The behaviour of the guide was pretty much helpful and the information that he provided during the visits to different places, was very informative. Overall, the experience was pretty good for me.

The experience was nothing but extraordinary. Andy our tour guide was amazing and I hope that when I come back to Switzerland, we can go on more adventures with him again.
