What our customers ask about Budget Tours & Trips to Switzerland
What's the average daily cost for budget tours in Switzerland?
Budget tours in Switzerland cost between $184-326 USD per day. This price covers basics like hotels, breakfast, and getting around between cities. A week exploring Zurich and nearby areas costs about $235 USD daily - a practical option in a country where prices run high.
What type of accommodation can I expect on budget tours in Switzerland?
Budget tours use simple but well-kept 2-3 star hotels, each with private bathrooms. Places like Hotel Montana Zurich in the city and Alpine Classic Hotel in smaller towns are typical examples. The rooms serve their purpose - they're clean, comfortable, and put you close to what you want to see.
How much should I budget for meals not included in the tour price?
Plan for $40-60 USD daily for extra meals. Lunch at local spots in Zurich or Interlaken runs $15-25 USD, while dinner costs $25-40 USD. Local supermarkets and cafes, especially around tourist spots like Grindelwald, help cut costs.
When is the most budget-friendly time to visit Switzerland?
March-April and October-November offer better deals. Tour companies run more trips during these months, meaning more choices and lower prices. Companies like STM Tours and Europamundo schedule extra departures in March and October - you'll see the same sights as peak season, just for less money.
Are entrance fees to attractions included in budget tour prices?
Tours cover some basic entry fees but not everything. For example, while the Europamundo tour includes the Felsenegg cable car, extras like the Jungfraujoch train or museums cost more. Set aside about $100-150 USD for a week's worth of extra entrance fees.
Which tour operators specialize in budget-friendly Switzerland tours?
Europamundo and STM Tours LLC run reliable budget trips, charging between $180-250 USD daily. They keep costs down by using simpler hotels and including essential sights while leaving fancy extras as options you can add.
