(17 reviews)Bordered by Germany, France, and Italy, Switzerland is a country of juxtapositions, where each region reflects the language, culture, and cuisine of its neighbors. We have designed our Swiss vacations to highlight these unique areas while presenting the majesty of the landscape: the mighty snow-capped mountains, the shimmering lakes and the vast meadows. Travel through charming resort towns, such as St. Moritz, Montreux, and the car-free village of Zermatt, or set out on a journey of discovery into the country's great cities - destinations like the capital city of Bern, Lucerne, Geneva or Zürich.
With nearly 50 Swiss tour packages, we offer endless ways to connect these destinations, including aboard the country's acclaimed railways and world-renowned scenic trains. Savor the incredible vistas aboard the Glacier Express, the Bernina Express, or the GoldenPass Panoramic Express, or pair your land tour with a cruise along the Rhine River to see Europe from multiple vantage points. Switzerland is home to some of the most impressive scenery in the world; let us put it within reach with our curated escorted and independent tour options.
