          A tour of one of the most beautiful places on earth.
          Two members of my family and myself had a one day tour of the Jungfrau region with guide Manuel. We were picked up at our hotel in Basel (on time, by the way). Two of us have mobility issues and Manuel was flexible and designed a tour that worked great for us. And, figured out just the right vehicle. The tour included Lake Thun and a narrow valley of shear cliffs, numerous waterfalls, beautiful villages - it was all spectacular, awesome, and amazing (really). Manuel grew up in that region, so was able to point out features we certainly would have missed on our own. The tour made us fall in love with Switzerland. Manuel is personable, a good/safe driver, has a great sense of humor, and is fluent in several languages - he is someone you can easily spend the day with. He prepared a delicious lunch, plus snacks along the way. We highly recommend this tour and guide. Private Tours Switzerland was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Very memorable day.

          Great experience on the hidden gems tour in Switzerland
          My husband and I had a great day on the “Hidden Gems” tour to central Switzerland. We were picked up in Zurich in the morning by our tour guide Julian, who really took good care of us all day. While driving to lake Lucerne, he explained the rich history of Switzerland and its many cantons. On our first stop, we could experience the picturesque mountain village of Bürglen, where the national hero William Tell was born according to legend. It has a beautifully decorated church which is worth visiting. We also had the chance to taste some fresh bread from a local bakery. After that, we went up to a beautiful mountain valley with waterfalls, where after a short hike we were served a local snack on top of a hill, with tasty cheese, meat and bread. Our guide Julian even offered us traditional homemade hot wine and cookies, as our tour took place in the beginning of winter. The weather was not that great on that day, but we could still experience some stunning views of the mountains. We then had lunch on the shore of Lake Lucerne, with hot raclette cheese, made on a small portable grill. It was super delicious! In the afternoon, we drove up a narrow road to a quite hidden spot where we had an amazing view of the lake and surrounding mountains. In the end, we had the chance to visit a local Christmas market next to a large beautiful monastery, and taste some more of the local specialities. Julian always asked how we were doing, was very flexible regarding the program, and always provided some good suggestions where we could take photographs. We highly recommend booking this tour, as it was a very unique experience and well organized, and we loved to try the local food and drinks.

          Unforgettable parts of our Switzerland trip
          We had booked three separate days of private tours during our 2-week visit to Switzerland, which ended up being the highlights of our entire trip. Our guide, Manuel, was not only knowledgeable, as you would expect from a tour guide, he was also personable, kind, and flexible. He adapted his style to our needs and adjusted the daily activities based on our preferences on the fly as we would ask. This touring company is lucky to have Manuel as a tour guide!

          Unforgettable Private Tour of the Jungfrau Region
          Our private tour of the Jungfrau region was an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, the seamless door-to-door service—being picked up at our Lucerne hotel and dropped off in Bern—made the day completely stress-free. The journey began in the breathtaking Lauterbrunnen Valley, where we marveled at its iconic waterfalls and natural beauty. Next, we ascended to Mürren and rode the world’s steepest cable car—a thrilling highlight! Gimmelwald and Stechelberg offered charming Swiss alpine scenery, and we enjoyed a delightful picnic lunch with Raclette made from cheese our guide brought from his farm, adding a truly personal touch. The tour continued with a scenic walk through Interlaken and concluded at Spiez Castle on Lake Thun. The views of the Alpine lake from the castle were absolutely stunning and perfect for photos. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, enhancing every moment of the tour. This was the perfect way to explore the Jungfrau region’s beauty and charm. Highly recommended!

          Unforgettable Experience
          Our family had the most amazing day on the Winter Fairytale Experience , and it truly became the highlight of our trip! Our guide, Manuel, was incredible. He was knot only knowledgeable and friendly, but also incredibly attentive to each member of our family—especially our 10-year-old, who can be hard to impress. Manuel made sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged, and his warm personality made the entire experience even more special. The tour itself was fantastic! We had a blast sledding, enjoyed a delicious fondue experience, and even got the chance to make our own chocolate. Every moment was fun and memorable. From start to finish, the day was perfectly organized, and we left with core memories that will last a lifetime. I cannot recommend this company enough!

          Private tour to Jungfrajoch
          Fantastic personal and private tour by Manuel! We have had a great time, and Manuel was patient. We went to Jungfrajoch, took many great pictures. The picnic lunch especially prepared by Manuel was really one of the highlights of the day. Totally recommend this tour for a wonderful complete experience!

          Best day trip to Alps from Zurich
          Manuel was a fabulous tour guide! He picked us up with a smile and was pleasant the entire day. Going with the private guide is your best option in Switzerland because you can go at your own pace and see what you want away from the crowds. Highlights of the trip for us: walking into a small church where the organist happened to be performing, the picnic by the lake where Manuel prepared Raclette for us (yum yum yum) and the gondola rides up to the hidden village of Murren. Finally, he was a premier photographer and got us the best pictures in front of the Swiss Alps.

          Recommend This Tour and Nicole as a Guide
          Nicole was our guide for this tour. When she came to pick us up for our tour, it was raining and cold. We discussed whether there were other options we could do on the tour since some of the outdoor activities would be less than ideal. She was very open to making changes to the itinerary. She took us to the Italian Alps area instead. On the way there, we stopped to have a snack by a waterfull and then went to visit a castle. When we arrived at the Italian Alps, the weather was sunny and warm. We had an amazing time walking around the area and a lovely lunch at a restaurant with wonderful views of the water. She took us via an overpass on our way back to the hotel. It was snowing when we took the overpass, and the scenery was beautiful - we enjoyed having three different climates in one day! Nicole was an engaging and fun guide, and I highly recommend requesting her for this tour!

          Don't Miss This Tour
          Manuel was our guide for this amazing tour. One of the couples in our group had some health issues and Manuel was so kind and helpful in assisting them on the tour. The weather wasn't ideal, but Manuel made the tour so much fun we forgot about the rain and mist! We stopped at local villages, went for walks in the countryside and Manual made a local traditional lunch for us in the countryside. The last stop was at a chocolate shop where we were able to have a tour, taste the chocolates and get some gifts to take home. I highly recommend this tour and that you ask for Manuel as a guide!

          Magical Switzerland Tour
          This review is long overdue. I had a magical unforgettable trip to Switzerland thanks to Marc and his tour. We were picked up by Marc at our hotel and brought to several of the most beautiful destinations I’ve ever seen. We were able to enjoy a lunch tasting at the top of a peak with the most stunning views of Switzerland. We saw mountains, lakes, waterfalls, the entire countryside, and were able to pet the cutest baby goats. There is no chance we could have seen or done as much in one day without taking this tour. He also took the best photos and videos of us without us even having to ask, ladies! He is very knowledgeable about the area, a great conversationalist, and a wonderful new friend. Marc’s tour is worth every penny, I cannot wait to come back and take another one. By the way, solana is up!!! 😎

        We can't say enough about the amazing experience we had with Marc and Fabian with myswisspanorama - both are exceptional guides for your once in a lifetime Switzerland experience. They were extremely welcoming, accommodating, and made you feel like part of their family. We explored some beautiful waterfalls, lakes and mountain regions off the beaten path so you felt like you had the entire region to yourself. Would highly recommend them for anyone that is planning a trip to Switzerland - well worth the money !!

        Joshua was a phenomenal tour guide! Very genuine, capable, knowledgeable and is a "picnic " master. He listened to what we wanted to do and delivered even more.
        He had the best stories and even made the history of Switzerland interesting.
        Would definitely do another of his tours if we ever come back to Switzerland.

        *Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
