In June 1863 an English lady set off by train on the trip of a
lifetime: Thomas Cook's first Conducted Tour of Switzerland. A
century and a half later, travel writer Diccon Bewes, author of the
bestselling Swiss Watching, decided to go where she went and see
what she saw. Guided by her diary, he followed the same route to
discover how much had changed and how much hadn't. She went in
search of adventure, he went in search of her, and found far more
than he expected. Slow Train to Switzerland is the captivating
account of two trips through the Alps: hers glimpsing the future of
travel, his revisiting its past. Together they make a journey to
remember. This is a tale of trains and tourists, of the British and
the Swiss, of a Victorian traveller and a modern-day Englishman
abroad. It is the story of a tour that changed both Switzerland and
the world of travel forever.
