Last minute booking a RS Best of Germany Austria & Switzerland tour and they are of course almost completely booked. It appears that my choices are the last two weeks in May or the first two weeks in July. Are there reasons these are the last to be chosen (national holidays or ?) and all the others are full and which month would you choose?

May is a little early for many of the favorite trails to be open in Switzerland, but it will be less crowded than July. My guess is many avoid July and August for the crowds.
Knowing what I like to do in Switzerland, I would pick July over May. Sure, the cable cars will be crowded, but then everyone seems to spread out.

I should have added that either May or July will be great. May might actually be better for Germany and Austria.
Ok, I just looked at the tour itinerary and you are only in Switzerland for 3 nights. So, I think I’m going to change my answer to May. :-)
I think overall, that would be my preference based on lower crowds.
Have a great trip!!

You have a slightly better chance of good weather for Switzerland in July, but I do agree that everywhere else on the list would be nicer at the end of May and you will have less crowds, so I’d choose end of May for that particular tour.
