Private Vehicle & Dedicated Driver
Travel Comfortably Across Switzerland
Some journeys are best enjoyed with a private vehicle and professional driver. We can arrange vehicles in different sizes and comfort categories according to your itinerary, group, and luggage requirements.
The cost is added to the guiding fee and depends on the date, duration, route, group size, and vehicle category. Your proposal will show the cost separately and explain exactly what is included.
A dedicated driver allows your guide to focus fully on you, the storytelling, and the flow of your experience.
Professional drivers in Switzerland must observe statutory driving limits and rest periods. We factor these requirements into your itinerary, helping us create a journey that is safe, comfortable, and realistically paced.
Tailor-Made Tour Planning
When a Tour Requires a Little More Preparation
Thoughtful personalization of a standard private tour is already included in your guiding fee. Some complex day trips, multi-day journeys, group arrangements, or supplier-intensive requests require substantial additional research, itinerary design, consultation, availability checks, and advance reservations.
In these cases, a separate consultation and planning fee may apply. Our standard Consultation Fee and Booking Deposit for this level of planning is CHF 690.00, consisting of:
-
CHF 350.00 Consultation and Planning Fee
-
CHF 340.00 Booking Deposit, credited toward your confirmed TZI service
More complex arrangements may require a different planning fee, deposit, or payment schedule. If this applies to your request, we will explain the scope, amounts, and relevant terms before any chargeable work begins.
We will not make any material third-party purchase on your behalf without your prior approval of the price and applicable supplier terms.
