- Foodiewhentraveling0 contributionsPrivate tour of the Swiss mountainsThe private tour was fantastic. Our guide and driver, Gonçalo was professional, courteous, patient and an excellent driver. The vehicle was comfortable and practically brand new. He gave us the history, showed us hidden sites and the trip enjoyable, efficient and safe. The tour is pricey and Switzerland is an expensive country, but safety and trust is worth it.Written December 28, 2024
- igolova0 contributionsAbsolute loved it - recommend!I have booked a guided tour of Zurich Old Town, lake cruise and Lindt home of chocolate for a large group of delegates in November and had a great experience with Swiss Epic Tours. Hadassa made sure everything is organised smoothly. Vasilis (tour guide) was friendly, fun and shared a lot of knowledge about Switzerland, Zurich and its people. Everyone absolutely loved the tour and were pleased with everything! Thanks team!Written December 12, 2024
- jeffreycZ3975YC0 contributionsGreat Day Visiting JungfraujochOur trip to Jungfraujoch was extraordinary. Swiss Epic tour Guide/Driver was punctual extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We arriveed at Grindlewald and took two trams/gondolas to the summit. The vistas are just indescribably spectacular (you have to see it to believe it. At the summit we had a delicious Swiss lunch of Fondu and Rosti (You have to try the Rosti). What a day!! Special thanks to our new friend Josepl Jeff & NancyWritten November 23, 2024
- Megan126810 contributionsDon't Look Any FurtherI cannot say enough good about this company! Such a joy to work with! They provided an amazing tour (Ricardo was pure driver guide) of the Alps and then on the spot transfers another day to Lucerne. Don't bother to look any further... this is the company you want to work with!Written November 6, 2024
- martyk8950 contributionsNice tourGreat walking tour and we saw much of the old city . Guide was very friendly and informative. Boat ride was short. Lindt tour was nice. They gave many free samplesWritten September 29, 2024

- jamesmlinton0 contributionsA wonderful afternoonWhat a wonderful afternoon, Fernando picked my mother and I up promptly at our hotel in Zurich and took us on a drive to the Rhine Falls, and helped us negotiate the large queues to get fantastic vantage points. He then took us back to Zurich for a tour of town and various vantage points before dropping us back to our hotel. If you need a tour guide, Fernando is your man!Written August 1, 2024
- marcellorR5335GO0 contributionsAmazing tour even better guide.Best tour I’ve ever done hands down. Jean was the best tour guide/friend anyone could ever ask for. He answered a lot of our questions and was extremely knowledgable overall about not only switzerland but the entire europe. We had an amazing time and he took us through the most of the most beautiful parts of Switzerland while avoiding the crowded/tourist roads as well as taking us to eat some of the best fondue I have ever had. I highly recommend this tour as not only the tour guide was phenomenal but, also the transportation was very comfortable (mercedes van).Written June 8, 2024
- stevehY8561SD0 contributionsAmazing Swiss ExperienceWe traveled through Switzerland with 2 other couples, and I could not imagine a more enjoyable vacation. Ceilio was our tour guide, and by taking us to hidden gems he made the trip more personal and impactful. He was entertaining, very knowledgeable and professional. He made sure all our needs were met and helped us navigate any issues that came up. I would also like to thank Francisco, who had to the responsibility of getting us to the Interlaken train station one morning. He was our driver the previous day and I mentioned I was a little worried about getting everyone on the right train. He was not familiar with the Interlaken train station, so he took it upon himself to go the night before to the station, find an optimum place to park and then walk through the train station so he would know the quickest route to our car. The next morning instead of just dropping us off, he parked, took us to the right location and made sure we got onto the right train car. No stress! I would definitely recommend Swiss Epic Tours to anyone......Steve H.Written November 9, 2023
- GermanFelt0 contributionsPrivate Zurich highlights tour!We only had a full day to spend in Zurich and wanted to take in as much as we could through a private tour. Fernando picked us up and we were off to the best spots and saw Zurich from many different angles. The tour was awesome and Fernando is professional and knowledgeable! It’s worth every penny and you will have wonderful memories and pictures of Zurich!Written November 1, 2023
- Inspire277284043830 contributionsSwiss Epic Tours is highly recommended!!! Seek out Carlos for a private tour!Our private tour with Carlos from Swiss Epic Tours was excellent!! We can’t say enough about his knowledge and professionalism. He was also very personable and catered to us from beginning to end! He even went over our allotted time to make sure we got the experience of the Swiss Alps!!! Five stars to Swiss Epic Tours and Carlos!!!Written October 26, 2023
- bmcquillan240 contributionsThe ONLY tour company to use while in Switzerland!There is only one tour company you should use for your time in Switzerland, Swiss Epic Tours. Everything you expect from a first class tour organization, responsive, knowledgeable, accommodating and a pleasure to deal with. It starts with Catharina who listened to what we wanted out of our tour and helped us create a great itinerary. She was always available and was the reason we chose Swiss epic. Our guides, Fernando and Pedro did the rest. They were an absolute joy to deal with and did everything possible to make sure we enjoyed our 4 days. Thank you for making our time in Switzerland outstanding! We will recommend you to all family and friends.Written October 8, 2023
- Experience8247320 contributions30th anniversary Swiss AdventureCatherina and the Swiss Epic Tour Team were consummate professionals..my wife and I celebrated our 30th anniversary and wanted this trip to be a big adventure of seeing as much of Switzerland within a timeline of 7 days …in a stress fee and Hi-End environment. We made many changes along the way and they were easy to work with and accommodate us without any issues or concerns. Our Travel Guides Celio and Fernando were absolute RockStars who put us before themselves and asked us what we wanted to do for the day rather than going the easy route and showing us the normal tourist traps . Each day we felt like we were going on another incredible secret adventure . Celio and Fernando felt more like family after this trip rather than tour guides and we look forward to sharing more adventures with them in the near future .. Thank you again Swiss Epic Tours for taking such great care of us… we greatly appreciate your incredible service and professionalism… Cheers to you and your team for making our trip; one we will never forget 👍Written October 7, 2023
- Freedom971070 contributionsWe love our driver/guide Nuno L!We are a family of 13 members travelled from the USA, Taiwan & Romania, and we took a private tour with Nuno L from Zurich. Nuno is very thoughtful, responsive and agile to take care of our needs for our customized private tour. We have a mix of children and elderly- which is hard to manage everyone, however, we all enjoy our time and we would book him again for a private tour when we return Switzerland.Written September 18, 2023

