A private tour that will make you fall in love with Switzerland - Pinch me please... This tour was absolutely beautiful. Martin was an amazing tour guide and so helpful for us since he speaks great English. Transportation was comfortable and the views were spectacular with the route he drives. If you are looking at this tour and contemplating, just do it. It will be worth it and at the end you will say, "I am so glad I went on this tour".

Better experience - We booked this Tour to Appenzell and it was impressive. Our guide Martin was very kind and he showed us great places, we would not find by ourselves. The chocolate factory tour was interesting with lots of stations where they explain how the chocolate is made and you can watch also the production. Additional you can make your own chocolate bar and make fancy creations. Tasting samples was also part of the tour and was delicious. The cheese factory tour showed us how these produce the famous Swiss cheese and we could also taste the cheese from mild to strong flavor. The highlight was the Mountain Santis, where you have a great view all over the Swiss alps. We enjoyed this tour a lot and would definitely recommend it.
