Born in the central part of Germany, I started with my parents hiking all over Europa while other kids laid at the beach. Soon as Teenager I was keen to achieve more and learned climbing and alpinism at the German Alpine Club. More than 15 years ago I decided to move to Switzerland, not for tax reason, but to be closer to the Alpes and thus being more flexible to cope with weather changes and alpine conditions. Now I am 55 years old and have almost 40 years of mountain and travel experience. I have guided many people, locals and tourists, here in Switzerland on snowshoes, ski, grampons and hiking boots. Furthermore, I am also course leader and guide for snowshoeing, alpine routes, trekking and via ferratas for the section Pilatus of the Swiss Alpine Club. Lucerne is my home base and from here I have explored all parts of Switzerland, from Ticino to Valais and Engadina. I know Central Switzerland very well and can show you attractive places in nature or cities. If you prefer we explore places away from the tourists' crowds, but if you are here for the first time you maybe would like to see the standard sights. I am very open to offer you tailor-made excursions, no matter if you are families or couples, colleagues or friends, naturalists, hikers or alpinists, photographers. Let me know your dream how to explore Switzerland and I show you the right place! I am looking forward to make your stay in Switzerland comfortable, joyful and memorable!

Overview of your Zurich tour

We'll start with the City Center of St. Gallen and the UNESCO declared monastery with its famous library. A blend of old town, churches and urban chic. Afterwards we drive to the green and traditionell region of Appenzell. Here we explore the "capital" Appenzell with a very fine collection of wooden houses and decorative facades. We will visit a cheese making facility and then in the afternoon we continue to the Principality of Liechtenstein. We can see the castle of the count (outside only) and the wealthy city center. Via the scenic Walensee we'll drive back to Zurich (app. 90 min drive from Liechtenstein. In case we have much time we can stop by in lovely Rapperswil, at Lake Zurich.

Excellent tour for seeing St. Gallen, Appenzell, with stops in Feldkirch, Austria and Vaduz, Liechtenstein. Andre was a knowledgeable and friendly guide. Really enjoyed his knowledge of the mountains, hiking routes, and the communities. If you want to see the most beautiful sights I recommend this tour. It is just the right blend of museums, history and nature.

We had a wonderful day touring Eastern Switzerland and Liechtenstein with Andre. He was very kind, very helpful and chatty, sharing a wealth of information but also a very personal guy. He is a great communicator and prompt. We left Zurich at 8am and returned by 6pm. We visited 2 villages, ate lunch, saw Liechtenstein and made a final stop along a lake at a beautiful lookout point. It was a great way to see the country in a short period of time.

Our group of six, absolutely loved our tour around Switzerland with our guide Andre'. We saw some beautiful sites, that we would never had found on our own. Andre's personality and knowledge of the different areas made the tour that much better. The tour of Switzerland is a little pricey, but well worth it. But I would highly recommend requesting your guide to be Andre'.
