Ride Zurich by electric tuk-tuk, see its top sights, and enjoy Swiss fondue with white wine on this private 90-minute city tour.
“We had a wonderful evening with Stephanos, he was fun and very knowledgeable, brought us all through and around the city. The wine was delicious and the cheese fondue was even better. Served with fresh crusty bread, small potatoes and complimented with pickles and picked onions. Despite the rain we had a great time!”
Explore Alsace from Basel with Colin Bell, tasting boutique wines and visiting Eguisheim, Riquewihr, Ribeauvillé, and Kientzheim.
“We just finished up our tour of Alsatian wineries with Colin and what a fantastic day we had! Colin picked us up at our hotel and along the way gave us stories and history and local wine knowledge before stopping at our first winery. Ultimately, we visited three wineries, two medieval towns, and a nice little Alsatian restaurant for lunch. The wines were all wonderful, and the company as well. Highly recommend!”

We highly recommend this tour and outstanding guide Marc to experience Swiss wine at its best!”
Taste Swiss wines near Maienfeld, visit local vineyards, and enjoy Rhine Valley views on a private three-hour tour for small groups.
“The wine tour with Markus was fantastic!! We saw 2-3 vineyards and were able to see the grapes being harvested up close in the field (lucky timing for the harvesting). The wine tasting and seeing the production process was very educational. Markus made entire experience fun and enjoyable. I would recommend this small group wine tour and tasting to anyone visiting Zurich. The 1 hour train ride from Zurich to Landquart was easy and you get to see some of the pretty Switzerland landscape/mountains on the train ride.”

Walk Lavaux’s UNESCO vineyards from Lutry to Epesses with local wines, a two-course lunch, village stories, and panoramic lake views.
“A great opportunity to sample little know Swiss wines and learn about the climate and ‘valleys’ of Lavaux. If you can, get Marc for the guide. He is a great story teller, absolutely knows the people, region and wines, and has an interesting background hailing from New Zealand. A great guy and foot tour guide. Make sure you sip the 1887 Vermouth. This is a great afternoon excursion with a good lunch and plenty of wine.”
Review of the Lausanne and Montreux panoramic wine tour, with Lavaux views, local tastings, snacks, transport, pricing, and booking advice.

Review of a private Geneva trip to Lavaux vineyards, with Chasselas tasting, hotel pickup, scenic Lake Geneva views, and a private driver.
“This is one of the best tours out to the wineries and our driver Eric was over the top incredible. His knowledge, humor and personality left us wanting to book him for every private tour. Book the private tour is worth the money and created a flexibility in scheduling. Highly recommend booking this tour and hell while you’re at it request Eric if possible. Spend the money and create lasting memories. We lived in Geneva 50 years ago and this tour brought us back to so many fond memories.”
Taste Vaud wines, visit Chillon Castle, and enjoy Lake Geneva views on a small-group day tour from Geneva.
“Pros: lots of wine! Off the beaten path - We would not have been able to travel to these places without a guide. Amazing views of Lake Geneva. Friendly English speaking tour guide and hosts at each winery. Cons: A miscommunication caused use to wait an hour to be picked up. I recommend contacting the tour guide in advance to confirm pick up location and time. It’s a long day- Our tour included 2 wineries, visit to Chateau Chillion, and 1 tasting room representing multiple wineries. Each location was in different regions, so there was lots of driving.”
Review the private Baden-Württemberg Pinot tour from Basel, with family wineries, Kaiserstuhl views, tastings, lunch, and practical booking advice.
“We spent a beautiful day with Colin who's knowledge and expertise of the area and wines made this one of the best wine experiences we've ever had. His relationships with the owner/operators allowed for an intimate exposure to their wineries and wines. If you're looking for a unique, special experience, this is the one.”
Cycle Geneva’s quiet paths to Satigny vineyards, taste eight local wines, and explore Vernier with a small group and Swiss e-bike.

Taste Chasselas, visit Domaine du Daley, and explore UNESCO-listed Lavaux from Montreux on a private four-hour wine tour.
