Advice on trip itinerary from 2nd May to 10th May
-
Dear Madam/Sir,
Hello! I chanced upon your wonderful forum and immediately wanted your expert advice and suggestions for my upcoming tour. I shall be going to Switzerland from 2nd May to 10th May, 2016 to attend a conference in Basel. I shall be in Basel for 4th and 5th May only. Rest of the days will be for touring.
My tour operator has given me a sample itinerary below. Please see it and answer my queries. I shall be thankful for your suggestions. I will be travelling with my wife and 2 kids (12 yrs and 7yrs of age).
My queries are as follows:
- Does the itinerary cover the major tourist attractions?
- On day 4, can I not taken an evening train to Interlaken, instead of spending another night in Basel? That way I can take the Jungfrauch tour on Day 5 itself.
- On days 6 and 7, I would like to visit Gruyere town especially for it’s chocolate and cheese making history (my kids would love it). Is it feasible?
- On day 8, reach Lucerne for day excursion to Mt Titlis.
- On day 9 return to Zurich form Lucerne.
I hope this is not too much travelling for the kids. I really want them to visit Gruyere. Please suggest how best can the itinerary be fitted with our conference and not missing the other major attractions esp. Gruyere.
Thanks
Sumeet
