Unique considerations for Switzerland
- Flights: you will be flying in and out of Zurich airport (ZRH), arriving on July 4 and departing on July 12
- Transportation: we’ll be traveling via train & car rides and will doing a lot of walking, so pack comfortable shoes! Our trains will also have connections in certain destinations and many villages in Switzerland are car free!

Questions about our group trips? We have answers.
What is the age range?
Our trips are open to anyone aged 21+. We offer segmented trips for specific age ranges: Scout Escapes for our Gen Z and Millennial travelers -or- Scout Escapes Beyond for our mother/daughter and Gen X and beyond travelers. We offer different itineraries tailored to each age group to foster friendship and exploration!
Can you explain your pricing
Our group trips are bespoke itineraries, curated with boutique hotels and private experiences. We exclusively select 4 and 5-star hotels and prioritize private guided activities and private transportation with trusted travel partners in the industry to provide you with an exceptional trip that is worth the price tag.
Is this open to first-time travelers?
Absolutely! Our trips are open to first-time travelers and travel veterans alike. We craft our trips in detail and can assist you every step of the way. You’ll be given an abundance of information, including destination info, travel tips, packing list, and restaurant and free-time recommendations. As always, you will also have your expert host and local guides with you during the entire trip!
How are roommates assigned?
All attendees are required to submit an extensive questionnaire that helps us get to know you and pair roommates. We take into account sleeping habits, travel preferences, tidiness, personality, hobbies and interests to choose your roommate. We also open our Instagram group chat if you prefer to find a roommate with someone you vibe with on your own. If you prefer to be solo, single rooms are an additional fee & subject to availability.
Can I explore on my own?
Yes, you can absolutely do things on your own. We have scheduled free time in every destination and provide you with a list of suggestions for activities. You’re welcome to explore on your own or opt in with the group for an optional free time activity.
Why are your trips priced in CHF?
With the ever-changing foreign exchange rate, it’s easier for us to price this trip in CHF as this is how we pay our vendors. But don’t worry – we do the exchange rate for you when sending invoices so you will be charged in USD with our bank’s current spot exchange rate. This rate is subject to change depending on currency fluctuations & will be disclosed to the customer upon payment of each invoice.
Sit back & relax, you’re in good hands

Questions before you commit?
Do we fly from our location to there . Example I’m in nova scotia , Canada. Do I do that on my own or its all planned??
How do I find out full price Canadian?
Hi Krista! We don’t book flights, you will do this on your own! However, you’re welcome to arrive and depart at any time you would like on arrival & departure days and we will have a private driver waiting for you for pick up at the airport upon arrival & to take you back on the day you’re headed home! The price is in USD, however we recommend using Google’s Foreign Exchange Rate to calculate in CAD!
