5.00just stunning scenery, John was knowledgeable, friendly but did not pound the facts into us. He made space for the grandeur to impress us on its own and he got our adult family vibe.

5.00Panoramic train ride from Lucerne to Interlaken was gorgeous. We started from Zurich on a normal train but the views there still nice and the commentary of the guided gave us a lot of information that we wouldn't know on our own. We were a small group and enjoyed the interactions within the group very much. Would repeat it any day!
Wonderful way to...
