Hi Rayam,

Welcome to MySwissAlps! My advice would be to first determine what it is that you prefer to do. The "best tour" means different things to different people. Do you like museums, hiking, visiting peaks by cable car, traveling all the time or one base? The top menu offers quick access to tips about activities, towns and regions. The planning section helps finding a tour package or planning your own trip.

It's about 4 hours to reach the Swiss border from Venice. No need to fly. You may want or need to depart before 17 PM though.

Once you have a plan, feel free to post questions about it here. A rail pass can best be selected based on that plan.

Hello Arno,

Thanks for the reply. I would like to visit the famous museums, visiting peaks by cable car, any cruise tour or boat ride, hiking, shopping etc.

We will be finishing our tour at Venice on 1st August 2015 at 6PM. After that only we can leave Venice and Swiss. Please advice us what and how to travel to swiss. ?

On 2, 3 and 4th August we want to make tours. We like to do full day tours / sight seeing from 9 AM to 6PM. Please give us a idea or a tour plan for these 3 days.

I have given u the tour plan of us. Please suggest a tour idea how we can make use of the swiss tour perfectly and with good memories.

thanks

Hi Rayam,

I think staying in Lucerne is worth your consideration. It has museums, nearby peaks and trails, shops and a lake. Zurich and Bern can be reached in an hour for even more museums.

We don't make itineraries here, but you should be able to make a planning of your own if you start on the pages Arno and I linked to. And, as Arno said, feel free to post your itinerary here if you're looking for feedback. The planning section Arno referred to also offers sample itineraries and (customized) tour packages if you prefer not to do the detailed planning yourself.
