights before. It was really an eye-opener. - ⭐A little advice: ①Don’t bring too much cash💰, the order in Europe is really chaotic, remember to bring a shoulder bag to carry your valuables in front of you ② Bring a pair of comfortable hiking shoes! The distances between attractions are quite far, and there is a lot of walking to do, which is particularly troublesome if your shoes are uncomfortable! ③With foldable kettle. European hotels do not provide water boilers, they only have coffee machines! Once you drink coffee-flavored hot water, you will know how uncomfortable it is😞 ④ In terms of medicine, you must bring gastrointestinal 💊 and motion sickness 💊. It is easy to get sick from the local climate here. If you happen to be in your period, it is recommended to bring painkillers. It is very troublesome to buy them in Europe💊 ⑤If the weather forecast says it will rain, be sure to bring an umbrella☔. Buying an umbrella at the mall costs 30 euros, which is like robbing money. - 😄 Let’s summarize~ Neither of us is the type of person who goes out to play often and we are afraid of trouble. This time we had a very worry-free trip as we just ate and had fun the whole time. 🙈I have made a travel guide before, and found that many people say that it is easy to make mistakes when traveling independently in Europe. The attractions are very scattered, and I am afraid that I will not have a good time and it will not be friendly to 💰. So we will look for a tour group. After communicating with the lady about the departure time and visa issues, the group will set our travel route and tickets. The consumption is very transparent and I feel relieved~ After playing for so many days, my feeling is: worth it, super value❗❗ I think I will still choose to travel with a tour group next time I go abroad.
