5.00This tour was like discovering the magic of the Alpine region and like a real fairy-tale and we also saw a UNESCO World Heritage site. This is indeed a picture-perfect guided walking tour and we clicked a lot of photos to show our friends back home. Do not forget to wear comfortable shoes, to enjoy this walking tour.

5.00Our Tour guide was wonderful!! She flexed to our groups needs and wowed us with personality and information. We got a behind the scenes walking tour that kept us away from the streams of tourists while still getting the best views and insider history. Definitely recommend this tour!!
