An Unforgettable, Custom Swiss Family Adventure!

5.00If you’re looking for a private guide in Switzerland, look no further. Joshua, our experience creator put together a personalized day for our family that we will never forget. It was the perfect mix of high-energy fun and local Swiss culture.The adrenaline highlight was definitely the scooter adventure! Flying down the mountain trails together was an absolute rush and had the whole family laughing the entire way.But what made the day truly special were the personal touches and all the local stops. We visited a stunning church, a local bakery, an authentic cheese factory, and got our sweet fix at a chocolate factory.He also set up a wonderful picnic for us where we could just play, relax, and connect as a family, while learning all about the area. Everything felt seamless, high-quality, and totally tailored to our pace. If you want a fun, stress-free day that shows you the real Switzerland, you absolutely have to book this!
Excellent day trip

5.00Christina was amazing! We day tripped from Zurich and got to see so much. We learned about the history and geology of the area, rode gondolas, hiked from town to town, and had a delicious picnic. It was a wonderful way to spend our day in the area. Christina is extremely knowledgeable and lovely to spend time with. We really enjoyed every minute!

5.00Swiss Panorama (Private Tours Switzerland) was absolutely fantastic! Ramona designed our adventure and Julian was our tour guide. Both are tremendously knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with in planning your trip. Julian was unbelievable as our personal guide to showing us how beautiful Switzerland is and helping us enjoy all the magnificent sites.
Wonderful day in the Bernese Alps

5.00Based on the helpful and responsive communication during booking, I felt like we were in good hands right from the start. And on the day of the tour, our guide, Elia, did not disappoint. He was super friendly and seemed to genuinely enjoy his job of introducing us to such a beautiful area and country. Very easy going while ensuring we had an enjoyable and seamless trip. He even had a music playlist coordinated to the different sites and areas we were driving through! Oh, and he’s somewhat of a cat whisperer. Good times. I hope to get back there someday.
Unforgettable day in Glarus

5.00We had an absolutely unforgettable day in Glarusland! Our guides Marc and Joshua were not only extremely friendly but also very authentic. As we were a small group, the tour could be tailored to our needs. You notice the attention to detail in every moment. We would particularly like to highlight the food: some food was prepared by the guides themselves and was incredibly authentic and delicious. From raclette to homemade brownies made of Swiss chocolate on the lake, everything is top! The means of transport, a comfortable Mercedes V-Class, also made the journey very pleasant. Every item on the programme was perfectly organised: Mountain railway ride, sleigh ride, carriage ride - everything is harmonious and a real experience. In short: It couldn’t be better! Absolute recommendation for anyone who wants to experience Switzerland authentically and with a lot of heart.
I absolutely loved this tour!

5.00Amazing tour and truly unforgettable experience! Joshua and Marc were wonderful guides — warm, professional, and full of great energy. From sledding and the carriage ride to deep talks, fun games, and delicious gourmet highlights (including homemade surprises), everything was perfectly organized. Highly recommended — a well-deserved 5 stars!
Best tour guide ever!

5.00Our family of six toured with Elia Fries - who was the best tour guide we’ve ever had! He picked us up in a nice, Mercedes van and had hot tea and patties waiting for us. He stocked the car with bottled water and snacks for the 4 children. Elia was super resourceful, cheerful, and never tired of our questions. Elia was flexible when we wanted to change the plan last minute. He prepared a beautiful fondue lunch lunch for us at a gorgeous park setting. My kids said he was the best guide they’ve ever had and the next morning they told me that they missed Elia! Worth every penny. We are grateful to Elia for making our day memorable, unique, and something special! The Becker Family
Customized, tailored tour

5.00We loved our customized Swiss tour with Elia! He picked us up at our hotel and came prepared with treats and supplies for the day. We specified that we were interested in a snow experience not too far from Zurich. Elia selected a low-key, peaceful location where we could enjoy expansive views of Lake Lucerne and The Alps. We enjoyed a charming Swiss raclette lunch and a bit of snow time. The expense is worth it to enjoy the customized, private Switzerland tour. Thank you Elia!
Perfect Liechtenstein Daytrip

5.00We had the best full day excursion with Elia! We visited Lichtenstein with a trip to the mountains and capital. He prepared multiple food items for our day. Breakfast, snack and lunch were all fresh and such a fun addition. The picnic lunch might be the highlight of the trip. 100% recommend Elia for a memorable Zurich experience!
Amazing Swiss Day

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We spent the day on a private tour with Elia. It was amazing. He was punctual picking us up at the hotel, the van was clean and comfortable and the trip was incredible. We started in Lucerne and ended up in Lauterbrunnen and Murren but how we got there, I have no clue. First stop was a bakery, then a stop to see the cows and listen to the bells. We had a cheese sampling along the lake and then headed to Trummelbach Falls. From there we went to Lauterbrunnen and took the gondola to Murren. What a cute village with incredible views of the valley. Elia then picked a perfect spot for a picnic lunch which was charcuterie with raclette and fresh bread. We ended our day with a stop at a second store and headed back. The day was fun, informative and everything you would have hoped it would be. I would recommend Elia and my Swiss Panorama Tours to anyone. Top notch service and worth every penny!!
