What are your Covid guidelines ?

Of course Health and safety come first, since Covid - 19 has entered our world extra care must be taken. To create a safe tour environment we expect our guides and travelers to protect themselves and the community. Please do not go on a tour if you have been in contact, are sick, or experiencing Covid - 19 symptoms yourself.
Avoid physical contact between guides and travelers. Wear masks while in enclosed spaces and keep the appropriate social distance. And lastly be aware of any local guidelines. Your guides  will be knowledgeable of all the local measures.

What if I need to cancel my tour?

Tours can be canceled for 100% refund until 7 days before your tour. You may receive a refund for the tour until 24 hours prior to the tour, if you are prevented from taking the tour due to an “unforeseeable event”. The determination of “unforeseeable events” is at the discretion of Swiss Walking Tours. You maybe asked for verification of your “unforseeable event”. Otherwise tours canceled within 7 days but before 24 hours of the tour will be charged 30% of the tour price. A refund will be issued of 70%. Tours cancelled less than 24 hours prior to the tour are non-refundable.

Is bad weather “an unforseeable event”?
In Switzerland there is no bad weather, only bad clothes. Everyday is not a sunny day and sometimes we tour in the rain and cold. Therefore inclement weather is not an “unforseeable event”.
