5.00We went to beautiful villages. Everyone always talks about Colmar but we liked the other two better. They were smaller and retained more of their charm. The tour was at our own pace so my mom didn’t get overwhelmed. Our driver is very knowledgeable about all the places we went to.

5.00Wonderful day out! Excellent driver, who was also the most knowledgeable guide. Sun, rain and snow, three countries visited (Switzerland, Germany and France) in one day, plus a great meal in Ste. Hippolyte along the way! What could be better? 100% highly recommended!

The Best Day Possible

5.00We were fortunate to tour with Aarno of Niemi tours. We did and saw so much more than with most tours. Aarno provides a comfortable and comprehensive tour covering not only the well known sights but also places we had no idea about and loved. His suggestions were spot on: A charming village, a waterfall, a delicious lunch with local specialties. He is expert in off the beaten path surprises. He is also extremely considerate and attuned to his passenger's needs going out of his way to provide the best possible experience. When we were dragging a bit after touring Colmar, he took us on an unexpected scenic drive into the Black Forest. Breathtaking. Fortunately, he is also.a skilled driver and enjoyable company. I am confident that any tour with Aarno would be special.
Great customizable private tour!

5.00While my husband was busy working in Basel, I wanted to take a day trip to see Colmar and the Alsace region. I usually don’t like to take private tours by myself (usually preferring to lose myself in a large group when my husband can’t join me) but I’m so glad that I decided to take this one. From the beginning, Aarno was a consummate professional – great communicator, punctual, very safe driver. I learned so much about the regions we visited. He also tailored the tour to fit my own preferences with respect to how much time we spent seeing the sights (a lot!) versus shopping, wine-tasting and dining (just a bit). His prices were also more reasonable than other private tours that I had seen. Definitely a great find and one I’ll remember for the future!

5.00Amazing trip to a two beautiful cities / villlages in France; Eguisheim and Kaysersberg. After a wonderful day in France, on our way back to Switzerland we had a short visit to a very nice town called Endingen am Kaiserstuhl in Germany. To see these lovely picturesque breath taking villages in a real life was a dream come true! Absolutely one of the best days ever!
