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!

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!

Great experience !
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 !

Winery Tours and Tastings
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. .

Good way to see Basel
This is an excellent way to see the best sites in Basel. The tour is leisurely with a couple of stops for photos and stretching your legs. The commentary was very well in sync and easy to hear. The driver was excellent and fixed a problem with commentary player, and did not rush the people at stops. Overall a great experience and well worth it with the Basel card discount.

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!
