More Than a Tour -
A SWISS STORY YOU WILL NEVER FORGET

Hello, I’m Chris Wilson, founder of Typically Swiss Tours – or simply TST.

Most visitors come to Switzerland to see the famous sights.

I help you experience the Switzerland most visitors never get to see. 

For over 26 years, Switzerland has been my home. During that time, I’ve explored not only its iconic places, but also the quiet valleys, hidden mountain roads, peaceful lakes and charming villages that locals treasure.

In 2018, I founded Typically Swiss Tours with one simple belief:

The most unforgettable journeys aren’t measured by how many places you visit, but by how deeply you experience them.

That means taking the scenic road instead of the fastest one. Stopping because the light over the mountains is simply too beautiful to drive past. Enjoying lunch in a family-run restaurant rather than the place every tourist bus visits.

Every tour is private and carefully tailored to your interests, your pace and your travel style. There are no fixed scripts, no rushing from one attraction to the next and no pressure to tick boxes.

Instead, you’ll experience Switzerland through the eyes of someone who genuinely loves sharing this remarkable country.

My goal is simple.

To help you discover the Switzerland I know and love. Not just the famous landmarks, but the moments you’ll still be talking about years later. Because anyone can visit Switzerland. I want you to truly experience it.

Frequently Asked
Questions

What makes Typically Swiss Tours (TST) different from other tour companies in Switzerland?

Typically Swiss Tours specialises exclusively in private, tailor-made tours throughout Switzerland. Every itinerary is customised to your interests, pace and travel style. Unlike standard group tours, you’ll enjoy a personal guide, flexible scheduling and the freedom to discover Switzerland at your own pace. 

Absolutely. Every tour can be tailored to your preferences. Whether you’re interested in scenic mountain railways, Swiss villages, chocolate and cheese experiences, luxury shopping, photography, hiking, history or hidden local gems, we’ll create an itinerary that matches your interests and available time. 

We offer private tours throughout Switzerland, including destinations such as Lucerne, Interlaken, Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen, Zermatt, St. Moritz, Bern, Zurich, Geneva, Montreux, the Jungfrau Region, the Bernese Oberland and many other beautiful locations. I also create multi-day tours covering several regions. 

Our tours typically include your professional private guide, personalised itinerary planning and transportation as specified in your booking. Admission to places eg cable cars and chocolate factories are not included but often discounted. TST will clearly outline everything included before you confirm your booking. 

TST can usually collect guests from hotels, airports, railway stations, cruise ports or other agreed locations throughout Switzerland. Collection arrangements are confirmed during the planning process to ensure your day starts as smoothly as possible.

We recommend booking as early as possible, particularly during the busy summer season and over Christmas and New Year. Early booking ensures the greatest availability and allows us more time to design the perfect itinerary. However, if your travel dates are approaching, please contact us—we’ll always do our best to accommodate last-minute requests. 

Yes. In addition to day tours, TST specialises in multi-day private tours that can cover multiple regions of Switzerland. Whether you’re planning a 3-day Alpine getaway or a comprehensive 2-week Swiss holiday, TST can design a seamless itinerary including sightseeing, transportation and accommodation recommendations.
