We spent 5 days on private tours with Swiss Epic Tours. Our fabulous experience started from the first communication with Catharina. She responded promptly and thoughtfully to my (many!) email. She arranged our day tours with great consideration for my elderly mother in a wheelchair.
We started with a Zurich city tour including a ferry ride and a visit to Lindt. The following days we visited Bern, Lucerne, the Bernese Oberland, Stein am Rhein and Rheinfalls. Nuno and Robi were our driver/guides and we couldn’t have asked for better service. They’re great company, good-humored, so knowledgeable, kind and accommodating and fun to be with. They shared interesting ‘fun facts’ and stories about the many places and we visited.
On our day to the Bernese Oberland, Catharina arranged for us to take a local cable car up to Isenfluh. From Isenfluh, you’d have a direct view of Monch, Eiger and Jungfrau. It’s somewhat off the radar and just perfect for us as we had the cable car to ourselves. With a wheelchair, going somewhere quieter without the tourist crowds and visiting a local village was a dream! Catharina gleaned from our communications that this is the type of experience we desired. We then went to Grindelwald and had lunch at a charming family-run restaurant that overlooked all of Grindelwald.
We were in Zurich during the Sechseläuten Festival (which I’d highly recommend) and much to our delight, Swiss Epic Tours obtained front row seats for the outdoor parade on festival day.
Each day held something very special and because of Swiss Epic Tours, we were able to travel comfortably, see so many things and learn so much in a week’s time. Swiss Epic Tours did an amazing job of welcoming us and providing us with unforgettable experiences! Heartfelt thanks to Catharina, Nuno and Robi!
