Genealogy and history journey - My grandparents immigrated from Switzerland in 1910. Martin took me to their family villages and he did the extra research to find the church where they were married. We also went to Rhein Falls and Schaffhausen. Martin is very knowledgeable about the history of the area and is quite congenial. We had many good conversations and I learned a lot. I appreciate his flexibility in building a trip around the client’s interests. Highly recommend!!

In deed a magic adventure - The tour was amazing, the falls are beautiful and impressive, especially we enjoyed the boat trip to the rock in the middle of the rhine falls, that was an unique experience. After we went to the Smilestones and we never imagine that kind of place, it was great and the Forte (Munot) take you to another time. Martin was a great guide, very friendly and supportive and he found a great local restaurant for lunch. We definitely recommed this tour.
