Michelle is the best!!! - Our experience with our tour guide MICHELLE was AWESOME!!! We had sooooo much fun, laughed so hard, that our tummies were hurting. I would choose Michelle over anyone. She was very knowledgeable throughout the whole trip. We enjoyed her so much we paid for an extra hour to extend our tour. She was so prepared for us, since we didn't even think of taking water.

Great day! - Wonderful views, close to Lucerne with easy walking to take the gondola and cable car to the top, then down on the cog railway to the lake. Much to do at the top including food and various short walks.

A deeply unprofessional and disappointing experience. - I booked this small group tour in good faith for my friends (including a toddler and two 10-year-old children) expecting professionalism and care. Instead, I encountered one of the worst customer experiences I’ve had in Switzerland. Jonas, the guide, changed the meeting time the night before at 21:59 without proper notice or confirmation. Despite clearly communicating our arrival time (10:15, as per the tour confirmation), we were blamed for a “no-show” and left to find our own way. Attempts to coordinate were met with condescending and passive-aggressive replies, rather than support. He refused to take responsibility, dismissed my concerns, and repeatedly ignored my request for reimbursement of the service not delivered. The tone of the messages speaks for itself—disrespectful, arrogant, and far from what you'd expect from someone entrusted to lead family-oriented tours in one of Switzerland’s most beautiful regions. We still enjoyed the destination, but the guide added stress and left us feeling cheated out of a service we paid over 800 CHF for. I do not recommend this guide or this tour company and hope they reconsider who they allow to represent them.
