Large family trip to Switzerland flying in to Zuring and out of Milan
Switzerland

Jul 13 - Jul 19, 2025

We took a large family trip to Switzerland (9 adults, 9 children with ages from 6-76) starting in Zurich and ending in Milan. Our local guide, Ricardo, was amazing with his knowledge of the areas and helping us on our trip. But, the most important thing to our family, was how he put in effort to get to know our family members and was able to adapt the trip to our preferences during the trip. Our bus driver was also amazing: on time, professional, a skilled driver and caring for our family. The local Kim Kim specialist was able to work with me to plan the trip with activities that would be good for our family and then Ricardo was able to customize the activities further during our trip based on his knowledge and our interests. The hotels were located in wonderful areas to be able to explore the cities during our leisure time. We felt safe and well taken care of during our time in Switzerland.
Hotel Reviews
Family friendly hotel that was able to accommodate our group of 18 (9 adults, 9 children). The hotel was clean and staff were helpful and kind.
Beautiful hotel in a good location. We were able to walk to areas of the city and local attractions easily. The rooms were great for families and the room with the rooftop balcony was very special. The front desk staff were very helpful. Breakfast was good and the facility was well taken care of.
Beautiful hotel, comfortable beds and nice staff.
Beautiful hotel lobby and staff tried to be helpful. The check in process for our large family group was long and difficult compared to other hotels. While the rooms were nice, they were hot and did not cool down at night. I talked with staff about the air not going below 24.5 C, and was informed that is the best they could do.
Hotel was in a nice location to see the lake, but it was a longer walk to the city center for shopping. Hotel staff were nice and helpful after there was a miscommunication with luggage. Rooms were nice and clean. Wonderful breakfast available. Nice pool available for use which the children enjoyed.
Activity Reviews

This was one of our favorite activities. The lake is beautiful and a lot of fun to explore in kayaks. The kayak guides, Ben, Ryan and Mika, were amazing with our family. They led us in games we played on the lake and were able to accommodate our different ability levels with ages from 6-76. We had a wonderful time and would recommend this activity to everyone!

We enjoyed our tour of Interlaken with our guide Nina. We went to the Woodpecker Woodshop and enjoyed the demonstration and shop there. It was lovely and cute. Then we went to a local dairy farm to see the happy cows and sampled the local cheese. It was a wonderful experience and the kids enjoyed it. We then went to the Funky Chocolate Club. We had a chocolate tasting and really enjoyed our time there. The chocolate and education received were top notch. I would also recommend this experience.

Bellizona is a beautiful city with wonderful history. We did a walking tour of the city and saw some very beautiful, old buildings and learned about its history. Then we were able to go up to one of the Castles and explore it. There was a museum with a movie that was very interesting, even to the youngest in our group (6 years old). We did enjoy this experience.

We skipped this experience due to our preferences at the time. So, I cannot rate it.

We enjoyed seeing the waterfalls and the medieval village. We were at the village on a Sunday, so some of the shops were closed. The river was beautiful to see and the kids were able to wade in the water to have some fun.

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that your family trip through Switzerland was such a meaningful and memorable journey.
