Excellent service" Review of: 5 day Private Tour of Central Switzerland including Luzern, Grindelwald & Zurich Wow! Chris was great from picking us up in Zurich all the way to dropping us off in Basel 5 days later! He worked with us to customize the trip to include a canyon swing and hang gliding along with a lot of the recommended sites to visit he lists on his website. We even stayed in his Airbnb!!

Hi there, I'm Chris W, living and running private and exclusive tours from Luzern, Switzerland. My aim is simple: when you get out of the car after a tour, I want you to have the feeling that you have really experienced something special and have had the best time in a very relaxed environment with a chap, in his comfy car driving round the Swiss countryside and towns. I moved from Manchester in 2000 to Luzern and immediately fell in love with this magical place. The reason I came to Switzerland was for a job in football, my passion. At the same time, with my family, I was able to discover and explore the Lake Luzern area and over time travel further into the neighbouring Swiss regions and enjoy the stunning landscapes, culture and traditions. 6 years ago we started an airbnb business called 4 Seasons attached to where we live in Luzern and it has been a huge success. We enjoy welcoming guests from all corners of the world and try to make them feel at home and offer advice on where to go, what to do, etc. At the same time, I decided to embark on the driver/guide business and joined a local travel company. Finally, a couple years ago, I felt confident to start my own tour guiding business. I have a 6 seater (5 for multi-day tours) Mercedes V Class minivan and organise tours in most parts of Switzerland. I am also licensed to drive minivans up to 18 people and in these cases for bigger groups, I would hire a van. The main areas covered are Lake Luzern, Bernese Oberland /Bern, Rheinfalls and Zurich. I also run Multi day tours to further afield places. I like to create customized tours to suit individuals and am happy to invest time to do this for you. I know the best places to go, which will be a mix of some tourist hot spots you should see. However over time I have also discovered some little known villages, mountain trips and local attractions. I believe I can cater for all tastes and whether you want a very relaxing or adrenalin packed time, there are options to suit. Over 275 all Excellent 5* reviews on line - 100% success rate Several Awards from various organisations. Travel and Hospitality Award (THA) winner - Private Tour Operator of the Year 2022 Switzerland Member of the Swiss Tour Guides Association No restrictions.

    Chris was an outstanding guide & planner. He took our input and shared his suggestions so that we could create a tour that met our needs within our timeframe. He was available to answer questions at all times and was punctual on all our pickups. We had an airport pickup, then a quick tour of Zurich then a visit to Rheinfalls and Schaffhausen where we had a great lunch...

    We had an amazing full day tour with Chris fully exploring Wengen, Lauterbrunnen Valley, Isenfluh, Brienz and all the hidden gems that Chris took us to in the beautiful area of Switzerland. He was a master at helping us maximize the things we saw in the time we had available. We had a wonderful lunch at the Grand Hotel Giessbach, walked behind a waterfall, we saw wood...

    I would highly recommend Chris Wilson as a tour guide for the interlaken/lauterbrunnen area. He was very knowledgeable and comedic. He made our experience very easy and gave us lots of options.

    Drive / walk tour for 3 hours in Luzern area taking in some local beauty and historical sights such as Wooden Bridge and Lion Moment as well as long time favorite BÜRGENSTOCK HOTELS & RESORT AT LAKE LUCERNE for spectacular views and history. Chris was extremely attentive to certain requests and restrictions we had and was very accommodating. He went above and beyond.
