Wide ranging tour with friendly guide. Highly recommended
After a river cruise ending in Basel and spending the day we were going to wander over to Zürich for the chocolate museum. Arno picked us up on time at our hotel early in the morning as arranged. The vehicle was spotless and spacious. We easily stored all of our luggage (4 adults). What a great time and a good value. Arno is knowledgeable and personable. We got a well balanced tour with a broad array of activities covering many interests. Then he dropped us safely at our Zürich hotel that evening. Highly recommend booking with Niemi.

Action-packed day with beautiful views!
Our trip to Lucerne and Interlaken was action-packed! I went with my 71-year-old parents and we all loved it. The train ride was relaxing, and our guide, Juliana, did a great job making sure we knew when to get off and sharing information about the sights along the way.Lucerne was definitely the highlight, and I honestly wish we had more time there! The guided portion includes visits to two churches, which was a nice introduction to the city. Interlaken was also nice to see, but we had very little free time there—probably only about 20 minutes. If you have a sweet tooth, be sure to check out Vittorio Vanni for some delicious Swiss chocolate!There was quite a bit of walking in both cities, so come prepared. Overall, this was a great way to see both places in one day, and I would definitely recommend this trip!

Delightful Guide, Informative Tour
Rafael was the perfect guide. He spoke flawless English which we appreciated and he made us feel relaxed and welcome to the city of Basel. His knowledge was wide, but also deep. He gave us so many interesting facts - not only about the town, but also about the country of Switzerland. We were grateful he closed the tour with restaurant recommendations close by. Highly recommend!

A perfectly amazing day!
It was an amazing day. We saw so much and experienced a train ride, a boat ride around Lake Lucerne with the most beautiful views, a cog wheel ride up the mountain and a gondola ride down after time at the summit and a lovely walking tour of Lucerne. Our guide, Feyssal Gharbi, was informative, funny and made sure we were comfortable and the very best views of everything there was to see. It was one of the best tours we have ever taken.

We are so happy we booked our day in the Swiss Alps. Nicole did a fantastic job. She gave us options and at our request took us to a beautiful, out-of-the-way location away from the crowds. Looking for a personal and unforgettable experience in the Swiss Alps? Ask for Nicole. We had a very memorable experience!

We loved it! Amazing tour
This tour was an amazing experience! We started in Basel and traveled to Thun, where we had time to explore the charming old town and enjoy the beautiful views. One of the highlights was visiting the Beatus Caves—truly impressive, with stunning rock formations and waterfalls inside.We then enjoyed a relaxing cruise on Lake Thun, surrounded by breathtaking alpine scenery. The tour was very well organized, with a great balance between guided explanations and picture time. We also learned about Swiss cheese, which was a lovely cultural touch to the day.It was a full but very enjoyable day, and everything was absolutely worth it. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Switzerland!
