John was an excellent guide. He is knowledgeable and considerate. My hotel was not one of the designated hotel pickup spots. He is willing to come to pick us up. We ran into very long traffic delays. He was patient and didn’t cut short of our trip. We ended up two hours beyond the designed end time.
Many thanks for your positive review. It was a pleasure having you with us—safe travels back home :)
Great day trip! John was perfect and the tour was 4 great stops. Van was new with decent AC. We had 5 people total which was a good amount. Wear sneakers and be prepared to sweat a lot! Might be nice to incorporate some walking up in the mountains (we only walked in valley towns and the cave) and/or a jump in the lake. It is very pricey for what you get but Switzerland is just this way, same trip in another country would be $100.
Thank you for your lovely feedback! It was a pleasure having you with us, and we’re so glad the experience meant a lot to you.
Easy. Comfortable. Guide was great.
