Pricing Overview


Switzerland Big Brother Backpacking Alps Appenzell Seealpsee


Big Brother Backpacking is proud to announce a whole new style of travel tours!

As the trip is entirely up to you, there is no way we could truly give a price that would reflect all  on of our tours for all of our customers. Our basic tours start at €2850 per month and increase depending on variables decided by you, the traveler.

For all pricing, dates and itinerary questions or comments, please be sure to contact us for more details. As all of our itineraries are up to the customer, various changes can be made to the price based on customer desire (such as booking in groups, choice of accommodation, country preferences, etc).

If you are looking to join a group tour, please let us know well in advance so we can find other like-minded travelers and plan accordingly.


 

Remember, unlike bus tours, our prices are set with all expenses included!

At Big Brother Backpacking, we don't believe in hidden fees. Traveling is an expensive activity as is, and we have no desire to lure customers in based on false promises, invisible costs or hidden incidentals. When we say all expenses are included, we mean it!

The cost of your trip includes but is not limited to:

  • One Eurail Global pass valid for the entirety of your European trip.
  • All food, snacks and drinks.
  • All accommodation in a variety of hotels, hostels and camp sites.
  • All inner-city bus, subway and other transportation fares.
  • All museum, national park, UNESCO world heritage site admission costs and other related fees.
  • All other unforeseen incidentals.
  • One professionally photographed and edited album of your trip.
  • One experienced guide per (maximum) five travelers. We keep our guide to student ratio so low to make sure that individual desires can be fulfilled without stepping on any toes.
  • Tents and other camping gear can be provided by Big Brother Backpacking if requested.

The cost of your trip does not include:

  • Airfare from home to Europe. We would be happy to book and add the price of airfare for you (if you desire), but as flight costs change with regularity, and many people choose to use frequent flyer miles,  it is better to leave it as a decision for the customer without imposing.
  • Your ISIC application fees. If applicable, you are requested to bring an International Student Identification Card for your trip. For more information on applying, please check here.
  • Traveler's insurance. We require that all of our students come equipped with ample traveler's insurance.
  • Medical insurance. Although most of our students will probably already have medical insurance in some way or another, it is a requirement that our travelers' insurance adequately covers them for trips abroad.
  • The lederhosen you are going to want after trekking the Alps.
