Traveler•Written October 2024Will it be possible to tailor the tour?for ex skip some last days and go back instead?or its fixed?
- Insight VacationsOperator•Written October 2024
Apologies, since this tour will end in Geneva, the complimentary departure transfer on the last day of the tour is only available to drop off guests at Geneva Cointrin International Airport (GVA), not in Zurich. The tour itinerary has been pre planned and can't be altered or tailored. You have an option to leave the tour earlier if you are unable to finish it or skip some activities or days on the itinerary but you will still be paying the tour in full.
