About this trip
This 15-day trip links Switzerland's lakes and mountains with Italy's historic cities and the Amalfi Coast, travelling partly by train and partly with your own guide.
You start in Zurich before heading to Lucerne to take in the Swiss scenery, then move south into Italy for its art, history and coastline, finishing along the Amalfi Coast.
It runs as a private, partially guided trip at an easy pace, which suits families or anyone travelling over Christmas and New Year who wants a mix of culture and scenery without a packed schedule.

Your free day in Zurich
Landing early, staying on, or filling free time? The best-rated day experiences in Zurich — you book on Viator (we may earn a commission).
Worth it if you value responsive support and quality guides. Think twice if you want genuinely small-group experiences or staying in destination centres.
- Customer service is genuinely impressive: daily check-ins, last-minute flexibility, responses within minutes.
- Small-group promise misleading: despite max-10 policy, travellers ended up on large commercial bus tours instead.
- Accommodation locations misaligned: placed 20 mins from Lake Como and 1 hour from Amalfi, requiring own transport to actual sites.
- Hotel standards variable: one reviewer noted their accommodation was dated and poorly maintained.
