When I confirm dates and book, how do I know where to book our flights to if international flights are not included?

Inbound airport is: Vienna (VIE). Return airport is: Zurich (ZRH). Depart After 9:30AM.

Does that give us a better discount than the Black Friday sale?

We encourage to look up any promotions or discounts that Tour Radar offers through their website. Collette is currently running our Black Friday Sale. Please see our website for details.

This was an excellent tour. It was very well planned. The tour manager did an excellent job. All of the local tour guides were very knowledgeable. The bus driver was very skilled. There was only one optional tour, the Mount Pilatus trip. This tour was my favorite part of the trip - we went up to the top of Mount Pilatus on a gondola. The view was fantastic. We were lucky that the weather was beautiful for most of the tour.Show more
