5.00Our 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

3.00Spent 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.

5.00Peter 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.

2.00Guide 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.
