We would like to take this tour with our son who will be 4+ years old at the time of departure. Would that be ok ? If so, do we need to book for 2 or 3 travellers? He will be staying with us.

The minimum age required to travel on this departure is 5 years of age. You will need to book the tour for three guest.

Confused about cancelation policy. What happens if you cancel BEFORE FINAL PAYMENT ?

Our cancellation policy states that if you cancel your booking prior to your final payment, you will forfeit your non-refundable deposit.

do you allow medical scooter? It folds like a suitecase and my wife can walk small distances

For trips outside the United States, motorized/electronic scooters are not allowed. If you are bringing a wheelchair, we can gather that information once we have you booked and deposited on the tour.

Can you advise if you have availability for 2 people on this 12 September departure date? If you do, would it be possible to hold the space for Maria until she has received her funds back from a declined booking with yourselves?

Is there enough availability for 2 people?

What is the hotel name in Zurmatt?

We do not have a hotel listed for Zurmatt, that stay will be in Tasch. Once you are booked, you will receive the list of potential hotels.

I have special needs. May I pay for upgraded room. Large size. I don't mind paying and I want this resolved before I agree. Once there my requests often get "lost" again I am willing to pay for upgraded accommodations or suite

We can request you have an accessible room. We will have to gather information about your special needs request once your booked on the tour. We are unable to upgrade your room to a larger size, you may be able to request to change your room with the hotel staff.

My friend and I would love to do this trip, but want to go straight from the last destination to Lake Como instead of ending in Zurich. Specifically, I was hoping we could leave the tour Day 9 from Lucerne instead of traveling back to Zurich.

We are unable to make any customizations to the tours however, you are welcome to depart the tour a day early. Please be advised there is no compensation for the missed portion of the vacation.

Will luggage transport service be included from one hotel to the other? And are tips already included with total payment? Are the train rides 1st class? Will there be assigned seats - Bernina Express single seat first class? And if not, are upgrade options available? Are hotels all 3 star hotels? On other your options like the boat cruise on Day 5, can this be booked in advance? And how much? Will daily ride transfers be included?

Luggage will be stored under the motorcoach and transported to each hotel. The tips are not included in the total payment. The train rides are in Standard Class and they are not able to be upgraded. Upon boarding the train, the tour director will provide your train ticket with your assigned seat. The hotels are rated by class and we use a mix of tourist class, superior tourist-class, and first-class hotels. Optional excursions can be booked at 90 days prior till departure. Pricing will be available at that time as well as it is subject to change. Transportation will be provided to and from the hotel to what is included in the itinerary and any optional excursion you may purchase.

Your Grand tour to Swizerland Has stop in Vaduz of Lichtenshtain and for how long? Or bus just drive through city?

There will indeed be a stop in Vaduz however, we cannot guarantee the length of time that will be spent there as it is subject to change. On tour there will be more detailed information.

Is our luggage taken care of and transferred for us during the trip?

You will be responsible for getting your luggage to and from the motor coach. The Tour Director or the driver may assist with loading the luggage on and off the luggage bay.
