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.

Basel to Zürich Scenic Private Transfer with Alpine Stops 1–4 pax
Paul_G, Aug 2026
Best "airport transfer" ever
This "airport transfer" turned into a top 10 day. We're a 72-year-old couple who travelled through five countries with our lifelong friends to celebrate a 70th birthday. Aarno showed up 30 minutes early. The four of us already knew we had a new friend in Aarno. Aarno's friendly style and knowledge of Switzerland was just what we hoped for. We had a disappointing Rhine cruise because of low water, but this day saved our adventure. It began with a scenic ride toward the Alps in a very comfortable MB van to Interlaken where we made several memorable photos beside the beautiful twin lakes. The cable car ride to Murren was breath taking. We had lunch at a restaurant overlooking an endless valley with snowcapped Alpine peaks and parasailers floating above and below. Aarno joined us for lunch and helped us negotiate the cable car and winding alleyways of Murren. We bought the most delicious chocolates in Interlaken. We arrived at our hotel in Zurich exhausted and smiling. During the entire day we laughed with Aarno as we shared "Sopranos" stories (we're from NJ) and Grimm fairy tales. We hugged Aarno goodbye and vowed to meet again.

Fun time in France
We went to beautiful villages. Everyone always talks about Colmar but we liked the other two better. They were smaller and retained more of their charm. The tour was at our own pace so my mom didn’t get overwhelmed. Our driver is very knowledgeable about all the places we went to.

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!
