  Great getaway for a day. The old town of Bern is a lovely place to stroll around with plenty of places to eat and shop. Buildings there are picturesque.

  Our family had the absolute best time on this excursion. Andi was a very knowledgeable and courteous guide. It was a small group so Andi also drove. We had fun stops and he is also a very careful driver which is much appreciated when the road is narrow and twists a lot. There are no guard rails on some of the roads so a safe driver is so important so we can relax. Thank you Andi we hope to see you again, the family from Canada.

• Excellent day trip

  Spent too long at the cookie factory. When we got to Bern, the guide almost took off running. The group wanted to stop and take a few pictures, and became scattered. I asked him to please slow down, as my wife had a knee injury. He did not, walked/ran up to a spot, dropped us and said be back at the bus by a certain time. He said he was going to show us the Einstein apartment and did not- we found it on our own. The Emmental Cheese deal was cool, however we wish we had taken the train to Bern and toured on our own. The free cheese and cookies were great. Bern was the main point and we had no idea it was a self-guided tour. Very disappointed with the main part of it.

• Fun and informative day trip!

  Our small group tour with Peter was one of the highlights of our trip to Switzerland. As we traveled he pointed out many beautiful sights and told fascinating stories and facts about the Swiss countryside. Learning about the processes of making cheese and cookies was interesting and delicious, but our favorite part was walking through Bern with Peter’s entertaining narrative. He was so thoughtful and we felt well cared-for with his suggestions and helpful tips. We would highly recommend this tour with this guide.

  Peter was an informative and entertaining guide. The stop en route to Bern, and en route back to Lucern made it a well paced outing. Seeing the countryside was lovely.

• Wonderful way to see Bern and the Swiss Countryside with a phenomenal guide

  My husband and I were in Switzerland for 5 days as part of a 3 week trip to Europe. We went to Lucerne on our own but chose to do a tour of Bern. We met our guide, Monika at a bus station near the main Zurich train station. The tour was restricted to about a dozen people. We set off, first going to Lucerne to pick up additional guests. Monika took us through routes that highlighted the beauty of the country and was clearly well-informed about everything from architecture to history to agriculture. We first stopped at the Emmental Dairy - interesting side trip with the ability to taste various ages of cheese. We then went on to Bern. Monika, got us oriented to the town and Cathedral and then we set off to have an hour and a half of free time (shopping). When we rejoined the tour we left for the Kambly Cookie Factory. After looking at their orientation video (great for little kids) and sampling too many cookies we headed back. Monika used a different route this time, highlighting more of the natural beauty of Switzerland. I felt like I got more of an understanding of Swiss culture, daily life, and history during the tour. It is a good tour made great by a wonderful guide.

  Guide was not friendly or knowledgeable. Cheese stop was not interesting. No cow's. Just recorded cartoon type info.He walked us around Bern with very little commentary and forgot to show us bathrooms after being asked. Jerked the van a lot.

  A shorter time at the cheese factory and the biscuit factory would be helpful to extend the time in Bern. Overall it was well organized and the guide, Martin, was wonderful as well as knowledgable and interesting.
