Could you please confirm if there are 2 spaces available for our traveler on the May 19th departure? Additionally, do you have any alternative tours with similar dates?

The May 19, 2026 departure is currently available for booking and can accommodate two travellers in a twin room. Please note that once booked, the reservation will be placed on request status, and it may take approximately 3-4 business days to receive confirmation or denial of availability. As for alternatives, we do offer other Switzerland tours; however, the departure dates for small group options do not align closely with May 19. If your travel dates are flexible, you may check our 8 day Glorious Switzerland tour, which has a small group departure on May 31, 2026.

Do we need a visa? How much is the tour? What are the time restraints at landing for travel to first accomodations on arrival?

To assist you with your visa preparation, we recommend checking the visa requirements for your trip. For your tour, the price is CAD 12,450.00 per person. Upon arrival at Zürich airport, you'll transfer to your hotel in Lucerne. During the evening, you'll have the chance to meet your Travel Director and fellow travelers over a delightful dinner at a local restaurant. Feel free to arrive at your convenience during the day, as there are no scheduled activities prior to dinner.

Many relaxed mornings start (after 9:00am) no other time.

Our driver - Maria was an expert! Such a lovely personality, but most of all, we felt safe as we were in challenging situations for the average person. Daniel was an expert. He was so knowledgeable, informative, gracious, funny, and just a really good person. We have never taken a trip like this before. But I would look into the small group tour again in the future.Show more
