Excursion FAQs

When should we book? Do excursions sell out?

To avoid disappointment we suggest booking in advance. Our Zermatt and Lake Orta tours are particularly popular and regularly sell out through the season!

Do excursions only run on the days listed?

At busy periods we may operate a second tour on a different day. This would usually be arranged within a week of the tour date, according to demand at that time so if you want to guarantee a particular excursion we advise you book in advance on its usual day.

What's included on your tours?

Our excursions include travel on modern, air-conditioned coaches and the services of our official local guide/s. For optional extras and further information please see the individual pages for each tour.

We have booked half board at our hotel, will we miss our evening meal?

All our tours are timed to have you back at your hotel in time for your evening meal.

We'd prefer a private tour, is that possible?

Absolutely! Have a look at our private excursions page for more details.
