Frequently asked questions about day trips

How long does a day trip take?

That depends on the destination. Zurich, Lucerne or the Rhine Falls fit into half a day; the Bernese Oberland, Appenzell or Gruyères take a full day. The driving time from Lenzburg is shown with each suggestion; for a pick-up at your address, hotel or the airport, we calculate it for you.

Does the driver wait while we are out sightseeing?

Yes, as agreed. The driver waits nearby or collects you again at an agreed place, such as the valley station or the boat landing. How long you stay where is set out in advance in the programme.

Are mountain railway and admission tickets included?

No. Mountain railway, cable car, boat and admission tickets are not included; you buy them yourself, locally or online. We help with the planning, for example with departure times and when a reservation is worthwhile.

How many people can travel?

Up to 7 people in a Mercedes V-Class. For larger groups, ask about a second vehicle, subject to availability. If you are coming straight from the airport, please also tell us about your luggage.

Do you have child seats?

Yes, child seats are available. Tell us the age or height of the children in your request, and the right seats will be fitted for the pick-up.

Can you pick us up at Zurich Airport?

Yes. The day trip can start straight after you land or end before your departure, for example with a stop in Lucerne or Zurich. Give us your flight number and luggage details, and we plan the times with a buffer.

How much does a day trip cost, and how do we pay?

You receive the price in advance as a written quote, based on route, duration and number of people. The payment method is agreed with the quote.

What happens if the weather is bad?

If clouds block the view in the mountains, we suggest an alternative, such as a city or a lake instead of a summit. Whether and how you can postpone is stated in the quote.
