- EREsther· May 3rd, 2024Part 2 : For those that are staying at the StarHotel Bussiness Place pick-up place, yes they do keep your luggage for you. (we only carry a carry-on for fear of having too much) they do have a wonderful staff also it is easy for the tour guide to find you in the lobby at the start. I know if you ask the desk they may not give you the answer you want to here. Milan is also a great Pre-Tour City to explore before and after Easy train ride from the hotel.Show moreTrip date: April 2024

Peggy· November 4th, 2022We traveled and explored a great deal. I wish...Show moreTrip date: October 2022- NZNaomi· October 30th, 2022Driver and minibus were excellent. Lauterbrunnen day was very enjoyable. The Alps day was boring and disappointing - we drove almost all day and only had about 2 and a half hours in a touristy village, no time to go properly up to the Alps. Accomodation was very mediocre, and should have been located NEAR the destinations on the itinerary. Many hours were spent driving to and from the hotels, and arriving too tired and too late to enjoy the city anyway.Show moreTrip date: October 2022

Andy
Asked on June 24th, 2025I am wondering if the Italian Lakes and Swiss Alps Tour accommodates scooters for mobility issues.
Rabbie’s Small Group ToursOperator•Written June 2025We cannot take any battery-operated devices on board of our vehicles. Our buses are not wheelchair accessible, however we have large luggage compartments which may easily take a manual folding wheelchair or walking frame. At this time we cannot accommodate battery-operated wheelchairs or walking aids. Our staff are not able to offer physical assistance when boarding or disembarking from the buses or at any point during the tour. Guests should be comfortable getting on and off the bus on their own or with the assistance of a travelling companion.

Asked on March 31st, 2025Would it be possible for us to leave the tour at the end of day on the 25 th and take a train back to Milan?
- Rabbie’s Small Group ToursOperator•Written April 2025
If you would like to depart the tour earlier, that is no problem. On day 5 of the tour, you will be spending the night in Interlaken. Please note that the transportation back to Milan earlier is of your responsibility. Once the booking is confirmed, just pop us a message so we can leave a note for your guide to be aware.

Asked on December 3rd, 2024is there time from Lautterbrunnan or interlaken to go to Grindelwald first and Jungfrau?
- M
Michael
Traveler•Written December 2024do we go to varenna or bellagio in lake como?
- Rabbie’s Small Group ToursOperator•Written December 2024
As for your questions, you have a around 6 hours in Luterbrunnen, so there is quite a lot of time to explore. However, if one wants to take a trip all the way to Top of Europe, Jungfraujoch, the time to do that will be limited and you might not have time for anything else - your guide will make sure to instruct you about the details, though. A stop to explore Grindelwald is not part of this trip - it is part of our other 6-day tour, Exploring the Landscapes of Switzerland. We do visit Lake Como on day-1 of the tour, and spend quite some time in Lenno, but we do not stop in Varenna or Bellagio.
