Chris was so knowledgeable, patient and accommodating. He took the time to get to know us and our interests. We spent 2 days and saw much more than we would’ve seen without him. Chris is friendly and easy to be with. We would definitely use Chris’ services again. If I could give him a score of 10 I would!

A pleasant & enjoyable 1-day private tour. We were picked up from our hotel in Zurich by Chris. Our journey started from Lindt Home of Chocolate . The visit (museum) was entertaining and informative. Trust me, you don’t want to miss it!! We move on to Stein am Rhein, which is famous for its well-preserved historical buildings and rich cultural atmosphere. Chris showed us around before we had lunch there. He led us to a local restaurant (outdoor) which we found the food was amazingly good. I particularly enjoyed strolling along the waterfront with an ice-cream after lunch. The Rhinefall is a must-see attraction! Known as the "largest waterfall in Europe," the Rhinefall is a natural wonder. With Chris expertise knowledge, he showed us how to bypass the crowds. We took the shortest way to reach the best spot….where we can catch the big scene and took couples nice pics. Should you prefer a hassle free experience enjoying the tourist attractions in Zurich, a private tour with Chris is something you should consider.

My mom and I had an unforgettable day touring with Chris through Zurich, the Rhine Falls, and the Lindt chocolate factory. This trip was part of a bucket list celebration for my mom’s 70th birthday, and Chris helped make it truly special. From the start, he was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive to our needs. He didn’t just guide us — he joined us fully in the experience, even riding the boat at the Rhine Falls with us. He helped give my mom the confidence to navigate the hills with ease, and we never once felt rushed or overwhelmed. Chris shared fascinating historical insights about Switzerland that we would’ve completely missed on our own, and he was always happy to snap photos for us — with genuine enthusiasm, not just as a favor. You can tell he really loves what he does, and because it’s his own company, the care and personal touch he brings to the tour is unmatched. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide — or a better day. Highly recommend booking directly with Chris if you’re looking for a meaningful, enjoyable, and thoughtful way to explore Switzerland

Chris provided us with an incredible experience of Switzerland. He takes you off the beaten path to provide experiences you'll never get elsewhere. Having lunch at a castle one day and in front of a waterfall the next. Topped off with drinks viewing a snow covered mountain. Our first of 3 days started in Zurich and we were provided the history of this beautiful city on an incredible walking tour. Next we had an amazing lunch at the Hohenklingen castle and viewed Stein am Rhein from afar. We then toured the town and were provided details on the history and the beautiful murals. Off to the incredible Rheinfalls for a very up close experience of Europe's most powerful waterfall. Chris has a great presence, down to earth, engaging, and humorous. If you're going to Switzerland TST is who you need to hire.

What a beautiful county and great guide! Chris planned a wonderful tour for our little group of four. He is very personable and has a great sense of humor. There were too many great places to mention them all!! I guess I would have to say the gorge, the waterfall and the last quaint little village were among the top places we toured. Chris is a wonderful guide. He is willing to do as much, or as little, as his customers want. He was always punctual and flexible. He was a very competent driver, I always felt safe riding with him. This is absolutely the way to tour the Luzern area. It takes all the worry and hassle out of exploring a region that is new to you. By the end of our days together, I felt like we had seen the highlights of the area and have some wonderful pictures and memories.

Good variety of sighs to see! Chris had everything planned out to maximize our limited time. After we scheduled the excursion Chris face timed us to insure he knew our preferences for day. The falls are magnificent and well worth seeing, and chocolate speaks for itself!

Touring with Chris was like having a good friend show you all his favorite places in his home town. Lots of fun and good conversation with a comfortable car. Chris changed the tour to our taste leaving out redundant sites as well as places that had too many steps to navigate. He timed lunch to perfection at a window seat with a full panorama of the Rhein Falls. All in all, the day exceeded our expectations. Thank you Chris.

We enjoyed spending time with our guide, Chris, so much that this was the third tour my sis booked with him during our nine day trip to Switzerland. Our first two tours were the walking tour of Lucerne and the Bernese Oberland tour. Chris customizes the tour to your likes and preferences. My sis wanted to see a castle and we prefer nature over cities so Chris skipped the Zurich part of the tour and surprised us with a lunch reservation at a castle overlooking the quaint medieval town of Stein am Rhein, it was amazing . On the way there we stopped at the beautiful Rhine Falls and took a boat ride right up to it. Chris made our trip to Switzerland more memorable than we ever thought possible.
