Pam Schewe Pam spent many years working in radio broadcasting in Vancouver but decided that instead of working in order to travel, she would be much happier traveling for work. The only real difference between the two careers is that now she can tell immediately when her jokes are not funny. “Is this mic on…??” Read More

Chris Tripodi Chris travels because it is the most interesting thing he can think of doing between meals. Anyone can buy a plane ticket, but helping a country come alive through its people, sights, culture, cuisine and customs is what Adventures Abroad is all about. Chris enjoys the inevitable challenges, the unforgettable moments, the warm people, the stories shared, the memories made, and every single morsel of each tour. Read More

Jonathan Hodgson Jonathan has lived much of his life dedicated to the idea that he would rather have a wealth of experiences than a wealth of riches. Having taken up a nomadic lifestyle shortly after finishing his undergraduate degree, he has been on the move on and off over the last 25+ years. The wanderlust has taken him to basing himself in places such as Scotland, Australia and Uzbekistan, and to visiting many more locations around our planet. Now (sort of) settled in Vancouver with his wonderful (and patient) family, he still loves the idea of having the world as his office and always enjoys trying to capture the essence of the locations he travels and tours in with his photography.

Victor Romagnoli I love the excitement of getting up each morning on a tour and not knowing exactly how a day will unfold. It keeps me on my toes so to speak, and adds a breath of excitement to each day on tour. With almost 30 years of tour leading under my belt, I thank all of you for being a part of this exciting journey. Read More

Frequently Asked Questions

ASK A QUESTION

01. Do you need a visa to travel to Switzerland?

U.S. travellers and European residents do not require a visa to enter and exit Switzerland, provided your intended visit is for 90 days or less. Passports or EU identity cards are still required from all countries, no matter your duration of stay.

02. Is Switzerland safe?

Switzerland is considered one of the safest countries in Europe for both travellers and residents. Violent crimes are almost unheard of, though tourists are considered prime targets for petty crimes. Pickpockets and cell phone theft have risen, but take the proper precautions to secure your belongings before going out, and you should be fine.

03. When is the best time to visit Switzerland

If you want to walk the cobblestone paths and get in your fill of hiking trails, the best times to visit Switzerland are April-June or September-October, when the weather is warm but not hot, and the tourist numbers are low. If you’re going for the ski slopes or to participate in other winter sports, the best time to visit is January-February, when snow is guaranteed.
