Switzerland: Europe's Crown Jewel
We're signed on for "A Week in Switzerland" next summer. 33 years ago, my wife and I went to Lucerne on another Tauck trip, and our group had dinner and a show at the Stadtkeller restaurant. It serves traditional Swiss fare and has live, traditional Swiss musical entertainment. We loved it, and I got to blow a big alphorn,…
I wanted to share some thoughts on this adventure. The previous comprehensive posts were very helpful and especially the many pictures like Mike Henderson and others do. This was our first time in Switzerland. There was a heat wave at the time, so it was hotter than usual. Overall this was one of our favorite trips.…
That some of people have complained about hot rooms. Too hot to sleep. Switzerland is warming up. Any tips appreciated:)
Interested in hearing from people who have done this trip this summer and those who might be going Aug 20. Small group.
Looking for advice on the tipping procedures for restaurants, etc. over there. Getting closer till we leave. Thanks for advice.
We are heading out on the 8th for the the 7/10 trip... a friend's son and granddaughters live there year round and just told her that the weather there has been unusually humid and rainy. So small umbrellas, rain jacket are being packed with the hope that they will act as insurance and we won't need them!!!!
Will be coming off another tour to join up with this one. Are there self-service laundromats at either the Lausanne Hotel or nearby?
Will be taking Ultimate Alps & Dolomites and Switzerland: Europe's Crown Jewel tours back-to-back in June 2026. Plan on traveling by train from Luzern to Lausanne to start the second tour. Any suggestions on train schedules and routes?

I took the Israel/Jordon and the Florence, Venice, and Rome years ago with a friend I met on a previous tour I visited many places in Canada. I went to Madrid, Paris, and London many, many…
I’m very interested in this trip, but I’m a bit concerned about the elevation. I do well up to about 7,000 feet, but I noticed on the map that the maximum elevation listed is 11,333 feet. Are we at that elevation for an extended period of time? I plan to call Tauck as well, but I’d really appreciate hearing from people…
