Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: Why choose a private van over the Swiss Travel Pass for 6 people?

A: With 6 passengers, hiring a private vehicle is cost-effective and provides door-to-door comfort. You avoid hauling luggage through busy train stations, adhere to your own timetable, and reach scenic viewpoints (like Rhine Falls and Uetliberg) directly.

Q2: Are Indian and vegetarian dining options available under the hotel dinner plan?

A: Most 4-star business and airport hotels in Zurich offer vegetarian and vegan European/continental dining. If authentic Indian/Jain dinners are preferred, Travelogic can customize the dinner package to be served at nearby Indian partner restaurants in Zurich (e.g., Namaste Switzerland or Tadka).

Q3: Can we add a snow mountain excursion to this 3-day itinerary?

A: Yes. On Day 2, instead of exploring Lucerne city alone, the van can drive 35 minutes further to Engelberg for a half-day trip to Mount Titlis (revolving Rotair cable car and Cliff Walk). This can be included as an optional add-on pass (approx. CHF 96 per person).
