Utazzo Swiss Italy Customized Tour - 9 Days 8 Nights Private Journey
Overview & Highlights
Not every traveller wants to move in a large tour bus with fifty strangers, and that's precisely where Utazzo's Swiss Italy Customised tour fits in. Built as a private, small-group experience, this nine-day route begins in Rome's ancient quarters, drifts north through Florence and a Pisa day trip, crosses into Venice for a canal-side evening, then climbs into Switzerland for three unhurried nights around Zurich and Central Switzerland. A dedicated private vehicle and flexible timings mean fewer rigid schedules and more room to linger at whichever stop captures your attention the most.
Highlights
- Step inside the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica on a guided half-day tour through Rome's historic core.
- Wander through Florence on a panoramic city tour, taking in Renaissance architecture before a day trip out to Pisa's tilting tower.
- Drift through Venice's narrow canals aboard a thirty-minute gondola ride, gliding past centuries-old bridges and sunlit waterside facades.
- Ride the rotating cable car up Mt Titlis, capturing glacier views during a full panoramic tour of Central Switzerland's alpine belt.
- Travel in a private coach throughout, allowing flexible stops and a genuinely personalised pace across all four cities visited.

Other Info
This is a private, customised tour rather than a large group departure, so rates and inclusions are structured for six to eight travellers moving together, and pricing may shift for smaller or larger group sizes. Given the private vehicle has a maximum driving limit of nine hours per day, certain long-distance days may require early starts, so confirming exact timings with Utazzo ahead of booking is advisable.
