Most Outstanding Tour Guide in Switzerland- Children and Adults!
My husband hired Jonas to accompany us and our 3 children, under 12, to Central Switzerland's tallest mountain, Mt Titlis, on Christmas Day. We never would have been punctual according to the SBB railway clock having to catch 2 trains just 4 mins apart from our hotel in Basel without him for that I am certain. Jonas is extremely patient and well mannered and made us all feel so relaxed. Jonas had all the fine details taken care of so there was never a hitch on our 10 hour excursion. Jonas knowledge and enthusiasm of the area was a delight. We enjoyed every minute with him. He is quite famous with the hotels and other hospitality people as his reputation has proceeded him as the most loved tour guide around. Most amazing was that our children could not get enough of him - and they were willing to try new things because of his enthusiasm and outstanding role modeling. He got to know their personalities and understood exactly how to captivate their interests. Jonas is a remarkable tour guide and a great human being. We will never forget him.