I booked a private tour for our group, family of 8 members ranging from ages 35 to 88. Catharina was fantastic with keeping in touch with me and accommodating my wants and keeping attention to my needs and considering the ages and physical limitations of my group. Every email with questions were answered promptly with comforting answers. It was easy to choose Swiss Epic Tours as the company I wanted to take care of us for our first trip to Switzerland.
Mr. Stephan greeted us at our hotel promptly with a big cheery smile and demeanor. A beautiful and comfortable coach with more than ample room for all of us!! The sights he brought us to were those out of postcards!! Unbelievable how beautiful this country is! In additional to the sights, Mr. Stephan was so animated in his stories and history of the country. It was easy to tell that he loves his home, and it made us fall in love with it also!

This tour exceeded our expectations and a great way to see some of the beautiful landscape of Switzerland. Our guide picked us up at our hotel in Lucerne and was extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the area. He scheduled a full day tour and was flexible to make some minor adjustments based upon once he better understood our interests. You will see some breathtaking country and he took us to a small restaurant at the top of a mountain with fabulous views. I would recommend this full day tour if you are staying in Lucerne or nearby and have the time.

We spent our Christmas holidays in Switzerland this year. That was a truly magic experience and Swiss epic tours made it even better. We saw snow, beautiful villages, waterfalls, mountains, lakes, Christmas markets… the best tour in Switzerland! All was customized as per our wishes and we were driven around in a brand new Mercedes Vclass. The car was comfortable, clean and our host nuno the best guide we ever had! He understood our wishes and took us to places we could only dream of! The best tour company I have ever worked with and I would definitely recommend them for a holiday to Switzerland!

What a wonderful day we had with Stephan. Touring the countryside while perfect weather made for a great trip up to Jungfrau. Stephan was super knowledgeable and a joy to tour with. He pointed out several sights that I'm certain we would have never noticed. Very delightful. We gave him ideas of what we would like to see based on pre-trip planning with Catharina and off we went. The day was incredible and lifelong memories made.
Catharina was the best in preplanning. She was always prompt in answering our many questions. Very easy to work with and excellent communication. We would definitely look her up for future trips. Please give our best to Stephan and than you!!

I booked Swiss epic tours months ago and the communication between Catharina and the other staff was always amazing. We had a little hiccup in our itinerary yesterday and they completely accommodated us. Fernando was our guide and he felt like family. He was early to get us and knew we were on a time crunch. He took us to the best locations for the time we had. The weather and views were perfect and we had the most amazing day. Switzerland was absolutely beautiful and pictures will never do justice for what we saw. Thank you Fernando and Swiss epic tours for treating us like family. We will forever remember our day there. ❤️

We had an amazing day with Fernando. The transportation was 1st class, as was the entire day. Fernando was very knowledgeable and really made sure that we saw all of the incredible sights. He went above and beyond to make this experience unforgettable.
The beauty of the region is unmatched and being able to experience it with short hikes, as well as incredible views was special. The local village of Isenfluh was a highlight and Fernando was very accommodating to our requests. I highly recommend Epic Swiss tours for any adventure you seek in the alps. Ask for Fernando!

We had a private tour with Fernando. We have gone all over Europe and he is BY FAR the best guide we’ve ever had. When he picked us up, the first thing he did was ask us what we wanted to see and do, what we liked and didn’t like, and he took it from there. He is very knowledgeable and super friendly. If you are thinking of taking this tour with Fernando your biggest regret will be if you decide NOT to go. Just do it. It will be a day you won’t forget.

The beauty of this trip is almost indescribable. The Swiss Alps did I not disappoint. Our guide was very knowledgeable of the area and took us to some “hidden gems”. Our lunch spot was delightful and the views were stunning.
