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
- Contrasts of Switzerland (8 Days)
Guide was very knowledgeable and strong in many languages. The optional tours were great. Particularly the dinners created good interaction between the group and the Matterhorn was incredible. We missed the ice caves and would recommend the guides are advised to show this. I also recommend this to be added as an included tour.
- Swiss Miracle
Everything in this tour was great! We (me, my mom, and other tour member) just couldnt ask for more. Our Guide and Driver (Vitali) was just super amazing. We all love him. He's just beyond for being a guide but he is also becoming our friend and family. For Hotel, in my opinion all the selected hotels are good, quiet, clean, and spacious enough. Not a luxury one (as it's only 4*) but comfortable enough, really. Here are my day to day impression about Vitali throughout the journey: Day 1 As soon as we met Vitali, we know that he is punctual, fun, experienced, and caring Day 2 As we visited Lucerne, Vitali is just so knowledgable regarding the history of the city. He also cares a lot for toilet, give us some space for pictures (ask for it) or he could also take tons of pics for you. Most importantly he tag good spot for pictures for you. Day 3 He plan for the best by rearranging the schedule based on the weather forecast, recommend good food, cared so much for eldery on the track difficulity, prepared for umbrella for the quests. And even genuinly get back to the car to get umbrella for you. Day 4 He answered to a wide range of question about Switzerland and informed all preparation you need for the next day weather. He is just always been so interesting and never been boring and he tried his best not to waste our time by leaving us and pick us up at the closest place to the attraction area, he will never made you travel a lot to the parking area. Day 5 Weather doesnt stop us (it was raining, windy, and freezingly cold), he tried to keep everything on schedule. We chose the CLOY option in Day 5, throughout the excursion, he know precisely every CLOY scene location. Today he made the tour more fun by giving us some QnA. Day 6 Eventhough it's a free day but he gave us complete information regarding the transport system in Montreux and Vevey. And places to visit. Day 7 Today he gave lots of historical information regarding chillon castle, Lavaux Vineyards, and Geneva. Eventhough the schedule is pack, but managed to keep everything on schedule so thus we have free time to explore Geneva city and do shopping for souverniers.
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."
