5.00Great experience! Rose was our guide and we were lucky to have just the 2 of us on the tour so she was great at adjusting to sights we hadn't seen yet. She was also wonderful at knowing where good camera shots and providing recommendations for restaurants and things to do. Highly recommend her. Also, the app double booked us and although they refunded my money before we knew that was going to happen Rose was very sweet and said if they didn't she would refund her share at least.
Pleasant and efficient presentation. Exceeded expectations

5.00Rose was knowledgeable about Swiss history and had a pleasant presentation. We covered a large area without feeling rushed or hurried. We moved along at a nice pace yet it accommodated our group of septuagenarian travelers. She was also able to answer questions and show us the absolute best place to buy Swiss chocolate. It exceeded our expectations
Strong recommendation

5.00Rose was a wonderful guide who opened up wonderful girth of knowledge and hidden places I would have either missed or under appreciated had she not shown our family. We had wandered through the streets for two days prior to our tour and could not have known this history. Highly recommend her tour.
