5 stars out of 5 - The tour was wonderful. Beautiful scenery up to the mountains. John was very knowledgeable about each of the stops, our favorite were the Beatus Caves, especially the creek water running down as it reached the lake.

Private Basel to Alps tour - What an incredible day! We saw the most beautiful sights, hiked small villages, hiked in caves with waterfalls in them! Our guide John was the sweetest guy. He was very knowledgeable, a great driver and easy to be around. We would highly recommend this tour!

Wonderful trip in Switzerland - We went on a small group tour with 2 friends and another person out of Basel. Our guide John was very knowledgeable and drove us safely through a snowstorm! The St. Beatus Caves were amazing, Grindenwald was a charming town where we had lunch at a spot he recommended, and we finished in the village of Lauterbrotten, land of 74 waterfalls. Of course it's the end of winter and only one was flowing, but still amazing to see throughout the snow. We highly recommend the trip and our guide.

Top experience - We loved our tour. The fact that we didn't had to go to a meeting point but rather were picked up directly in our hotel lobby was top notch. The tour itself is well organized and in one day we saw so many places around Central Switzerland. Winter scenery was beautiful but now we want to see it again in the summer. See you next year!
