Learning the history, seeing the beauty and our wonderful guide Oscar who went well out of his way to accommodate our needs and made sure we had a valued experience. He truly made the tour remarkable.

Even though it rained during our entire trip, our guide was wonderful and the group was small. It was easy to find our guide in the train station and easy to hear him with only 8 in our group. Train ride was comfortable. The Lion monument was covered for cleaning, so that was a bit of a let down. The guide didn't make us walk there for nothing. But lunch in an authentic Swiss restaurant was awesome and delicious. Great choice. The boat cruise was also impressive. A good narrative with snow on the peaks of the Alps. Rainy day or not, it was a great experience. I would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful day with Abraham. He was very knowledgeable and patient with us. He took the time to find out what we were wanting to see at the pace we wanted to go.

I was thrilled our tour guide was able to arrange for my daughter and me to add the cogwheel train ride to the top of Mount Pilatus which turned out to be the highlight of the tour. Although, we did enjoy the scenic lake cruise IMMENSELY, too!
