Coach to Rhine Falls and Stein am Rhein from Zurich, with Castle Laufen access and a guided walk in a mural-filled medieval town.
“Wear comfortable shoes and enjoy yourself. The waterfall is spectacular and our tour guide Cristian was the best part of the tour.”
Zurich by tram and on foot with a private guide plus an optional 1-hour lake cruise for views from the water.
“Very enjoyable tour of Zurich. Our tour guide Rolf was an excellent guide. Unfortunately the heat that day was a bit tough but the boat tour helped”
Private Bern walking tour with hotel pickup, tram links, Rosengarten views, Zytglogge clock tower, and the Federal Palace in 3–4 hours.
“We were picked up at the hotel and, despite the bad weather, we were able to walk under the arcades of Bern without any umbrella. Mike was our tour guide and he told us a lot of everyday-things about Bern. We really enjoyed getting a few insights away from the main road. All in all…”
A small-group Lucerne walking tour plus a 1-hour Lake Lucerne boat ride, hitting Chapel Bridge, St. Leodegar, Lion Monument, and the KKL pier.
“Perfect experience, saw a lot of the Lucerne and learned a lot about its rich history, pretty much every step of the way. For our family (w/ two youngish kids) it was the right amount of duration, walking, information, without it ever feeling or becoming exhausting. Highly recommend.”
Half-day private country walk from Lucerne with a local English guide, Lake Lucerne views, Pilatus and Rigi outlooks, and optional pickup.
“What a unique way to explore the country side of Lucern, with our tour guide Dave. We started our day with Dave meeting us at our hotel and taking us on a bus to the country side. Once we got there, the views, smells and interactions took our breath away. Even though it was a…”
Private half-day Lucerne with local guide Lino: Chapel Bridge, Old Town, Musegg Wall, hilltop Château Gütsch, plus an optional Lake Lungern extension.
“The private half day tour was a lot of fun and very informative. It was great to see the sights while in Lucerne. And if you want to have lots of great photos taken while on your tour this is the tour for you. Lino is a very good photographer and a very nice young…”
Half-day from Lucerne to Stanserhorn via Stans, riding the open-air double-decker Cabrio and enjoying 2 hours on the summit.
“Our guide, Michael was great! The cable car ride was amazing. Unfortunately the weather was stormy so we didn’t see much. Suggest checking out the weather and canceling before 24 hours of the tour, unless you are ok with not seeing much. We actually had a blast! A hike in the rain, the eeriness of…”
Private half-day from Zurich to Rhine Falls with hotel pickup, castle viewpoints, panoramic lifts, and a seasonal boat ride close to the falls.
“Martin was prompt, organised, knowledgeable and a joy to be around. We finished up at the falls a little early so he did some research and found us a castle to go see, with a winery nearby where we could do a few tastings. It was a really lovely day!”
Panoramic ferry from Lugano to Morcote plus a guided lakeside walk with Santa Maria del Sasso, 404 steps, and Scherrer Park.
“This tour is misleading at best. We had to go to a random information office to get our tickets. The two information girls weren’t really able to answer our questions. We were on a water taxi rather than a 30 person tour boat. There were several “pickups” along the way. It took approximately 50 minutes…”
