We wanted to explore the vineyards but I was hoping for a bit more background or local insight than we could get ourselves. I found this tour, saw the glowing reviews, and was looking forward to it as our final day of our trip to Switzerland. Marc is the real deal. His background and career is truly fascinating, his wine knowledge top notch and his charisma and energy was contagious. He was about 10 min late due to an unusual train delay and he was super communicative the whole way. He gave us precise instructions on how to meet up with him on the train, then got us safely on our return train. His background in food, travel, wine, storytelling and the UNESCO heritage of the region was put to good use answering our many questions. And he gave us wonderful insight into Swiss culture overall. Highly recommend spending an afternoon with Marc!

We absolutely loved our tour with Marc! He is incredibly knowledgeable and very passionate about what he does. He’s fantastic at telling the stories of both the history and wines of the area. Not only were the views on the tour breathtaking, but the wines Marc selected for us to try were wonderful and unlike anything else we’ve had. The ability to do a walking tour rather than being a on a bus was also such a unique aspect - getting up close to the vines made the tour so much more immersive and enjoyable. This was definitely the highlight of our trip! As a side note, Marc was so helpful with logistics. He reached out a few weeks in advance and helped to figure out what train we should be taking. When our first train arrived late and we missed our second train, he helped with getting us to the right spot, checking in with us until we met up with the group. He went above and beyond what we would expect a typical “tour guide” to do. Can’t recommend Marc and this tour highly enough!
A fabulous day.

Marc really individualized the experience... He was truly an expert in the wine world in the area and shared his knowledge enthusiastically.. One of the best tour guides I have had in a while.. at first I thought it was a bit pricey, but it was worth every penny! Stops at 2 wineries really gave us a flavor of the locals, who were all friendly and welcoming.. Charcuterie and beautiful sunset to end the tour was fantastic...
Book it!!!
