5.00Peter was a fantastic tour guide and host. There were only 4 of us so very personalized. Can't believe we got so much in during this tour. Learned how to make cheese then treated to charcuterie tray and wine. Visited Lindt candy facility, no shortage of candy. The city of Raperswil had the beautiful cathedral with the Black Madonna (prettier than one in Barcelona Monserat). We were never rushed, plenty of time to Shop or eat. The best tour so far.

5.00The critical part of a tour is the tour guide, once again we were fortunate enough to have Christian as our tour guide. He explained and informed us many key places while the bus was going from one destination to another. When were almost done, he even offered suggestions what to do after the tour.
