Itinerary
On this soul-stirring alpine tour, the journey is just as captivating as the welcoming communities and fascinating local traditions you’ll encounter along the way. Watch the mirror-like water ripple as you glide across Lake Iseo towards fairytale Monte Isola. Marvel at the sunlight glinting off the snow-dusted Swiss Alps as you ride the iconic Bernina Express. With us, every moment’s a memory waiting to be cherished long after you return home.
day 1Venice (Italy)
118 tiny islands. 150 captivating canals. Over 400 beautiful bridges. There really is nowhere quite like Venice! A city that’s inspired countless paintings and works of literature over the centuries, it’s a place of unparalleled elegance and grandeur – and the perfect spot to begin our escape. Seek out your first hotel right at its heart to say ciao to your Tour Leader and the small group of travel companions you’ll be enjoying this spectacular journey with. Then, get your first taste of the region during a delicious welcome meal at a local restaurant. Venetian cuisine is famed for its fresh seafood, silky spaghetti and creamy polenta, so you’re sure to find something tempting on the menu.

Customer Reviews
Loved it so much I would do it all again but stay in several places a lot longer ie Sormione, St Moritz, Interlaken and Zurich. Shame it's so exy.
A wonderful experience can fully recommend great driver and tour guide to show all the highlights
Driver and Host were extremely professional and made the experience a very memorable holiday that will last a lifetime. The vehicle we travelled in was very comfortable and viewing excellent for taking photos would thoroughly recommend people to take this trip/tour with back roads
As always Backroads Touring delivered. Tour Leader Sylvia was knowledgeable, friendly and caring. She ensured our small group was always safe and was always contactable. Our driver Ettore was reliable and friendly. His vehicle was truly luxurious. As our group numbered on 6 we had an 8 seater but it was extremely comfortable and able to accommodate all of our luggage. Highly recommended
Good organization, good guide, good transport, making a good tour
