Captivating hike through the Alps - Ezra was an amazing guide through the vastness of the Alps! He met us at the Lucerne train station and kept us engaged from the moment we got picked up until the end of our time together. Ezra was super knowledgable and in sync with his surroundings, adding a whole new layer of depth to our hike. I so appreciated his attention to detail and commitment to making our hike amazing! Thanks so much!

Swiss Alps - We had a great time on this hike with John, our guide. He was very knowledgeable about the area, and answered all of our questions. I would highly recommend this hike, and would rate it an easy hike but definitely wear hiking boots as some of the trails are rocky.

Spectacular Views - Our private tour of the Alps was an incredible experience! Our guide, Livia, met us at the train station and led us on an excellent adventure tailored to our wishes. After a train ride and short bus ride, we ascended a mountain on a cable car. We hiked along trails, visited a cheese making farm and ate an authentic Swiss lunch surrounded by mountains. The scenery was unbelievable, from snow capped mountains to beautiful waterfalls. Livia was very accommodating and friendly, making our tour even more enjoyable!

Tremendous scenery, great guide. - The scenery was of course tremendous. The six of us had a wonderful day guided by Amalia, who was a pleasure to be with. The hike was easy and she let us explore, bird and eat at our own pace while providing us with information and conversation along the way. Anyone would be lucky to have har as a guide.
Not part of review. Our group was family, adult children and a spouse.

Heart of the Alps was the BEST - We had a party of 12, encompassing 3 families. This, by far, was one our favorite tours over the course of a 3 week European trip. The Heart of the Alps tour did not disappoint in views, weather, experiences with locals and dining at a quaint restaurant in the heart of the valley. Too many waterfalls to count! This tour was basically a decent hike and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. We are grateful for Rene' and Denise for leading us on this once in a lifetime experience.

The heart of the alps incredible tour with views and guide - We had such a blast!! A day tour through the heart of the alps with tour guide David; I cannot say enough. One of the highlights of our trip, he knew lots about the area and helped us feel secure and comfortable. Great person to talk too and clearly loves what he does! Recommend hiking boots if sensitive but just as easy with trusty sneakers. spots to swim if your brave too! Don’t go if rainy and cloudy, and don’t bring many snacks. Lots of food along the way.. Thank you for the lovely time, couldn’t have been the same without this wonderful program- we can’t wait to do more.

Highlight of our Lucerne Trip - My daughter and I booked this hike as the highlight of our trip to Lucerne. The hike was amazing. It was actually more than a hike, as we made stops along the way for coffee, cheese with a tour of the cheese making process and lunch. Our guide John knew so much about the area and shared a great deal of interesting information along the way. He was also super nice, accommodating and helpful, going above and beyond. The scenery was stunning, there were many photo opportunities along the way. The hike ended with an incline ride down the mountain and a ferry back to Lucerne. We’re very happy we booked this hike!
