WHY CHOOSE US
3 Reasons to Choose
Swiss Private Tour
Not a bus tour. Not a rental car.
Your own car. Your own guide.
Hotel pick-up.
Unlimited distance.
We pick you up directly from your hotel in Zurich, Bern, or Lucerne. There's no mileage limit — enjoy a full 8–9 hours exploring Switzerland. Available from just 1 guest.
Weather changes?
We change the route.
"The skies are clearer over there today" — your local driver knows exactly where to go. If Grindelwald is rainy, we head to Lucerne instead. No extra charge.
Your pace.
Your journey.
No minute-by-minute schedule. We send you a visual itinerary the day before and ask where you'd like to linger. "A journey without being rushed" — that's Swiss Private Journey.
Travelling with Children or Elderly Family?
We adjust the pace, the stops, and the route so everyone in your group can enjoy the day comfortably.
