Exploring Switzerland on Your Own Terms: A Personalized Day Tour Experience
If you’ve ever wished for a travel experience that puts you in the driver’s seat, this “I Drive You Anywhere” tour in the Canton of Bern might just be what you’re looking for. It’s not your typical guided trip — instead, it promises a day where you decide what to see, where to stop, and how long to linger. From lakeshores to mountain peaks, this tour offers the freedom to craft your perfect Swiss adventure.
What really stands out are two things: first, the fully personalized route that allows you to tailor your day, and second, the VIP comfort of traveling in a spacious Mercedes V-Class. But, as with any flexible tour, one thing to keep in mind is that it isn’t a traditional itinerary with set stops, so you’ll want to be clear on what you want to explore ahead of time.
This experience is ideal for travelers who love to take control of their day, enjoy scenic drives, and appreciate a relaxed, stress-free approach to sightseeing. Whether you’re traveling with a partner, friends, or a small family, this tour offers a comfortable way to see Switzerland your way. However, if you prefer a structured schedule or are on a tight timeline, this might require some planning on your part.

The Journey: What to Expect from the Tour

This tour begins with a pickup in Zürich, making it very convenient whether you’re staying in the city or nearby. From there, the day is yours to shape. The driver/guide, who speaks multiple languages including English, Arabic, Italian, and French, acts as your personal chauffeur and local expert.
The real draw here is the freedom to craft your itinerary. Do you love lakes? You might want to spend several hours at Lake Brienz, soaking in its turquoise waters and capturing photos. Or maybe you’re eager to experience a cable car ride up to Harder Kulm or Schilthorn for panoramas that will leave you breathless — both are highlighted options for a thrill and stunning views.
One of our favorite aspects is the stop-and-go nature of the tour. You can hop out for photos, enjoy light hikes, or relax at a mountain-side café. Since the guide also acts as your personal photographer, you’ll have professional-quality shots without the hassle of taking selfies or asking strangers.
The vehicle itself is geared towards comfort, plenty spacious for groups or families, making those long drives feel more like lounge sessions. Plus, if you’re traveling with pets, arrangements are possible, which is a thoughtful touch for animal lovers.

Why the Highlights Matter

The cable car rides to Harder Kulm or Schilthorn are real treats. They give you access to some of the most famous vantage points in Switzerland, with sweeping views over lakes and mountain ranges. The stop for photos or a lakeside picnic is not only scenic but also allows for spontaneous moments of relaxation — a nice break from busy guided tours.
The hidden gems and scenic spots that the guide can introduce you to are what elevate this experience. Unlike traditional tours that stick to a set list, your guide’s local knowledge unlocks lesser-known spots, making your day more unique. The inclusion of professional photos is a thoughtful bonus — a way to remember your Swiss adventure vividly.
The Itinerary in Detail

While the tour is customizable, a typical day might include a stop in Interlaken, famous for its stunning mountain backdrop and lakes. Travelers have reported spending about 6 hours in Interlaken, exploring at their leisure. Whether you’re interested in taking photos, walking through the town, or simply soaking in the views, this flexible stop makes for a memorable part of the day.
Afterward, the driver might take you to Lake Brienz, where the turquoise waters are perfect for a peaceful stroll or a lakeside snack. The guide’s ability to stop wherever you desire means you can tailor this part of the trip to match your interests.
Notably, the return to Zürich wraps up the day, bringing your Swiss adventure full circle. The flexible timing ensures you aren’t rushed, and you can decide how long you want to linger at each spot.
The Value: Is It Worth the Price?
Starting at 145 CHF per person, this tour offers a unique value for those who want a personalized, VIP experience without the hefty price of private car rentals or guided group tours with rigid schedules. The professional photos included are a nice touch, giving you high-quality memories without extra cost.
Compared to traditional tours, you’re paying for the luxury, flexibility, and local insight. If you love spontaneous adventures and want to avoid crowded bus trips, this kind of tailor-made experience can be very rewarding. The small group size (up to 8 participants) adds to the intimate feel, making it easier to ask questions or change plans on the fly.
