There was something for everyone on this trip: planned outings; suggested extras; free time to do whatever. Sheila, our tour guide, was her usual wonderful, fun self and that made the tour extra special. I especially enjoyed the chocolate factory tour, the outing to the Alps, the tramp through the Lavaux vineyards and the Olympic museum. Hearing some Queen tribute music at Montreux was an unexpected bonus. If one is looking for beautiful scenery, great history, delicious food and wine, this tour in Switzerland is a good choice.

I don’t know where I should even start this was my first tour with Sheila Stone and I had an amazing experience from the beginning as I had many questions about the tour. My tour from arriving to the airport to returning was all scheduled perfectly. My experience on the wine and cheese tour was absolutely stellar the group was amazing we all became family. The wine tour a must, Chillon Castle a must, the spa a must oh let me tell you the hotels we stayed absolutely beautiful. I absolutely love how professional and accommodating Sheila was with everyone in the group which is so important when traveling abroad. If you haven’t gone on a tour with Sheila you are missing out on an incredible experience. This is my truly personal experience I loved every single moment. I’ll be touring again with Sheila Tours next year 2025 to Austria and I can’t wait.

I loved the Switzerland tour with Sheila. We stayed in Montreux and Lausanne, exploring the cities and the surrounding area. We had a wonderful time at a chocolate factory and a cheese factory, on a walking tour of a winery (that had delicious wines), on a private tour of the 13th century Zylglogge (clock tower) in Bern, took in some of the Freddie Mercury celebrations, and visited Chillon Castle. We also experienced a clog-wheel train into the mountains to see some wonderful views of Lake Geneva and the Alps, and a funicular tram in the French town of Evian. We met new friends on our trip, ate delicious food, and enjoyed comfortable accommodation.
Thanks, Sheila, for a great experience.

I recently traveled with Sheila and 11 wonderful women on the 2024 Glorious British Gardens Tour and, indeed, it was a glorious experience! Sheila worked extremely hard to plan an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime tour for us, and her hard work clearly paid off! We visited gardens in Scotland and England of every size, shape and context from the personal "back garden" of the Edinburgh caterer who treated us to a fabulous luncheon in her home, to huge RHS gardens like Harlow Carr--and everything in between! And the Chelsea Flower Show (top of my bucket list!) was absolutely astounding!! As a mad gardener, myself, these experiences were extremely special for me. But as you will clearly note from other reviews, Sheila also has an amazing talent at selecting incredibly delicious restaurants for each day. So if you are lucky enough to experience this tour, come hungry and be charmed by all the surprising and delicious meals you will eat!
Overall, I highly recommend this tour! Sheila is thoughtful about every detail in her travel planning. She makes sure each traveler has what they need, be it a special dietary accommodation or detailed information about each day. She is energetic, well-organized, and flexible, as needed. So do yourself a favor--just go!!!

We saw so many beautiful gardens, flowers, plants on the Glorious British Gardens trip! Highlights were the Royal Botanical Garden (Rhododendrons and azaleas - oh my!), Dr. Neal's garden, Alnwick Garden, Harlowe Carr (my fave!), Chelsea Physic Garden (wonderful!) and the Chelsea Flower Show was incredible - did not disappoint and I'd have loved several days at it! Sheila has great taste in food - all the restaurants she chose were delicious. Hotel location in Edinburgh was perfect! The timing for the trip gave us a wonderful opportunity to see SO many gorgeous flowers!

I traveled with Sheila on the Japanese Gardens tour in April 2024. The tour was jam packed with gardens -- one more beautiful than the next. Sheila knows her gardens! And she is UNFLAPPABLE. All tours are made up of people whose personalities and priorities are not always in sync, and Shelia handled this with diplomacy and aplomb. She is a very kind person, and is sensitive to everyone's needs. I highly recommend her tours.
