Jui's Swiss Trips  

tour details

General Tour Information

We provide a tour programme all year round - consisting of usually seven day trips per tour on a 8 days / 7 nights base - to selected places throughout Switzerland. The trips will give you an impression of Switzerland's diversity. Our tour programmes are generally based on public transport by train, bus and even boat. Special tours may also be run by car. For more information on dates and availability of our tours, please visit Jui's Swiss Trips & Homestay Reservation and Occupancy Plan. Besides our standard tour we also offer some theme tours and custom tailord tours also by public transport or by private transport.

In general, all standard and theme tours last eight days, including the days of arrival and departure. However, if our 8 days tours do not fit your travel plans, we may offer you a customized tour to suit your interests and timeframe. We can offer customized tours up to 15 days. The length of tours is based on the validity of the Swiss Travel Pass, which gives you free access to the public transport system (and mountain transport installations at 50% discount) as well as free entrance to 500 museums throughout Switzerland. If the number of tour days differs from 8 days, a special minimum number of tour participants applies.

If you are interested in a customized tour, please let us know, what your preferences are. We will organise a tour tailored to suit your holiday plans and interests. Please feel free to contact us at info@juis-swisstrips.ch. We will be glad to assist you.

During the whole tour you usually will stay at Jui's Homestay (if not stated otherwise), which was our private home until September 2019. We will return to Jui's Homestay after each daytrip. Breakfast and Dinner is provided each day and included in the tour package price. Breakfast is served at Jui's Homestay (primarily american style breakfast and thai style breakfast at some days). Dinner is taken in restaurants either Thai / Asian or sometimes Western on the way back home.

Please Note: Due to weather conditions some excursions may not be possible on the planned date. Therefore the order of excursions may vary, or some may have to be replaced by other excursions. Such alterations are considered in respect of your safety, and will be discussed with the whole group of a concerned tour.

Standard Tour

The standard tour lasts eight days, includes seven nights at Jui's Homestay and six (or seven, depending on arrival/departure time) daytrips to different parts of Switzerland on a halfboard basis. The price of your booked tour package includes (if not stated otherwise): accommodation, breakfast, dinner, all costs of transport within Switzerland and all booked trips and all entrance fees. Not included in the tour rates are: the costs of your journey to Switzerland, costs for lunch, your personal expenses in Switzerland and any insurances.

All travelling by train is done in second class, which is at a very good standard in Switzerland, although it may be crowded a little bit at certain times. However, at additional costs an upgrade to first class is possible [more space, less crowded (if not travelling during rush hours)].

Arrival / Departure at Zurich Airport ZRH
Zurich is the airport where our tours normally will start and end. All tour participants are kindly requested to use Zurich Airport to join our tours and leave after the tour. Our excursion of the first day will start right at the airport Zurich.

Arrival / Departure at other airports
Pick ups or drop offs at other airports (Geneva (GVA) or Basel (BSL)) are only possible for a whole tour group (all participants of a certain tour). Individual tour travellers who have to fly to GVA or BSL for some reasons, will have to arrive one day before the tour starts at Jui's Homestay. Pick up and drop off by Jui's Swiss Trips only at aditional costs. Depending on time of departure, they also might leave a day after the tour came to an end. Pick ups and drop offs by Jui's Swiss Trips at other airports are not possible.

Other means of transport
For those travelling to or leaving Switzerland by other means of transport the tour starts and ends at the meeting or departing point agreed on at time of booking.

Theme Tours

Theme Tours are in general like the standard tour in terms of duration and rates. But on some tours there might be external overnight stays (hotel instead of Jui's Homestay), or additional offers, which will result in a higher tour rate and occasionly on a longer tour duration.

    France / Provence: Sunset over Lavender Field
  • Cherry trees in Switzerland usually bloom from mid-March to mid-April. But of course all depends on nature. Sometimes it starts early, sometimes later. So it is difficult to predict when the trees in a certain area will be in full blossom. We therefore are not able to promise anything.
  • Unseen Switzerland (in planning stage)
  • UNESCO World Heritage Tour (in planning stage)
    Switzerland is home of 12 UNESCO world heritage sites. A few of them will be visited during this tour.
  • Bernese Oberland - from end of April until end of October only (in planning stage)
    This tour programme concentrates mainly on the Bernese Oberland, and places within the grey area of this map.
  • Hikes in Switzerland I (in planning stage)
  • Christmas Markets Tour (CH) (in planning stage)


Custom Tour

A custom tour is tailord to your timeframe and interests in places to visit. We may suggest an itinerary which also may include some trips of our standard tour programme. The rate of a custom tour is calculated according to the length of stay, number of trips and places to visit. Travelling in Switzerland is done by train, bus and boat. Usually the length of stay is determined by the validity period of the general ticket for public transport from 8 up to 15 days (we do not recommend a shorter tour than 8 days). Please feel free to ask for a custom tour itinerary and a quote at info@juis-swisstrips.ch.
