For car-free villages and restricted mountain areas, the chauffeur may travel only as far as an authorised road terminal. The onward part can require a local train, shuttle, cable car or another service. When that applies, review the handover with the team and check whether third-party tickets are included or need to be purchased separately.
Full itinerary
The day plan below follows the stop order held in the published itinerary. Times attached to a stop are planning information and may need adjustment for traffic, queues, weather, seasonal opening hours or mountain transport. Switzerland's roads and Alpine access can change quickly, so a workable tour leaves enough time for travel as well as the visit itself.

09:30 · Departure from Zurich
10:00 · Laufen Castle
11:00 · Rhine Falls (Rheinfall)
12:00 · Schaffhausen Town

What is included
The confirmed chauffeur service covers the private vehicle, the assigned driver and the road itinerary stated in the booking. Attraction admission, meals, accommodation, mountain railways and other third-party products are included only when the booking summary expressly lists them. The checkout and written confirmation take priority over general page copy if there is any difference.
Vehicle choice should reflect both people and luggage. Give an accurate count for adults and children, then declare suitcases, skis, pushchairs, wheelchairs and other large equipment. A vehicle's maximum passenger number does not guarantee space for every luggage combination. Special seating or accessibility needs should be discussed before the service is confirmed.
Meeting point and duration
The meeting point is the exact pickup location recorded in the final confirmation. Use a specific hotel, airport terminal, station or street address rather than a broad city name. Add a reachable mobile number and flight information when relevant. On the travel day, keep the booking reference and meeting instructions available in case the chauffeur or support team needs to contact you.
Duration is determined by the number of itinerary days and the confirmed daily plan, not by the title alone. A one-day tour still needs realistic road time between stops, while a multi-day itinerary may use different pickup arrangements each day. If you have a fixed train, flight, restaurant or event after the tour, share that deadline before finalising the schedule.
Frequently asked questions

What should I bring?
Bring any travel documents, clothing suitable for the forecast and the items needed for the planned stops. Declare large luggage, child equipment or mobility needs before booking.

Timing or stop order may need adjustment for traffic, weather, opening times or access restrictions. A material change to a confirmed booking must be acknowledged by the team.
