What people love about touring Switzerland solo
- Swiss Miracle
Fantastic adventure in the most beautiful places in Switzerland. Zurich during August was around 33 degrees Celsius (105F) and humid, so was not too pleasant considering that there is no a/c anywhere, not in restaurants, not in hotels (lucky us, Zuri had a/c), so it was hard to enjoy Zurich. Once we went to the mountains, (and September came), the weather was perfect. True a fairy tale, gorgeous landscape and views. The included tour to the cheese factory and chocolate factory were great. Our tour guide and driver, Vitalii, was very knowledgeable of the history of each site we visited. He cared about us and ensured our comfort everywhere. I love the very small group size, it was intimate, and we all got along. Be prepared that everything in Switzerland is very expensive!
- Stunning Switzerland
The tour was wonderful! Vitalii really made our travel relaxed and comfortable. It was a great mix of places to see and some of the most beautiful views imaginable. Hotels were great choices as well. We learned a lot about Switzerland from him.
I had booked our first tour Switzerland through WiseYatra. I was travelling with my 14 year old daughter & I was bit sceptical. This was our first tour to any of the European countries. The team at WiseYatra was very helpful & supporting from the very first day. They helped us hotel booking, Swiss Travel Pass, Visa assistance and most importantly a very good travel itinerary which was not too exhausting considering it was just 6 days & 7 nights tour. We were able to cover almost all the important attractions which was their in our bucket list. Thanks to the entire team at WiseYatra for making our tour very memorable.

What our customers ask about Switzerland Tours for Solo Travelers
How safe is Switzerland for solo travelers on guided tours?
Switzerland ranks among Europe's safest destinations with low crime rates and reliable infrastructure. The public transportation system runs like clockwork and connects all major tourist spots. Popular areas such as Lucerne's Chapel Bridge and Zurich's Old Town have good lighting and regular police presence. Hotels like the Hotel d'Angleterre in Geneva provide round-the-clock reception and secure entry systems. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Our guide ensured everyone felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey especially during evening activities in cities like Montreux and Interlaken."
What's the best time of year to join a guided tour in Switzerland as a solo traveler?
The most favorable months are June through September. During this time mountain trails are open and weather conditions are reliable for outdoor activities. You can fully access attractions like Mount Pilatus near Lucerne and the Trümmelbach Falls in Lauterbrunnen Valley. A TourRadar traveler noted: "I travelled end of April/first of May. It was a good time to do this tour as you got to see the extremes of Switzerland....lots of snow still on the ground but also lovely green in the valleys."
Are single supplements mandatory on Switzerland tours or can I share a room?
Tour operators handle single supplements differently. Companies like Cosmos and Globus let solo travelers share rooms with other same-gender travelers to avoid extra costs. When single rooms are required the supplements cost between $400-800 USD for week-long tours. Properties like Hotel Blumlisalp in Kandersteg and Hotel Adler in Zurich offer single rooms but need advance booking.
What social activities are typically included for solo travelers on Switzerland tours?
Tours usually include group activities that bring travelers together. These range from welcome dinners in Zurich to cheese fondue nights at local restaurants. Group hikes in Grindelwald and Murren plus scenic train rides on the Glacier Express create natural settings for conversation. Hotels like the Hotel Allalin in Saas-Fee support socializing through shared spaces and evening events. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The group dinners and train rides were perfect for getting to know other travelers while enjoying Switzerland's beauty."
What's the typical group size for Switzerland guided tours suitable for solo travelers?
Most tours keep groups between 8-15 people which creates good dynamics for solo travelers. Places like Hotel Modern Times in Vevey and Hotel Seiler au Lac in Interlaken provide comfortable common areas for group gatherings. According to TourRadar travelers "the small group size was key to enjoyment in contrast to 55-passenger buses of other tours. It was intimate and we all got along."
What kind of accommodation style is available for solo travelers?
Most tours book 3-4 star hotels that cater well to solo travelers. Properties like Hotel d'Angleterre in Geneva and Hotel Seiler au Lac in Interlaken offer modern rooms with private bathrooms and breakfast included. One TourRadar reviewer noted: "The hotels were consistently good quality with excellent locations for exploring during free time especially the Hotel Modern Times in Vevey with its proximity to Lake Geneva."
