Well initially I was apprehensive about the group Travel, but I took a plunge into AFC organised tour and it was an amazing experience. I should have done this earlier itself… better late than never. Excellent coordination and special appreciation and mention of PRAGESH our tour guide in Swiss pasta tour. His knowledge of the places and patience with the large group surely makes him the best guide to travel with. Thanks AFC and special thanks to PRAGESH for making this experience a truly memorable one for our family. Look forward for many more such experiences.
Winning a radio competition with 106.2 Big FM landed me an incredible 5-day holiday to Switzerland and Italy! The trip was expertly managed by AFC Holidays, who took care of everything for a group of 30 lucky winners. Our tour operator, Keith, was fantastic – friendly, professional, and always happy to accommodate our requests. This unforgettable experience has me itching to plan a family vacation soon, and AFC Holidays is definitely at the top of my list!
I recently had my booking arranged by Aswathi Phalgunan at AFC holidays and I have to thank her truly for making our holiday a memorable one. From the booking details to special requests she managed all so well at such short notice. We had a wonderful trip to Italy and Switzerland and the flights booked and the ground arrangements were just perfect.

During my trip to Switzerland and Italy, I immersed myself in stunning alpine landscapes, from the majestic Swiss Alps to picturesque Italian lakes. In Switzerland, cities like Zurich and Lucerne captivated me with their blend of modernity and historic charm. Exploring Interlaken\s adventure sports and Geneva\s cultural richness was unforgettable. Crossing into Italy, I indulged in the art and history of Florence, marveled at the ancient ruins of Rome, and savored culinary delights in Venice. Each day brought new wonders, from scenic train rides through the Swiss countryside to wandering the romantic streets of Venice
I recently booked a customized tour to Switzerland and Italy through AFC Holidays, coordinated by travel consultant Mr. Andrew. The experience was outstanding. Mr. Andrew’s attention to detail and patient explanations of all my queries were greatly appreciated. He provided valuable insights about important considerations, such as areas where more walking was involved. He remained connected throughout the trip, ready to assist with any unexpected issues.The hotels were centrally located, close to tour meeting points and major train stations, making it easy for me to explore the cities on my own. The airport transfers were also punctual, adding to the convenience of the trip. Overall, I highly recommend AFC Holidays and Mr. Andrew for a seamless and enjoyable travel experience
