4 Country Tour - WoW!
I just wanted to come here and thank Payam our driver/guide for giving us a wonderful day exploring 4 Countries. Yes - it was long, but we enjoyed it right up to the end. It was absolutely amazing seeing a little of Lichtenstein, Austria, Germany, and Switzerland all in one day. Yes - in each place - I wish I had more time, but it gave me enough time to see each beautiful place and learn some interesting facts from Payam. I will be planning an extended time to explore these areas in the future. Thanks again for the safe, comfortable, informative, interesting, and beautiful tour.
Operator response
Thank you, Lisa, for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that Payam made your journey through 4 countries such an enjoyable and memorable experience.
We look forward to welcoming you back for your next Swiss adventure.

AlpExcursion is INCREDIBLE!
Beyond a fabulous experience! We spent 2 days driving from Zurich to Mount Pilatus and Lucerne and the second day to Mount Titlus and Interkocken. Paul was our guide and provided endless historical knowledge from the area. Beautiful car and everything in time and relaxing. The scenery was gorgeous! Payam picked us up in Zurich our 3rd day to travel to Basel. He turned us on to several unique spots that we will remember forever. 10/10 experience!

Great Walking Tour of Lucerne
Kayleigh was our guide this morning for a two hour walking tour of Lucerne. As with all employees of AlpExcursions, she promptly met us at the designated location. Kayleigh’s walking tour was outstanding. We covered many of Lucerne’s historic landmarks and its old town area. Kayleigh is a Canadian who moved to Switzerland five of so years ago, but her knowledge of Lucerne was at the level of a native. She has a fun and energetic personality and it was a great pleasure to spend a couple of hours with her. This walking tour was our second of our trip to Switzerland. Both guides were provided by AlpExcursions which is highly recommended to all.
Operator response
Dear customer,

We truly appreciate your recommendation and are delighted to have been part of your Swiss adventure!
Best regards,
AlpExcursion Team
