Frequently asked questions
Do Indian passport holders need a visa?
Yes, two separate visas. A UK Standard Visitor visa for England and a Schengen visa for the rest of the countries. Both fees and processing support are included in the package. Apply at least 45 days before departure as UK visa appointments can be slow.
What is the weather like in May and June?
Late spring to early summer with daytime temperatures of 14 to 24 degrees across the route. Italy is the warmest at the end. Mt Titlis is below zero year-round. Pack layers, a heavy jacket for the snow day, and a compact umbrella.
Are vegetarian and Jain meals available?
Yes. All dinners on the tour are at Indian restaurants and most offer Jain options on prior request. Hotel breakfasts have vegetarian items though they are continental in style.
Is this long tour comfortable?
The pace is brisk but balanced with multi-night stops in the four big cities. Coaches are air-conditioned with comfortable seats and washrooms on board. Drives are broken into segments of two to three hours with lunch and rest stops. Bring a neck pillow if you sleep on the coach.
How fit do I need to be?
High. Expect 6 to 9 kilometres of walking per day on cobbled streets, several long coach days, and some short staircase climbs at attractions. Anti-skid grips on your shoes help at Mt Titlis.
What should I pack?
Layered clothing, a heavy jacket and gloves for Mt Titlis, a compact umbrella, comfortable walking shoes already broken in, a power adapter for UK, European, Swiss, and Italian sockets, and any personal medication in original packaging.
