A perfect day

5.00Our day with Fabian started right at our hotel in Zurich, which made everything easy and relaxed from the beginning. The whole experience felt personal and never rushed. The drive over the Klausenpass was breathtaking, with stunning views at every turn. Seeing cows everywhere on the green fields with the mountains behind them was exactly how we imagined Switzerland — just beautiful. Bauen was another special stop, so peaceful by the lake. The fondue lunch was authentic and cozy, and Fabian made the whole day feel genuine and memorable. We’re truly grateful and would absolutely recommend it.
A relaxed and authentic day in the Swiss Alps with homemade fondue

5.00We really enjoyed this day with Fabian. He is a very friendly and down to earth person, and the whole tour felt relaxed and natural. Along the way he shared stories about the region, including the birthplace of William Tell and the early history of Switzerland, which made the places more meaningful. The landscapes were beautiful, with quiet valleys, lakes, and mountain views. We stopped at several spots that we would not have found on our own, and the pace of the day was comfortable. At our request, Fabian prepared a traditional Swiss fondue for us and also brought a homemade apple pie from his family farm. It was simple, authentic, and a really nice touch. Overall, it was a very pleasant and genuine experience, and we would recommend it to anyone who prefers a more personal tour.

5.00We had a wonderful day seeing the most stunning little towns and eating delicious cheese from Fabian's farm. We learned a lot about Swiss culture and felt like we were really seeing Switzerland like a local. Spending the day with Fabian was like spending the day with a friend. I highly recommend booking a tour with him.
A real Swiss day, far from the crowds

5.00This tour felt like discovering the real Switzerland. We explored hidden gems around Lake Lucerne, far away from the usual tourist spots. There were beautiful views everywhere, peaceful villages, and even cows and goats along the way. The fondue in such a scenic setting was the perfect highlight. A very authentic and a cool experience that we would recommend to anyone.
Amazing Swiss Experience!!!

5.00What an amazing bucket list trip! Fabian is an incredible Swiss guide. He knew everything about swiss culture and the area. We explored many hidden places normal tours do not visit because they are difficult to get to. We had several home cooked lunches that were perfection. We will do this 100% again.
Switzerland Beyond the Usual Routes

5.00Our second tour with Fabian was just as memorable as the first. This time we explored quiet, lesser-known places in the Lucerne area and around the Klausen Pass, far from the busy tourist spots. The winter mountain BBQ for lunch was a real highlight, simple, warm, and enjoyed right in the alpine landscape. Everything felt relaxed, personal, and genuinely Swiss. A wonderful way to experience Switzerland beyond the obvious sights.
A Real Day Around Lake Lucerne

5.00The tour felt very natural and easy from start to finish. The hidden gems around Lake Lucerne were genuinely quiet places that you would not normally come across on your own. Nothing felt staged or rushed. There was simply time to enjoy where we were. Lake Lucerne itself was beautiful in a calm and understated way. It did not feel like a photo stop but more like being part of the landscape for a while. The Klausen Pass added a different feeling with wide open views and a real sense of the mountains. The farming villages were especially memorable because they felt authentic. These are real places where daily life is happening, not something created for visitors. That made the experience feel honest and grounded. Fabian was a very natural guide. He is knowledgeable but relaxed and knows when to explain something and when to let the place speak for itself. You feel comfortable and well looked after without it ever feeling forced. Overall, it felt like a genuine experience rather than a typical sightseeing tour, and that is what made it special.

5.00After our first tour with Fabian, we booked the Hidden Gem Tour as well and really enjoyed it. We visited quit places far away from mass tourism, with beautiful waterfalls and small villages ( Bauen, Lake Lucerne) Everthing felt very relaxed and natural, and it was nice to see a diffrent more local side of Switzerland. Looking back, our time in Switzerland was the highlight of our Europe trip and this tour played a big part in that. Thank you Fabian!
