Work hard; play hard. That’s the universal travel agent’s motto, right? RIGHT! Yes, you love to make other people’s dreams come true, but sometimes it’s nice to pack your bags and set off on your own adventure too.
Famils are going strong (shout out to all the wonderful companies that you sell) and we love to see your happy little faces while overseas.
That’s why we’re bringing you a weekly famil wrap, so we can all have a nose as to what you’ve been up to and to give you some extra bragging rights, because, let’s face it… the travel industry is the best industry in the world? #travelforlife

Personal Travel Manager’s Grand Rail Tour of Switzerland
PTM Emily Turner’s favourite Swiss famil highlight was visiting Jungfraujoch and its mountaintop attractions, including the Ice Cave
For TravelManagers’ Emily Turner, her time at Jungfraujoch ranked as the figurative and literal pinnacle of a week-long Swiss famil that focused on exploring this wonderland by rail.
While at the aptly named ‘Top of Europe’, Turner and the rest of her famil group spent their time soaking up the breath-taking views from the railway station’s viewing platforms, exploring the other-worldly sculpture galley of the Ice Palace, and sampling the delights of Lindt Swiss Chocolate Heaven.
As one would expect from an itinerary designed and hosted by Switzerland Tourism and Rail Europe, the train ride up to Jungfraujoch was not the only spectacular rail journey the group experienced during their time in Switzerland.
All-in-one, first-class Swiss Rail Passes provided the famil group with access to major cities such as Zurich, Lucerne, Basel, smaller towns like Montreux and Vevey, and the incredible alpine scenery that is made easily accessible by Switzerland’s impressive rail network.
“The efficiency and comfort of Swiss trains is second to none, the option of arranging door to door luggage transfers is well worth the investment, and I now have first-hand knowledge of lovely hotels that are within easy reach of the train stations at each destination we visited.”
Emily Turner, PTM
