Great Tour

Our tour guide, Christian, was wonderful. He was very informative. We learned a lot about Switzerland. We enjoyed each of the stops, especially the cheese tour!

Must Book!!!!

Monika was our leader, who gave us really excellent info and facts. She spoke English very well. The tour itself was fantastic. The stop at Rapperswil was really nice to look around and have a bite to eat. Next was a castle and abbey. Absolutely stunning. Then we got a cheese factory with cheese and wine tasting. Last was the Lindt chocolate factory. We really enjoyed the smaller van and group of 12 total. Best tour we’ve done so far. Highly recommend it.

Ask for Konrad

Konrad is an excellent tour guide! Easygoing fellow. Eager to share his knowledge of the local area. During breaks, he gladly shared his vast global travel experience and advice when asked. We hope to have him as our tour guide again - in Zurich or somewhere else on the planet!
