I’m happy that I enjoyed it with my son and it was so much fun - It was five days tourist trip started with Zurich airport with my son Doctor Sarmad The service in airport was excellent then I took the taxi to the hotel and was expensive then we took tour to the lake and everything was amazing . Then we took a bus tour in the city. The second day we took the whole day tour to Lucern and Pilates mountain and then Lucern lake and we spent amazing hours. The third day we went to Basel and we had tour in the lake and by bus too and we enjoyed very much. The fourth day we went by train to Geneva we had lake tour and then fifth day we took the tour Annecy France it was amazing and returned to Geneva in the afternoon. Next day we left Geneva. In summary we enjoyed Switzerland so much everything the people, the food and all the scenery was amazing and beautiful
