5.00Daniela was a fabulous tour guide. She showed us all around the beautiful city that she is so proud to call home. From the streets of the university, the funicular ride to the castle, the views, the church visits and walk to the bridge, all were fabulous. She provided special dinning and shopping ideas and took time to get to know our family.
Informative and Beautiful!

5.00The views were absolutely breathtaking, and some of the best photos from our entire trip through Germany, France, and Switzerland came from this tour! We really enjoyed spending time with Daniela and learning more about her beautiful country. Although the rain put a slight damper on the day, Daniela went above and beyond to make the most of it. We ended the tour sharing a bottle of wine overlooking the castle—such a memorable and fun experience!
