    Most beautiful country in Europe!

    A fantastic country to travel around in. We were in Zurich, Lucerne, Interlaken, on Rigi and Grindevald and finished in Lichtenstein.

    Response from the operator: Dear customer, Thank you for your review! We're happy to hear that you had a great experience. If your travels bring you back to Switzerland, we'd be happy to assist you again. Safe travels, AlpTransfer Team

    Highlights and high mountains

    Just returned from this tour, on which we ( couple) were the only guests- as promised, the tour went on, just for us. Very personalized, attentive service; drivers and guides were all knowledgeable & pleasant. Hotels were all fine, especially the one in St Moritz.. Itinerary changed a bit, added Rhine Falls, due to ticketing issues on train. Both we and the tour operator were flexible and we got all that we expected. Some communication problems caused short-term annoyance but everything worked out . Would recommend this tour for any first-time visitor to Switzerland!

    Between Lakes and Alps I 7-Day Guided Tour with Accommodation in Switzerland: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zurich.

    How much does Between Lakes and Alps I 7-Day Guided Tour with Accommodation in Switzerland cost?

    +

    Prices start at $5,432 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zurich usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Between Lakes and Alps I 7-Day Guided Tour with Accommodation in Switzerland take?

    +

    Plan for about 168 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Zurich is not rushed.

    Is Between Lakes and Alps I 7-Day Guided Tour with Accommodation in Switzerland worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Zurich, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Between Lakes and Alps I 7-Day Guided Tour with Accommodation in Switzerland?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Between Lakes and Alps I 7-Day Guided Tour with Accommodation in Switzerland suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 168-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Between Lakes and Alps I 7-Day Guided Tour with Accommodation in Switzerland?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Zurich can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Zurich and add a light layer if any part of the 168-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Between Lakes and Alps I 7-Day Guided Tour with Accommodation in Switzerland start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Zurich within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Zurich?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Zurich experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Zurich Food Tour with 10 Local Delicacies, Cheeses & Chocolates, Private, excellent guided tour of Zurich (from CHF 21/pers.), Zurich Historic District Guided 2-Hour Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Zurich?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Zurich?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Between Lakes and Alps I 7-Day Guided Tour with Accommodation in Switzerland?

    +

    Included: Customer support before and during travel; Airport transfer on arrival and departure; 1st class boat ride: Lucerne - Flüelen; St. Moritz thermal baths entry; and Breakfast. Not included: Optional meal (lunches and dinners); and City Taxes at the hotels. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Between Lakes and Alps I 7-Day Guided Tour with Accommodation in Switzerland include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Zurich. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Between Lakes and Alps I 7-Day Guided Tour with Accommodation in Switzerland offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Between Lakes and Alps I 7-Day Guided Tour with Accommodation in Switzerland?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Between Lakes and Alps I 7-Day Guided Tour with Accommodation in Switzerland wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
