About this trip
Ten days moving from Switzerland's alpine scenery into northern Italy's lakes and canals, starting in Zurich and finishing in Venice. Along the way you take in Lucerne, Engelberg and the Titlis glacier region, then the Bernese Oberland around Grindelwald, before crossing the border to Lake Como and on to Venice.
It's a private, partially guided trip, so you'll have some structured days and some time to explore on your own. The pace is easy, with comfortable hotel stays and breakfast included throughout, making it a straightforward option for families or those travelling over Christmas and New Year.
What you'll do
- Ride the gondola up to the Titlis glacier
- Explore Lucerne and Engelberg in the Swiss Alps
- Take in Bernese Oberland scenery around Grindelwald
- Wander Lake Como's lakeside villages and villas
- Take a gondola ride through Venice's canals
- Private trip with some guided elements, so you'll have both organised days and free time
- Easy pace with breakfast and intercity transfers included, suited to families
Worth it if you value central hotel locations, excellent pre-trip communication, and curated Alpine/Venice experiences. Think twice if you need hotel details months ahead or prefer maximum flexibility within the itinerary.
- Hotels consistently in city centres near restaurants and transport; Zurich hotel notably smaller but breakfasts excellent throughout.
- Staff responsiveness exceptional—Rose, Lily, and Giulia named specifically; pre-trip queries answered quickly with detailed information.
- Transfer punctuality unreliable early on; three arrivals late, though improved after requesting earlier pickups mid-trip.
- Hotel names withheld until two weeks before departure; tour options limited—some wanted more activities available during free time.
