New York City
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.

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!

We have a great time. Colin was a pleasure and the wineries we visited were ready for us and we tasted a lot of time. While we know the wine making process in the states it was interesting to hear the was it is done in Baden. Very personal tour and worth the money. Love it !

Colin, our guide and driver was knowledgeable, safe driver and friendly. All the wineries he chose, gave us a generous sampling of a variety of their wines, along with an explanation of their process and a tour of their facilities. It was a glorious day. I truly appreciated that he did not drink any of the alcohol which made me feel very safe. .

We had a wonderful day, and an excellent guide! 5 stars!
This is an excellent tour! Our guide, Mary, ensured we were catching the correct trains, and was flexible with our wishes. I traveled with my 82 year old mother who uses a cane, and Mary was very careful with us. Mary gave us personalized service. We had a private tour which allowed us to adjust our itinerary. We highly recommend this tour. Request Mary as she has a wealth of information about the area.
