Excellent Lucerne and Interlaken tour
We four had a most excellent tour on the Lucerne and Interlaken tour. Our guide was friendly, supportive, very knowledgable about the history and area—we asked lots of questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with our guide. I highly recommend Cool Destinations experiences and will book again.

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.

Great wine tour!
This tour was a highlight of our trip. Colin was an excellent host/guide/driver and a really nice guy! He was highly informative and kept the tour fun and lively. We visited 3 wineries, tasted many fantastic wines and visited a few quaint villages along the way. Colin also arranged a great lunch spot for us too. This is an excellent tour we highly recommend!

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!
