An Amazing Panoramic Train Experience!
We had a wonderful experience on the Panoramic Train Tour this past June. Everything was very well organized from start to finish, and the scenery throughout the day was absolutely beautiful. Our guide, Marcelo, was extremely informative, attentive, and professional. He shared many interesting details along the way and made sure we were comfortable throughout the entire tour. The vehicle was also excellent — very clean, comfortable, and perfect for the journey. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and one of the highlights of our trip to Switzerland. Highly recommended!

Fabulous 40th Anniversary Switzerland Trip
Chris was an incredible guide, and we absolutely loved our time with him. He is knowledgeable, personable, and always kept us entertained. Touring with Chris allowed us to experience so many beautiful off-the-beaten-path places that we never could have reached by train on our own.A special thank you to Kate Tucker Travel for connecting us with Chris and planning such an unforgettable trip in celebration of our 40th anniversary. We are so grateful for the memories and couldn’t recommend Chris with Typically Swiss Tours highly enough!

Magical Day in Zurich
Cynthia was one of the best tour guides my wife and I have ever had the experience of meeting. The tour of Zurich was in a word - outstanding. Cynthia explained the history of Zurich in addition to the realities of every day life in the city. She has a wonderful sense of humor - was easy to connect with and relate to - and was incredibly engaging. This was one of the highlights or our trip and I enthusiastically recommend Cynthia.

Cindy was our guide and she was amazing. Extremely knowledgeable about Switzerland and its history, well prepared, informative. From the delicious cheese tasting and visit to the ancient city walls and Einstein’s locker to professionally navigating the rainy windstorm, we enjoyed a very educational and interesting tour. Highly recommend Cindy and this tour.

Extraordinary experience!
What an amazing day! We could not have been luckier than being paired with Chris Wilson of Typically Swiss Tours (typicallyswisstours.com). From his very first question, we knew we had an expert behind the wheel. Rather than just follow some predetermined route, he asked what WE wanted to see. After telling him what we had done already, he suggested what turned out to be a PERFECT day trip. And at each location, he even was able to suggest how to best spend our time. His deep experience, knowledge, and easy-going personality were so much more than we expected. He went above and beyond all day long. We cannot recommend him highly enough! It would be great to have him as a guide for many days. Do yourself a favor and contact him directly. You will be glad you did!

Reichenbach Falls Visit 2023
Our driver's name was Fredy and he was terrific. He picked us up at the Hotel Schwerhof in Zurich and drove us to Meiringen - roughly 90 minutes away - because my husband wanted to visit Reichenbach Falls. Fredy scouted the route and the falls the weekend before our trip - talk about being prepared! His efforts allowed him to advise us on the trail, overlooks for family photos, the Sherlock Holmes Museum, Aare Gorge, and a terrific tea shop with delicious meringue. Fredy kept the conversation going by educating us on the history of Switzerland and its geography. He was a patient, skilled and very careful driver. We would highly recommend Fredy and the trip.
