One of the best decisions we made for our ten year anniversary trip to Switzerland. The first and last day of our trip were on our own and they were chocked full of stress. This tour was truly the most fun FILLED and stressLESS trip of our lives!! Our guide Robbe was great at adapting to our specific needs while also keeping us on track to fulfill our desires during our time together!! I was super hesitant to book a tour based on the price per person but looking back, it was more than worth it. If we would have tried to do this itinerary on our own we wouldn’t have even gotten to do half of what we did without the guide. We came, we saw, we conquered!! Super cool, we were able to add a paragliding and wake surfing experience to our tour! He was also great at giving dinner recommendations and booking reservations for us.
