    Peter was great!! We wanted to see scenic spots to take nice photos and he showed us so many beautiful spots. He went through alley ways and little lanes and the river view with the bridge was amazing! Felt like we knew Bern after the tour

    The tour gave us a good overview. We were also in a neighborhood where there were no tourists. All in all it was cozy and interesting. Can recommend the tour, the tour guide was friendly and competent and he is from Berne.

    We had a great time with Maya! She crafted the tour around our interests and shared historical and cultural information easily and helped us with ideas and recommendations for what to do during our stay. She is really local and that's what we liked. I have to say, that we had three different tours now with this company and always had a local Swiss guide. This is how it should be.

    The guide, Mike, met my wife and me on time at the hotel. He was very knowledgable of the Bern history and buildings (much more than the tour description suggested). We walked through the old part of the city and he pointed out and explained various sites. It was great having a personal guide that we could ask questions and converse with. At the end of the tour, he suggested a few other things to do including where to eat. Overall, an excellent tour that I would highly recommend and well worth the money.
