What people are saying about Bern

Our guide Martin was by far the best guide we had in the three days of tours we took with your company. He explained more about Zurich on our drive out and back to the city than any other guide. We also learned about Swiss architecture and village life. He drove happily through the Swiss countryside, giving interesting details here and there, and even played some traditional Swiss music. His Mercedes minibus was clean and comfortable. As for the tour itself, this is a great combination of driving through the beautiful farmlands of Switzerland and seeing some of the smaller towns along the way. The visit to the biscuit factory and the cheese making were an informative bonus loaded with coffee and plenty of free samples. We even got a bag of treats to take home. This tour is lovely.

It was just our luck that it was raining during the trip, hence, we did not get to see as much as we wanted at Bern (my fault as I forgot my raincoat). However, the visit to Kambly and Emmentaler and the countryside scenery despite the rain made up for that. And Peter was such an amazing guide that he made sure that we get the most out of the tour despite the weather. He was very warm and helpful with all the guests and accommodated special requests as much as he could. He assisted my friends and I in our request to be dropped off at the nearest train station on the way to Zurich and he even found us the train timings to book for a shorter journey to Interlaken. Would recommend this tour especially if it was Peter who will be the guide.

Very well organized trip. The tour guide was very competent and passed on a lot of background knowledge. The stopovers at Kamply and the cheese dairy in Emmental were very well chosen and were fun and very informative. The city tour in Bern was great and the time for exploring on our own was appropriate. It was a great day.

The wow guide Peter was exceptional. Small van, interesting explanations, no crowd, no rush, small cute presents on the way. He took a country road instead of a highway just to show us the amazing views around and it was worth it! And Bern city is truly beautiful . Had a lovely time.

Wonderful private tour from Zurich to Bern. The guide's work was exceptional.
