2-Week Italy and Switzerland Tour Packages
Two weeks in Italy and Switzerland? You’ll see so much, including the lakes region, the Alps, maybe Venice or Milan. Head to Como and Maggiore, the Swiss Alps around Interlaken or Zermatt, and the Italian Dolomites. Trains connect everything easily, and the scenery is ridiculous on both sides. The Italian side has food and lakes, the Swiss side has mountains and chocolate. They’re both amazing; which do you prefer?

14 Day Western Europe Itinerary, incl. London and Rome
An 8-day celebration of Italian-Swiss cities includes Lucerne's Chapel Bridge, Venice's St. Mark's Basilica, and Florence's Duomo. Luxuriate at Radisson Blu Switzerland and Leonardo Royal Venice.
- Days 1-3
London
Land around midday to better handle jet lag. Take the Underground from Heathrow to central London - it's about 45 minutes. Start your first full day at Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London. One traveler shared: "Westminster Abbey and Tower of London are less crowded first thing in the morning - we got there at opening and had much better photo opportunities." On day 2, visit Buckingham Palace and Big Ben. Book your Tower of London entry time in advance to skip the longest lines.
- Days 4-5
Paris
The morning Eurostar from St. Pancras gets you to Paris in 2.5 hours. Pick seats on the upper deck for the best views. Spend your first afternoon in Montmartre. It's more authentic than the Champs-Élysées and perfect for watching local life unfold. For dinner cruises on the Seine, the 7:30 PM summer sailing lets you see the city in both daylight and sunset. Consider staying in the Marais area for good Metro connections.
- Days 6-7
Swiss Alps
Take the TGV to Basel (3 hours), then connect to Andermatt (2.5 hours by rail). This charming town works well as your Swiss base. Take a day trip to Lucerne on the scenic railway. A recent visitor noted: "The covered Chapel Bridge is magical early morning before tour groups arrive." Visit Mount Pilatus in the morning since clouds often block the view later in the day.
- Days 8-9
Venice Region
The train ride through the Alps to Italy offers beautiful mountain scenery. Stay in Mestre on the mainland instead of Venice proper. It's better value and just 15 minutes by bus to Venice. Start your Murano visit early to catch the glass-blowing shows. Get a vaporetto day pass for unlimited water bus rides instead of single tickets.
- Days 10-11
Florence
Take the train through Tuscany to Florence. Book a hotel near Santa Croce to walk easily to main attractions. Visit the Duomo before 9 AM or after 4 PM to avoid peak crowds. A smart tip from a traveler: "Book Uffizi tickets online at least 2 days ahead - the walk-up queue can be 2+ hours long in peak season."
- Days 12-14
Rome
The high-speed train from Florence takes 1.5 hours. Book the 8 AM entry at Vatican Museums to see the Sistine Chapel before the crowds pour in. Try local restaurants in Trastevere. As one visitor said: "We loved getting lost in the little streets around Campo de' Fiori in the evening when locals come out for passeggiata."
14-Day Tour: Paris, Zurich, Milan & Florence Discovery
Train travel connects Zurich, Milan, and Florence across 14 days. A cogwheel train climbs Mount Rigi to 1,797 meters, then cruise Lake of the Four Cantons before heading to Grindelwald where Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks tower overhead. Later, a private boat takes you to Bellagio on Lake Como.

What people love about 2-week Italy and Switzerland tours
- Harmonious Europe (29 destinations)
Overall, I had an enjoyable time on the tour. The only thing that can be improved is better communication prior to the start of the tour. I was expecting a meet and greet on Day 1 in the evening and a night time tour of Paris. But nothing was organised and no information was passed on about the cancellation of that tour till I started messaging the emergency number on WharsApp. The hotel staff had no idea of what was going on either. The first time I met everyone including the guide was five minutes before hopping on the bus. Within minutes, we were told that we would have to pay for entry into the Versailles Palace! First activity and it was not included in the tour price! I don’t understand the point of just arranging a transfer if the entry was not included. Things ran a lot more smoothly after those initial hiccups but we lost our guide and driver after Switzerland. All of a sudden we had a whole new group of non English speaking passengers and guides who spent a lot more time explaining in Spanish and Portuguese than English. Luckily we got a few new English speaking passengers and ensured we stuck with each other during the optional extras. Would be good if some of the optional activities like the gondola ride in Venice or the Louvre Museum in Paris was included instead of just going to see lakes and Cathedrals in every city. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable and I would recommend the tour at least once for solo travellers.
