Ride an eco-friendly eTukTuk through Zurich’s old town, then warm up with Swiss cheese fondue and white wine at scenic stops.
“This was such a nice, relaxing way to see Zurich! The wine and fondue were absolutely wonderful. I would recommend this to anyone visiting the city.”
Private e-tuk-tuk tour of Zurich plus Valais-style cheese fondue and Swiss wine, with old-town views in 1.5 hours.
“Great food with a great guide. Absolute great way to start our first day in Geneva. Enjoyed fantastic fondu while learning about the city.”
Lucerne old-town walking tour plus a 1-hour Lake Lucerne boat cruise, with optional Swiss cheese and wine tasting for small groups.
“The guide, Irina, did a great job showing us the old city and explaining the history. The boat ride was nice, but would have been good to have some commentary so we knew what we were seeing. I’d recommend this if you want the highlights of the city, but it doesn’t cover the Lion so see that on your own.”
1.5-hour private eTukTuk tour in Zurich with hot stone BBQ steak, salad, fries, and a bottle of red wine plus classic city sights.
“Rob was an excellent tour guide and was very knowledgeable and fun to chat to. The food was actually very good and the wine was also excellent, would definitely recommend.”
A 3-hour Swiss Alps half-day wine tour from Maienfeld with small-group tastings, cellar visits, and Rhine Valley views, English guide.
“The wine tour with Markus was fantastic!! We saw 2-3 vineyards and were able to see the grapes being harvested up close in the field (lucky timing for the harvesting). The wine tasting and seeing the production process was very educational. Markus made entire experience fun and enjoyable. I would recommend this small group wine tour and tasting to anyone visiting Zurich. The 1 hour train ride from Zurich to Landquart was easy and you get to see some of the pretty Switzerland landscape/mountains on the train ride.”

“Had a great experience with Sandra. She was a fantastic tour guide and really was very knowledgeable about the beer. She paired the type of chocolate with the type of beer and was impressed at how the flavor profiles. It was an extensive tour and worth the money.”

“This tour is an absolute must if you’re visiting the Lake Lucerne Region! Our tour guide Luís was the best! Not only did he know a lot about the area, but he was also extremely personable. We recommend booking this for the beginning of your trip to Lucerne — Luís provided us with a lot of great recommendations we’ll be stopping at during the rest of our time here!”
Walk Lucerne’s sights and finish with a guided craft beer tasting at Eichhof, plus local food. Private, English-speaking, about 3 hours.
“Glenn was a great guide. He took us all around Luzern, sharing about history and modern day. He also gave great recommendations for the rest of our stay in Luzern. Definitely a great way to get to know the town.”
A full day from Lucerne tasting Swiss cheese, Cailler chocolate, and Lavaux wine, plus guided stops in Bern and the Gruyères region.
“Chris was one of the most excellent and entertaining individuals you can meet. Always carried a conversation and was very attentive to our needs. As far as the trip to Bern, and Emmental, it was wonderful. Love that Kambly Biscuit store. Chris also went out of his way to take us to a small cheese farm and monument hill in the countryside. All in all, it was a fantastic day and we could not have asked for a better tour guide than Chris.”
A 3-hour small-group beer walk through Zurich’s districts 4 and 5, with expert guide Sandro-like storytelling and at least eight 10cl tastings.
“Sandro, our tour guide, was so much fun! We went to several different bars throughout Zurich, had at least 10 beers and genuinely learned so much about each one! We came to Switzerland eager to learn about its history, and I honestly learned so much about beer history. It’s a small group tour so you definitely get personalized attention to all of your questions, I would definitely recommend and book again for my family! Thank you Sandro!!!”
The mountains, the water, the food and the city itself — and the best of each.
