Select participants and date
The Mercedes slides out of Zurich’s hotel porte-cochère as the city exhales under a pale Alpine sun. You push your weathered carry-on into the trunk and glance at the Limmat, which pulls the city’s rooftops toward the distant ridgeline like a steady current daring you to cross. Over the next ten days a private driver, a curated route, and a string of small towns will redraw the map of what a European road trip can feel like: deliberate, comfortable, and threaded with unexpected panoramas.

Adventure Tips
Reserve timed tickets early
Book high-demand entries (Leonardo’s Last Supper, Chillon Castle, Lindt tour) before you travel to avoid sold-out times.
Pack sturdy shoes
Cobblestones and castle stairs are daily occurrences—supportive footwear prevents soreness and missed stops.
Carry local currency and cards
Major cards work widely, but some small shops and markets in villages accept cash only—carry CHF and euros.
Plan for ferry timing
Lake crossings and local ferries run on schedules—arrive early and confirm seasonal timetables to avoid waits.
