“Thanasis was our guide and he was FANTASTIC! So funny and good driver, recommending us good things to do and see. Rhine falls was awesome, we couldn't believe that its not part of one of the seven wonders! The chocolate factory... amazing. You can create your own chocolate and see how everything was made. And same with the cheese factory - in the end we bought a truffled cheese that the flavour is ridiculous, so good. Thank you guys so much!!”

“We went for an extended tour of the Rhine Falls and surrounding areas with Payam, who was an amazing guide! He was very knowledgeable and adaptable--getting us onto an earlier tour boat, and putting together added stops when some of the scheduled places were closed for repairs/renovations. Switzerland is a beautiful country, and this experience was an incredible enhancement!”

“What an incredible adventure we had through this tour! Martin, our guide, provided us with one of the most wonderful days during our trip to Switzerland - waterfalls, history, views, and memories that will last forever. Martin was so knowledgable, and on top of that, so friendly, funny, and kind, and he made our day even better just by being in his company. We have two teenagers, and they both raved about this experience, so you know it has to be good. :) Highly recommend this tour ... you'll love every moment of it! Thank you!”

“Diego was our tour guide and driver. He was pleasant to deal with and knowledgeable about the places we visited. It was a full day tour, with Rhine Falls as the highlight. It was amazing to see the falls upclose ad personal, and with a rainbow! Diego accompanied us and readily offered to help our group of 6 take pictures- and he took great pictures, pano, framing and all! We also stopped at a local cafe that had delicious pastries. After he dropped us off at the hotel, he came back later in the evening after finding a little electronic widget that my friend didn’t even realized yet that she…”
