Speaking English isn't a problem in most cases. Especially in tourist centres such as Lucerne and Interlaken, many of the railway and catering industry personell will understand and speak enough English to help you out.

I don't have any experiences with guided tours in Switzerland myself. I'd prefer to plan my own trip and have a flexible schedule, which can be changed even at the last moment. But I understand why you're looking for tour operators, as they can offer relaxed holidays. There's been another topic on this: you could take a look at this if you'd like. Meier Tours, which is mentioned here, offers daily excursions around Interlaken and Lucerne. Swiss Travel Centre, which you've been looking at, is an official Swiss railway tour operator and they have a good reputation. Both programmes you mention look wonderful, but you have to see whether your biking and hiking plans fit in the schedule.

Should you choose one of the tours you mentioned, then a flight from the UK to Switzerland is part of the schedule. If not, you do have the option to make a train journey. This is a fine alternative, as it's rather quick and easy, with short check-in procedures. More explanation can be found on our page on rail traveling from London to Switzerland.
