What people love about Fully Guided Tours in Switzerland
- Switzerland All-in-one
Vittalli from All in one Swiss tours was an excellent guide and everything ran smoothly. Tourradar were great with communication and liaising with us and All in one Swiss tours
- 6-Day The Italian Lakes & Swiss Alps Explorer Small-Group Tour from Milan
We traveled and explored a great deal. I wish our guide had accompanied us o all our experiences rather than exploring on our own. However, our guide was very attentive and assisted us with local purchases and pharmacies.
- Swiss Miracle
In summary, one word: WOW!!! Absolutely spectacular sites, most even better than the last, unbelievably! A well-planned trip, with aggressive days to see a lot of phenomenal sites (that are VERY insightful in their selection), but self-paced “free days” that are relaxing and let us explore. We are very grateful to Open Up Swiss Dream Travel. Vitalii, Bob, and Michael all work VERY hard in providing the tour, I am very grateful for their insights, hard work, and expert driving and navigation in making a very efficient trip. I highly recommend arriving a few days early to get over any jet lag before the tour (Vitalii didn’t gouge us on pre-tour accommodations and was very fair in adding that price in); we rented a car and went to Freulerpalast and Castle (Schloss) Kyber, then took the train to Lucerne on pre-tour days. On another free day on the tour from Interlakken, we took a train/gondola/tram to Jungfrau, the highest mountain in Europe. I recommend stopping by churches on your free day, for some remarkable architecture. About 30% of Swiss people apparently speak English, and MOST service workers do, so if you smile and be polite, folks will likely help you. On free days, the “SBB” app was very helpful, it is an integrated schedule (with GPS directions to the bus stations) of bus, funicular, tram, and train on a national scale, though there were a few bugs with it. On the tour, a lot of driving in very comfortable minibuses as we made our way across the country, but views were still amazing. The small group size was key to enjoyment, in contrast to 55-passenger busses of other tours; it was still economical, but we could move quickly. The chocolate and cheese factories were not as great as the natural sites, but still good for cultural appreciation and along the way as we drove. Hotels were good, though some weren’t quite “four star” for US standards; the air conditioning in the summer didn’t keep up; but all had VERY friendly staff and PHENOMENAL breakfasts; we at a LOT, as other meals in most restaurants were $40 per person (yikes). However, there is a lot of walking/hiking at times, so a moderate level of fitness helps. So thanks, Open Up Swiss Dream Travel, for a truly awesome experience!
What our customers ask about Switzerland Guided Tours & Trips
What are the main highlights typically included in a fully guided Switzerland tour?
Most comprehensive Switzerland tours take you through the country's essential landmarks. The scenic Glacier Express train route connects mountain resorts. Cities like Lucerne showcase medieval architecture including the wooden Chapel Bridge. The Swiss Alps region features stops at Jungfraujoch which stands at 11,332 feet above sea level. Many tours such as those by Insight Vacations include nights at Hotel Astoria in Lucerne and guided visits to Chillon Castle along Lake Geneva's shores. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "The scenery tour guide and fellow travelers were outstanding! The variety of trains we traveled on were extraordinary."
What's included in meals on fully guided Swiss tours?
Daily breakfast comes standard with most guided Swiss tours from simple continental spreads to extensive buffets. Group dinners often showcase local cuisine at selected restaurants like La Chaumière in Geneva or mountain-side eateries in Zermatt. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The included meals were excellent - from traditional fondue dinners to gourmet restaurants with lake views at Hotel d'Angleterre." Lunch stops are usually independent letting travelers explore local cafes. Tour guides can direct you to authentic Swiss restaurants and help with reservations for non-included meals.
What kind of accommodations can I expect on a fully guided Swiss tour?
Tours typically book centrally located 3-4 star hotels across Switzerland. In St. Moritz some groups stay at the Kempinski Grand Hotel des Bains while Geneva offers properties like the Hotel d'Angleterre with Mont Blanc views. Mountain towns such as Zermatt feature hotels like Mont Cervin close to trails and lifts. As confirmed by a TourRadar traveler: "The hotels were excellent quality throughout - from lakeside resorts to cozy mountain lodges all perfectly located for exploring." Most rates include breakfast with some properties offering dinner.
How much walking/physical activity is involved in guided Swiss tours?
Most tours require moderate walking through cities and some uphill sections in places like Lucerne and Zermatt. Guided portions cover 1-3 miles daily with optional hikes available during free time. More active itineraries like "Switzerland's Best" emphasize hiking. As a TourRadar traveler shared: "The pace was comfortable for our mixed-ability group - we walked through cities and took cable cars in the mountains with options to do more hiking if desired." Guides explain difficulty levels and can suggest alternatives when needed.
What should I pack for a fully guided tour in Switzerland?
Switzerland's changing weather calls for versatile clothing. Bring a waterproof jacket fleece hiking boots or walking shoes and casual dinner attire. Mountain visits to Zermatt or St. Moritz require warm layers for high altitudes. A TourRadar traveler advised: "Pack smart layers - we experienced everything from warm sunny days in Geneva to cool mountain air in Lucerne. Good walking shoes are essential for cobblestone streets and optional hikes." Remember swimwear for lakes a daypack and any specialized gear for optional activities.
What's the best time of year to take a guided tour in Switzerland?
Switzerland welcomes visitors year-round but June through September offers the most reliable weather and mountain access. The Jungfrau region and Zermatt have ideal conditions for summer hiking and sightseeing. A TourRadar traveler noted: "We went in July and had perfect weather for outdoor activities in the Alps though September was less crowded with equally nice conditions."
