Which Swiss mountain excursion should we choose?

Jungfraujoch if you want the glacier and the altitude, Grindelwald First if you would rather be outdoors on a ridge. We book whichever you pick, and swap if the forecast turns.

Is thirteen days enough for both countries?

It is, because the Swiss leg sits on two bases and the Italian leg uses fast trains. Below eleven days something real has to go — usually Naples and the Amalfi Coast.

Can we sleep on the Amalfi Coast instead of day-tripping?

Yes, and we recommend it if the budget allows. A night in Sorrento or Positano changes that leg completely.

Is this a good honeymoon?

It is the one we suggest most often. Lake Como, Venice and the Amalfi Coast in a single trip, with the Alps as a quiet opening.

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 — Alps open, Italy warm but not yet crowded
Sep – Oct: Equally good the other way round — Italy softens, Swiss air stays clear
Jul – Aug: Hot in the south and busy everywhere. Workable, but book early.
Nov – Apr: Amalfi largely shuts down and some Swiss excursions close for weather

Things to do

Jungfraujoch — Top of Europe
The highest railway station in Europe at 3,454 metres, with an ice palace cut into the glacier and a terrace over the Aletsch.
Mount Titlis and the Cliff Walk
A rotating cable car up to the glacier, and Europe's highest suspension bridge across the drop. Paired with Lucerne in one day.
Lake Como by boat
Bellagio and Varenna are the two towns worth the day, and the boat between them is how to see the lake properly.
The Amalfi Coast
Sorrento, Positano stacked up its cliff, and Amalfi — one of the most beautiful roads in Italy, as a full day from Naples.
Florence and Pisa
The Renaissance city on foot — the Duomo, the Ponte Vecchio, the Uffizi if you want it — with the leaning tower an hour away.
Vatican City
St Peter's and the Sistine Chapel on the last morning, before the flight home.
