Description

Drive through the lush green rolling hills of the Emme Valley with typical Bernese farmhouses in abundance. Stop at probably the most famous “swiss cheese with holes” place in Switzerland. See the production and sample some of the delicious cheese itself. Drive to the Lueg Memorial and walk up to the viewing place and monument offering spectacular views of the Alps from a far. The journey then takes us onto the Nations Capital city Bern. First for a panaromic view over the city, visit the Rosengarden, a beautiful park with over 250 varieties of roses on offer in summer. Park at the famous Bear enclosure and see the symbol of the city who have been here since the 15th century. Visit the 15th century built gothic style Cathedral, the tallest church at 100m and stroll past a house where Einstein lived in the early 1900s. You will then be infront of the Zytglogge (Clock Tower) ideally on the hour. If you want to cool off, why not join the locals and swim or float in the River Aare.

Best Private Tour

Great Tour - he picked us up at our Hotel. He took us for a private tour to our ancestors city that we determined. It was off the normal roads. We went to a town and he walked with us and even talked to strangers for us. He was truly an excellent guide and very helpful. He then took us to Bern - we had no idea where to go and he makes recommendations and wow we had a great time. We stopped at a restaurant with an outstanding view. We then toured the city and he made it easy - by running back for the car and picked us up after our tour.

Chris, the perfect guide you are looking for :)

Wow, what a wonderful time we had with Chris! He is an amazing guide with a great sense of humor who takes care of even the smallest thing in your trip. We went on a 2 days tour of Emmental, Bern, Bernese Oberland with him, he has an immense knowledge of the area, its culture, history and took us to some scenic Swiss spots which we would not be able to reach otherwise. We are back to Singapore, and our 6-year daughter still remembers and misses Chris. We would definitely recommend him as a guide (who will become your friend), if you are looking for a memorable private tour of Switzerland. Cheers Chris!
