bern is a beautiful place it is a unesco heritage must see but driver/guide was not what we expected. he was like a tourist. it’s as if it was his first time to enter in some places. don’t send a guide who is a first timer in a place especially for private tour which is what we booked. in the einstein museum, we wasted about 15-20mins because we were in the wrong room which he insisted that it was the right room. the audio guide was does not tally with what we were seeing. i was even the one who led us where the correct museum is.
Dear palenci23 Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Our customers' feedback helps us improve our services. We are sorry that you were not entirely satisfied with this experience. Let me clarify a few points regarding the tour. 1. The driver/guide's job is to transport clients comfortably and safely throughout the tour, providing general information about the places and attractions visited. They cannot "guide" inside museums, castles, and other sites that have their own "official, authorized guides." These establishments usually offer audio guides in several languages for their visitors to choose from. 2. The visit to the Einstein Museum was not planned and not included in this tour. Your driver/guide kindly offered it as an alternative to the visit to the Einstein House, which, as you may recall, was closed that day. 3. We regret the 10 minutes of your valuable time that you wasted in this museum and hope that this will not deter you from trying our other tours.
Peter our driver showed up right on time. He was a wonerful guide and driver. Showed us all the important things to see in Bern. I would highly recommend him. Took us to see everything we wanted to see and showed us where to buy the gifts we wanted .
Dear Madam, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with other users of Viator. I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed this excursion and would be happy to see you on any other of our Tours. Kind regards Peter
