You will receive the vehicle that best fits the number of travelers in your group, ranging from a sedan to a van for groups of up to 7. Depending where you travel, you can book anything from a sedan comparable to a Toyota Corolla to a Mercedes V-Class to a Classic Cuban Car. While the exact model may vary, we always ensure that the vehicle provided meets your needs in terms of safety, reliability, and comfort. You may be upgraded to a larger vehicle class free of charge depending on availability. Since our largest vehicle seats 7, for groups larger a combination of vehicles will be used. We will send you the exact vehicle details a few days before your trip.
Everywhere except the USA, drivers will supply appropriate child seats (just let us know during booking). In the USA, certain states require you to supply your own child seats.
Know more about traveling from Fribourg
Yes, and the surrounding region is ideal for it. Gruyères — the hilltop village that gives the world-famous cheese its name — is only about 36 km (22 miles) from Fribourg and pairs naturally into a single day. With a private transfer, adding a stop like this is straightforward: you simply include it in your route rather than reworking train schedules or returning a rental car. Many travelers combine the two into a half-day in Fribourg and a half-day in Gruyères for a satisfying loop.
Fribourg sits in a convenient central position in western Switzerland. It is approximately 34 km (21 miles) from Bern, 160 km (99 miles) from Zurich, and around 150 km (93 miles) from Geneva. A private transfer puts you door-to-door without navigating Swiss parking, which is limited in the Old Town and adds unnecessary stress to your day. You arrive relaxed and ready to explore, and your driver can pick you up exactly where and when you want to leave.
A full day — roughly 7 to 8 hours on the ground — is the sweet spot. That gives you time to wander the Old Town, climb the 365-step tower of St. Nicholas Cathedral for panoramic views, ride the historic funicular down to the lower city, and linger over a meal. Fribourg is compact and walkable, so you can cover its highlights without feeling rushed. One day is genuinely enough to experience what makes the city special.
It is, and for a specific reason: Fribourg feels genuinely different. Where Bern is polished and civic, Fribourg is rawer and less visited, with a steeper, more dramatic geography and a bilingual identity that gives it a distinct cultural texture. If you have done the Swiss highlights and want something that feels like a real discovery rather than a repeat experience, Fribourg earns its place on the itinerary.
St. Nicholas Cathedral is the centerpiece — its Gothic tower and stained-glass windows are among the finest in Switzerland. From there, the medieval Old Town rewards slow exploration: cobblestone lanes, 11 historic fountains, and bridges spanning the Sarine gorge. Do not miss the funicular, one of the last water-powered funiculars in the world and the only one powered by sewage water — a quirky piece of engineering history that has been operating since 1899. The Poya Bridge also offers sweeping views of the city and surrounding landscape.
Fribourg is one of Switzerland's best-kept secrets: a remarkably intact medieval city where over 200 original Gothic facades line the streets, virtually unchanged for centuries. It sits on a rocky promontory above the Sarine River gorge, giving it a dramatic, almost cinematic quality you won't find in better-known Swiss cities. It also sits on the linguistic border between French-speaking and German-speaking Switzerland, meaning you experience two distinct Swiss cultures in a single visit. For travelers who want authentic medieval Europe without the tourist crowds, Fribourg consistently over-delivers.
