Simone – Switzerland

Our guide was fabulous - very informative tour. The van is very comfortable, was on time and even had water and snacks (different kinds of chips) for us. Knowledgable guide, clear instructions how much time we had were, took pictures for us and answered any questions we had, provided extra guidance at the canal. Would totally recommend and do a tour with them again.
