Stein am Rhein was our next stop where we saw medieval old buildings cover in murals you don’t want to miss this quant town and we had to have a gelato before leaving. Because we opted out of some of the tour options we had time at the end for Chris to drive us on Mount Rigi for a stunning view all over Lake Lucerne and clear to Zurich. Finally he drove us up to the Hotel Château Gütsch for yet another fantastic view of the City of Lucern and Lake Lucerne. I would highly recommend Chis as a tour guide.

Info
Europe ToursDestinations include Munich, Neuschwanstein Castle, Milan, Freiburg, Europa Park and more. Most tours would be overnight/multi night given the distances involved. However given Switzerland`s location in Central Europe, access to France, Germany, Italy and Austria is relatively easy and not too far (Milan is 3 hours, Munich 4, Europa Park 2 hours) Visas and passports naturally are required to visit certain countries. We are happy to discuss any foreign destination in the “neighbourhood” with you. Please get in touch. Prices subject to destination and duration. |
