Good guide, good experience!

5.00We went for an extended tour of the Rhine Falls and surrounding areas with Payam, who was an amazing guide! He was very knowledgeable and adaptable--getting us onto an earlier tour boat, and putting together added stops when some of the scheduled places were closed for repairs/renovations. Switzerland is a beautiful country, and this experience was an incredible enhancement!
Very happy with their services after using their services multiple times in the past 3 years.

5.00We had a great time in Rhine falls with AlpExcursion on 13 October. Paul was very helpful explaining everything to us. We have booked with AlpTransfer many times for all our tour transportations in Switzerland. Very easy communication and confirmation via email and the services are always on time and professional drivers. I highly recommend AlpTransfer and AlpExcursion services.
Great guide/driver: Great company.

5.00We did a private trip to Rhine Falls and Black Forest from Lucern with Paul and Simon. The trip was great but the conversations we had with the 2 of them during our 8 hour excursion made our entire vacation memorable. Our thanks to you both.
Great start to a week in Switzerland

5.00My wife and I had the good fortune of being partnered with Paul for the first two days of a week-long private tour of Switzerland. Paul was friendly, accommodating, organized, and engaging. We appreciated his punctuality when picking us up and his willingness to present us with options when deciding on details for the day’s pre-planned activities (e.g., where and when to eat, where and when to drop-off). He led us around the Falls and made lunch reservations for us, and ensured we were given a waterside table. During our drives, he openly discussed a broad range of topics ranging from sport and culture, to business, politics, travel, and daily life both in Switzerland and in our home country. Overall, we felt genuinely cared for, which is exactly what we wanted. Thanks to Paul and Aratours (Alp Excursion).
Amazing Private Tour Experience!

5.00My daughter and I had a long layover in Zurich and wanted to see some of what the city has to offer. I contacted the company and found the communication to be thorough and professional. We arrived at the airport and found our guide waiting for us just as planned. He showed us around the lovely streets of Zurich and pointed out many points of interest. We then travelled to beautiful Rhine Falls and spent some time there enjoying the scenery and learning about the area. We were returned to the airport on time for our onward flight. Thank you for a great day!
