5.00Unforgettable experience! Every stop offered something unique — from exploring the impressive Beatus Caves to enjoying a relaxing cruise on Lake Thun surrounded by breathtaking mountain views. The highlight was the cheese tasting, where we got to sample authentic Swiss flavors. The entire trip was well-organized, scenic, and full of local charm. A perfect day for anyone who loves nature, culture, and of course Swiss cheese!
One of the best days of my trip!

5.00The tour exceeded all my expectations! Visiting the charming town was such a beautiful experience, and exploring the caves was absolutely fascinating. The lake cruise was breathtaking, the scenery was straight out of a postcard. I also loved the cheese tasting; it took place in a lovely, authentic Swiss shop with a wide selection of delicious local cheeses to try. Everything was perfectly organized and truly captured the best of Swiss culture and nature. THANK you Jhon!

5.00We wanted to do something different and this tour fully provided it. We visited the charming city of Thun which has some nice views towards swiss Alps, Beatus caves which are a nature wonder and finished with a cheese tasting with a selection of around 6-7 cheeses. Needless to say that the cheeses were super tasty and fresh. We had a very nice tour and never felt rush.
Exceeded all expectations - Highly recommended!

5.00What a fantastic tour! I had a wonderful day with my family. We started with a city tour in Thun, where our amazing guide, Julienne, told us about the history, the frescoes, the castle, and shared artistic insights about Switzerland and the city. Then, we visited the Beatus Caves, where we spent over an hour exploring. It’s a bit of a workout, but we never felt rushed, and it was such an interesting experience. We finished by tasting cheese at a local shop — everything was well organized and absolutely delicious. What a hidden gem! I didn’t expect to see so much beauty in one day. I highly recommend this tour! 😊
