Delightful Zurich day!

Published on Nov, 2024

We enjoyed a perfect day with our guide Martin! We learned so much about Swiss culture and history along the way as we traveled from experience to experience. The day was the perfect combination of local culture, amazing food, and the beautiful outdoor experience at Mt Santis. Martin was very professional and most personable, easily adjusting to our style and desired experiences. Highly recommend this tour with Martin!

Gorgeous and Relaxing

Published on Oct, 2024

This trip met all of our (high) expectations. At our own pace, we were driven around a gorgeous part of the country. Our driver was flexible to allow us as little or as much time as we preferred in different places, like a longer lunch but a shorter time at the gondola (which was partially clouded over). After a somewhat disappointing river cruise, the service and the pace was a breath of fresh air and our favorite place of 5 countries visited. This was pricey but worth every penny.

View the mountain, taste the chocolate and move away from the cheese.

Published on Sep, 2024

We took a drive to Appenzell and to Mt. Santis for a view of the mountains and some residual snow. Beautiful scenery that is worth the drive. We had lunch in a local Swiss restaurant that is owned and operated by fiesty lady who cooked good food. The chocolate factory tour was informative and a delight for all the samples available but the production line was shutdown during our tour. We did our purchase of chocolates here. The cheese factory tour could be more engaging. The samples were given in a small box with the explanation of the age from left to right. We were given small bags to bring home some herbs. What is the connection with cheese?!?!

Great tour!

We had a wonderful tour with Martin as our guide. Highly recommend! Switzerland is a beautiful country.

Great Day Trip!

Published on Jul, 2024

Martin picked us up on time, and we were off. My kids (9 and 11) LOVED the chocolate factory. Mt. Santis was amazing. We had a wonderful fondue lunch at the cheese factory. Martin even added stops for local cherries and a neighborhood zoo we walked through. He provided water and a reminder to bring a jacket for the mountain top. Glad we booked!
