Your health, well-being, and peace of mind are paramount to us.
Although the world's circumstances have fortunately changed, protection and prevention are still top priorities today as the travel industry, including The Zurich Insider™️, continues to adapt to the latest Swiss and international guidelines.
Before You Travel
Travel protocols vary from country to country and are subject to change as new information becomes available (even at the last minute). Therefore, please always check them shortly before your departure.
Traveling to Switzerland
✈️ For Switzerland's entry & stay regulations and restrictions, the Swiss State Secretariat for Migration SEM and its visa provisions list can provide more information.
⚠️ NEW FROM MID-2025 - ETIAS
ETIAS is a new European travel authorization system similar to the USA Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA). Visa-exempt third-country nationals who wish to enter the Schengen area must apply online for an ETIAS travel authorization, which costs 7 euros and is generally valid for 3 years.
Health, Travel & Cancellations
Before traveling, we strongly recommend reviewing your insurance to ensure you have appropriate coverage to meet your and your travel companions' needs in case of loss of property, illness, injury, or death.
We strongly recommend that You obtain travel and cancellation insurance for the entire duration of your trip. This will provide further protection from unexpected circumstances that might force You to cancel your trip.
Although our General Terms & Conditions and Cancellation Policy are more flexible than ever, we can not predict all eventualities or cover a short-notice cancellation. The Zurich Insider™️ does NOT offer health, travel, or trip cancellation insurance.
However, we offer a "No-question-asked" tour cancellation assurance for an additional fee. Please consult our Cancellation Policy for more information.
⚕️ For more information about Switzerland's current health measures and ordinances, visit the Federal Office of Public Health BAG website.
Our Experiences
As a primarily walking and outdoor company, our Experiences take place in airy, outdoor spaces, helping to minimize risk and encourage social distancing.
Transportation
Should you have booked an Experience where private transportation is included, we ensure that enhanced sanitation measures are in place:
-
Regular vehicle disinfection
-
Regular guide & driver health checks
-
Possibly wearing a face-covering inside the vehicle
Leaving Switzerland
Check with your home country's policies on testing, post-trip self-isolation, and the latest travel advisories.
We understand that travel can involve extra steps; however, we will try to make your Experience with us as effortless as possible. We are looking forward to welcoming you to Zurich and Switzerland.
Our health protocols and guidelines are subject to change. Please visit this page when your travels bring you to Switzerland.
TRAVEL & Safety 2025
Over the last few years, the circumstances have evolved, and the restrictions previously in place have been lifted in many instances. However, our recommendations are still practical suggestions that may help you with your travel plans.
