Yes, we find this is easier and more convenient for you. Once you arrive at Zurich Airport, we'll handle all the details from there to make your journey seamless.

The tour is designed with flexibility in mind, so you never feel pressured or rushed. Everyone is free to participate as much or as little as they like, there's no obligation. You'll have room to explore privately or enjoy downtime whenever you want. It's all about reducing stress and focusing on your well-being, creating an experience where you feel relaxed and cared for.

Absolutely! We understand the importance of personal reflection and discovery, so our itinerary is designed to encourage independent exploration. Each day includes specific periods for solo time, allowing you to wander, relax, or simply take in the surroundings at your own pace. This is not just about seeing Switzerland but building confidence as an independent traveler, one step at a time. Beata and her team are always nearby to provide support, but these moments of solitude are crafted as an initial step toward the confidence to embark on future adventures on your own. You'll find that these quiet moments add depth to the experience, giving you the freedom to connect with the landscape, the culture, and perhaps, rediscover parts of yourself. Whether you wish to stroll through Lucerne's charming streets, unwind by a serene lake, or explore local shops, you have the freedom to shape these experiences as you desire. And if you'd like suggestions on places to visit or hidden gems to explore, Beata is full of insights and happy to help you make the most of your solo time.
