Best places in Switzerland for a private tour

Bernese Oberland & Jungfrau Region

The Bernese Oberland & Jungfrau Region

The Bernese Oberland is the dramatic heart of the Swiss Alps and a premier destination for a bespoke private tour. Here, the sheer rock faces of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau provide a breathtaking backdrop for curated exploration. With a private guide, you can navigate the car-free streets of Wengen or Mürren, take a private boat across the turquoise waters of Lake Brienz, or ascend to high-altitude viewpoints without the rush of a group schedule. Private transfers and meticulously timed excursions allow you to experience the "Top of Europe" while avoiding the peak transit crowds, ensuring your mountain retreat is defined by serenity and awe.

Lucerne, Switzerland, Tourism, Nature, Chapel Bridge

Lake Lucerne & Central Switzerland

For those seeking a blend of historic charm and Mediterranean-like lake vistas, Central Switzerland offers an unparalleled private travel experience. Explore the medieval Chapel Bridge and the winding alleys of Lucerne’s Old Town with a local expert who brings Swiss founding legends to life. A private tour here often includes exclusive cruises on historic paddle steamers or a chauffeured drive to the base of Mount Pilatus or the Rigi. Moving at your own pace allows for spontaneous stops at artisanal cheese dairies or quiet lakeside hamlets, where you can soak in the panoramic views far from the typical tourist routes.

Zermatt, Winter, Matterhorn, Skiing, Night

The Valais & Zermatt

The Valais region, home to the iconic pyramid of the Matterhorn, is a standout for travelers who appreciate rugged peaks and world-class luxury. A private itinerary in Zermatt allows you to focus on the experiences that matter most—be it a guided glacier trek, a private helicopter tour over the Gornergrat, or an exclusive wine tasting of rare mountain varietals in the Rhone Valley. With a dedicated specialist handling the logistics of mountain railways and luxury shuttle transfers, you are free to enjoy the pristine alpine air and high-end boutiques of this world-renowned resort town with total ease and privacy.

Tips for your Switzerland private tours

Switzerland has a world-famous public transport system, but managing multiple rail connections, mountain cogwheels, and buses while hauling luggage can be a challenge. A private tour strips away that stress through expertly coordinated logistics. You get private door-to-door transfers for your major transitions and a dedicated travel specialist who pre-arranges all your ticketing and timing. It means you can focus on the peaks while we handle the background details for a seamless journey.

Flexibility is at the heart of our service. If you decide you’d rather spend an extra hour at a lakeside café in Lucerne or start your morning a little later after a long day of hiking, your guide and driver will pivot. You're the one in control of the pace, ensuring the trip stays as relaxed or as active as you feel in the moment.

We use a curated mix of private road transfers and Switzerland’s legendary scenic rail. For your regional travel, we coordinate private chauffeured transfers in premium vehicles. If your heart is set on an icon like the Glacier Express or Bernina Express, we handle the First-Class or Excellence-Class seating and manage all your luggage transfers separately. You simply board the train with your camera; we ensure your bags are waiting in your next hotel room.

These high-altitude icons are best experienced without the crowds. Your bespoke itinerary can include private cable car ascents, guided glacier treks in Zermatt, or a private boat across the turquoise waters of Lake Brienz. By moving at your own speed with a local expert, you can reach those "Top of Europe" viewpoints at the best times for photos and serenity.

Absolutely. We can weave Switzerland’s artisanal traditions into your journey, from exclusive chocolate workshops in Zurich to watchmaking masterclasses in Geneva. We also love arranging secluded fondue tastings in remote mountain chalets or private tours of artisanal cheese dairies in the Gruyères region. Your tour designer can even book tables at the most sophisticated lakefront restaurants.

It starts with an online inquiry where you tell us about your personal sense of adventure. You’ll then collaborate with a specialist to build a tailor-made itinerary at no cost or commitment. Once you're ready, we handle all the handpicked stays and elite guides. Throughout your trip, you’ll have 24/7 peace-of-mind support to ensure everything runs with Swiss precision.

It’s one of the best. We frequently design "Grand European" traverses that link Switzerland with Northern Italy, France, or Austria. Whether you want to transition from the Alps to the Riviera or follow a scenic rail route through the heart of Europe, we coordinate the cross-border logistics seamlessly.

  • Lara has organized my Italy trip for summer with my family. She had some many great ideas and provided so much information about the different regions. I´m really looking forward! Thank you Lara :-)

  • We had the best trip of our life and can recommend Tourlane as your travel partner / agency. From the first contact, to planning and the concierge service during the trip. 5 stars rating!

    09/07/2024
  • We planned a nearly three-week trip to Greece and the Greek islands with Jonas Walot and thoroughly enjoyed not having to worry about anything. This was especially pleasant because we visited four different islands and Athens beforehand, which meant a lot of transfers, all of which were superbly organized by Tourlane. We were able to enjoy our vacation to the fullest and always had a local contact person. It was tailored exactly to our wishes and, above all, planned at fairly short notice because we simply didn't have much time to deal with the planning—Jonas really took all the work off our hands, so we could focus solely on the trip itself! We'll definitely do it again :)

    07/22/2025
  • Portugal was our third rental car tour that we booked through Tourlane. The needs of travelers are carefully assessed and taken into account in the planning. The trip is designed and prepared according to your personal budget. The travel app is also well designed and very helpful. The airport pickup, including hotel transfer, worked perfectly, as did the contact person in the respective country in case of any problems. Tourlane kindly covered an unjustified additional charge from the car rental company. Thank you to Ms. Williams for handling this matter so smoothly. All in all, I would book another trip with Tourlane anytime.

    10/23/2024
  • I was very enthusiastic and pleasantly surprised. Everything was to my liking. It was a round trip in Greece. Tourlane organized everything very well, including transportation by ferry and private car. The itinerary, activities, and hotels were wonderful. Tourlane was always available and helpful with every issue.
