Post by: Sue on Oct 11, 2012, 15:21:56
We have been offered 6th May 2013 for a guided tour of CERN for a group of 18.

It is a bank holiday here but working day in Switzerland. I am keen to hear from anyone interested in going -need a minimum of 10 people ( do not do group booking for less) to confirm the date with them. Have been given a week to accept or decline.

An opportunity to combine CERN visit with a holiday in Switzerland or France or a weekend break in Geneva. Lovely city lots to see.

We will be booking travel individually or in small groups, depending on length of stay. I am proposing to book accommodation for those who want it at the hostel on site ( like university halls) ,if we can get space, as is much cheaper than hotels in Geneva. Easy, cheap,tram journey between Cern and Geneva.
