Switzerland Customized Tours and Trips

1,166 reviews on bookmundi

Switzerland may be easy to travel around, but deciding where to spend your time is another matter. A Switzerland customized tour can be shaped around what brings you here: panoramic rail journeys, Alpine hiking, lakeside towns, mountain photography or simply a slower holiday surrounded by spectacular scenery. Base yourself in the Jungfrau Region for Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen and Wengen, give Zermatt enough time for clear views of the Matterhorn, or combine Lucerne’s lake and mountain excursions with the vineyards and towns around Lake Geneva. Our local experts can also work Switzerland’s trains, boats, cable cars and private transfers into one seamless route. Personalize an existing itinerary or have a bespoke Switzerland holiday designed around your interests, pace and budget.

Planning a Trip to Switzerland: Essential Travel Tips & Insights

Get expert travel insights for Switzerland - discover the best time to visit, ideal trip duration, and must-visit destinations to help you plan and customize your perfect tour.

When to go to Switzerland

The best time to visit Switzerland depends on your inclinations and interests. The country turns into a playground for winter sport lovers between the months of November and March, while you can admire the foliage in the woods of the Swiss countryside during fall, which lasts from September to November. Spring (April to June) is a great time to hike amid the wildflowers on Alpine slopes. The summer months between June and September are the high season in the country, when temperatures can range anywhere from 18 to 28 °C. Learn more .

How long to stay in Switzerland

Itineraries to Switzerland can be as short as a long weekend or last for a couple of weeks or more. If all you have is a couple of days, then enjoy a city break in Bern or head for the tiny resort town of Saint Moritz instead. Plan at least a week-long jaunt in Switzerland if you want to capture the sights and sounds of its cities and take in the beauty of its mountains. If you have around 10 days to spare in Switzerland or two weeks, drop by the trendy cafes of Zurich before heading for the icy walls of the Aletsch Glacier. Bump into the jet-set amid the opulent chalets of Verbier or navigate the Alpine Pass Route. Learn more .

Must-visit destinations in Switzerland

Visit Zurich , a city with a history going back to the days of the Romans, and take a stroll around the city’s lake or enjoy the views from the Roman fortress of Lindenhof. For romances, castles, and picturesque views, explore Lake Geneva. A taste of paradise awaits you in La Gruyere, known for its world-famous cheese. Test your endurance as you power your bicycle through the winding stretches of Le Fou, one of the world’s most famous cycling trails, and breathe in the crisp mountain air of Gstaad, the wintery playground of the rich and famous. If you are not an active traveler, you can hop on the Glacier Express and chug through the Alps and the Rhine Gorge instead.

I am Tomaz Martinek, tour organizer and tour company co-founder. Ever since I was in secondary school, I have been passionate about traveling. The powerful hold traveling has on human emotions is amazing. Traveling to new places makes people happy, overwhelmed, inspired, surprised, and whatnot. It is this very reason, the ability to make magic happen, is why I wanted to start my own travel company. In 2006, my wish came true when I partnered with Mojca Peterka to establish one of the best travel companies in Europe. Besides running the company, which is one of the most important part of my life, I enjoy being with my family and friends. Activities which I can never give up are enjoying nature, tending to my garden, going hiking, skiing, sailing and of course, traveling. I really enjoy exploring new destinations within and outside of Europe.

Itinerary was good. Tour Managers spotify playlist blasting through the coach speakers was ruined the enjoyment of the tour.

This trip is aptly titled. It was truly the contrasts of Switzerland. Incredible mountain scenery, urban cities, farms and farmers. Excellent!

Itinerary flowed smoothly with lots of info provided along the way. Good optional experiences, although for on drinkers the dinner experience should/could be priced less. More time at Isola dei Pescatori would be good, as we had little time to wander after lunch. The overnight at Locarno I was not impressed with, nothing around , but a walk to Ascona which was pretty, but would have been fine without out and maybe going straight to St Moritz instead that day, as time in St Moritz was minimal and we really didn't have time to see the town. Roseg valley horse and carriage was nice but not through wild beauty of alps, as we followed a road used by cars and bikes which passed us quite regularly. More time at Interlaken would also be great. Overall I enjoyed the trip and learned much about Switzerland.

It was a wonderful itinerary but with the ride on the Glacier Express should be cut in half. Five hours was a very long time, especially after riding on the train through the Bernina Pass. The train on the Bernina Pass was roomier, with open windows, and about 2-2.5 hours.

The itinerary provides an excellent overview of the country. I am glad we visited all four official language regions. At first glance I thought that the Lake Geneva region may have been over-emphasized, but, in handsight, I had greatly underestimated the scenic and cultural interest of the region. I really enjoyed this region, especially Montreux and Lousanne.

The heat really had a negative impact on our trip. Therefore, I feel our guide should have maybe been given alternative excursions that would have been more appropriate for the group. Rather than, we went to a city, were taken to a spot she was contracted to take us to, then set free in a strange place in 96 degree temperatures to fend for ourselves for 2-3 hours. Total waste of time and money. Not impressed with the fondue dinner or risotto dinner at all. Our luggage was damaged (cracked on one side) by one of the transport companies.
