The trip was so enjoyable, visiting interesting destination in three countries surrounding Switzerland in a just one day. The transportation and the host/driver was comfortable and very kind and helpful. He makes the journey a personal touch vacation trip. Me and my wife were very much enjoy it.

Snapshot visits in a few cities along a beautiful landscape. Not a lot of free time everywhere but driver was very flexible and accommodating based on weather. A bit pricey for the experience but we had a comfortable ride and pleasant driver.

It was a very nice tour, you could tell straight away that the night watchman has extensive knowledge. It was great that he conveyed this knowledge in such an entertaining way.

The booking went well. We didn't have to show the QR CODE at the normal cash desk, but at the "Info Kassa". Then we got the tickets immediately.

We didn't like the sea life in Constance that much. Something has come down. We were last there about 10 years ago, when everything was still great.
