From Zurich: Crash Landing on You Private Day Trip

Experience the Magic of Switzerland and K-Drama in One Day

If you’re a fan of the mega-popular Korean series Crash Landing on You, this private day trip from Zurich offers a rare chance to see the Swiss settings that brought the love story to life. For around $823, you’ll spend approximately 8 hours exploring breathtaking spots like Iseltwald, Lake Brienz, Mount First, and the Panoramabrücke Sigriswil. Your guide (we loved Joseph, who was both friendly and knowledgeable) will take you in a private, comfortable vehicle, giving you the freedom to soak in the scenery at your own pace.

What really stands out about this tour is its focus on authentic locations that fans will recognize. We especially appreciated the detailed storytelling from guides like Joseph, which added rich context to each stop. The stunning views of Lake Lungern and Giessbach Waterfalls alone are worth the price, but the real highlight is walking in the footsteps of the characters amid Swiss landscapes that look like they were plucked from the series.

A potential consideration? The tour involves quite a bit of driving, with stops totaling around 2.5 hours in transit, so it’s best suited for those comfortable with a full day of exploration. Also, lunch isn’t included, so planning a picnic or bringing snacks makes sense. This experience is ideal for fans of Crash Landing on You, couples seeking a romantic adventure, or anyone who dreams of discovering Swiss beauty beyond the typical tourist spots.
