Why fly Nice to Zurich but train Paris to Nice?

Because the train south is fast and beautiful, and the train east to Switzerland is neither — it is a long way round. We use rail wherever rail wins.

Is this good with children?

Yes. Disneyland, a beach base and cable cars in the mountains is a strong combination, and the train legs are easy with luggage.

Do we need three nights in Nice?

Three nights gives you Monaco and Menton on one day and Cannes on another, with an evening in Nice itself. Two nights means dropping one.

Can we add Chamonix or Zermatt?

Yes, though it lengthens the Swiss leg. Most people are better served adding the Glacier Express to what is already there.

Do you run group tours?

No. Every trip is planned for one family, couple or group of friends at a time: flights, hotels, drivers, guides and sightseeing, all chosen for you.

How does a planning conversation begin?

Message us on WhatsApp — there is no form. Tell us roughly where, roughly when, and who is travelling. A trip designer replies personally, usually the same day, and follows up with a call to understand your priorities before sending a proposal.

What do the prices on the site cover?

Where we show a figure it is indicative, per couple, and all-inclusive — flights, visa, hotels, sightseeing, transfers, breakfast and dinner. It is a planning number, not a quote: it is confirmed once hotels and transport are actually held, and it moves with the exchange rate on the day of booking. Trips without a figure are priced on enquiry.

Do you handle international flights and visas?

Yes. On our Europe trips both are included in the indicative price — return flights and visa application support and fees. Elsewhere we book flights through your preferred airline alliance and co-ordinate visa documentation separately.

When to go

May – Jun: Our pick — Riviera warm, Alps clear, Paris at its best
Sep: The other good window. The coast is still swimmable and the crowds have gone.
Jul – Aug: The Riviera is at capacity. Doable, but book months ahead.
Nov – Mar: Nice goes quiet and the beach leg loses its point

Things to do

The Eiffel Tower after dark
Second level, then straight onto a Seine cruise as the city lights come on. It is the standard evening because it works.
Disneyland Paris — both parks
One full day, both parks, if you start early. We book the tickets and set the order.
Monaco and Menton
East along the coast — the harbour and the Casino de Monte-Carlo, then Menton's lemon-coloured old town near the Italian border.
The uncommercialised Riviera
Cannes for the Palais des Festivals, then the hill towns behind it that the day-trip coaches never reach.
Jungfraujoch or Grindelwald First
A full day on the mountain, then Lauterbrunnen — seventy-two waterfalls in one valley — on the way back.
Lucerne and Mount Titlis
The Lion Monument and the Kapellbrücke, then the rotating cable car up to the glacier.
