Itinerary

  1. 1

    Basel

    3 hr

    Pick up from your local Myswisspanorama Guide.

  2. 2

    Lake Lucerne

    1 hr

    The private tour continues with a visit to a Swiss village in the canton of Uri, located directly on Lake Lucerne. A touch of southern flair comes with the palm trees, fig trees and vines. At the same time, the view of the imposing mountain peaks combined with the rushing water is simply fantastic.

  3. 3

    Altdorf

    30 min

    We visit a historically important village next to Altdorf, where our national hero Wilhelm Tell was born (he shot an apple off his son's head). We will discover buildings that are almost 900 years old and can visit an incredibly beautiful church.

  4. 4

    Klausenpass

    1 hr

    Onward journey and short walk to a waterfall in the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The perfect opportunity for exceptional photos behind the waterfall. Time to enjoy. The waterfall can be reached in just 5 minutes. If it has rained the previous day, the way could be a bit slippery.

  5. 5

    Canton of Uri

    2 hr

    Diverse stops along the way to the Klausen Pass in the Swiss Alps. We will discover hidden valleys, glacial rivers and lookouts. A hike to our favourite village in Switzerland is also possible (about 2*45 minutes).

  6. 6

    Klausenpass

    1 hr

    Drive to one of the most beautiful and unknown villages in Switzerland. In the background a waterfall crashes down the valley for about 100 meters. You can see the old traditional wooden chalets. A true powerhouse to rest and enjoy. And for photographers the perfect landscape for beautiful photos. Highest flexibility due to the private group. Enjoying the moment is in the foreground.

  7. 7

    House of Laderach

    20 min

    On request visit to one of the best chocolatiers in Switzerland, which is also very well known abroad. Here you can buy really cheap chocolate and sometimes saves more than 60% compared to the normal store. Usually you can also have a look at the factory. Unfortunately, this is not possible at the moment because renovation work is taking place.

    Fun filled day in Switzerland

    My friend and I had a wonderful day with Joshua as our tour guide! I enjoyed Joshua sharing all he knew about the country and getting to know him. He was fun and easy to talk to which made the day more enjoyable. Joshua took us to the beautiful town in Uri where the legend of William Tell lived and told us Tell’s story. Then we went on a beautiful mile hike nearby where I was able to even pet a goat. Then we drove up the nearby mountain and pulled off to the side where Joshua prepared a delicious Swiss lunch with a gorgeous view of snow peaked mountains. This was a day I’ll always enjoy looking back on and I look forward to visiting the country again one day!

    One of a kind experience

    We didn’t know what to expect other than a great experience, from the reviews. However, we got the “one of a kind one !! Our guide Manuel was not only the friendliest but also experienced tour guide: always making sure we were getting the best out of this trip! After looking at our thousands of pics, we still cannot believe what we saw! Every penny worth it.

    Nature Tour

    Our tour guide did a great job of taking us to the most beautiful places in Switzerland and he very thoughtfully put together a picnic lunch which included a lot of vegetarian options. We were so delighted and would definitely recommend this tour!

    FABULOUS

    Marc and his team are FABULOUS!! Where do I begin? Responsive, Accommodating, Flexible, Knowledgeable… our day began being picked up at the hotel and driving through smaller, historic villages. Then out for a walk into the most majestic scenery, where Marc had a picnic for us….. there are many tours to choose from and if we had more time we would have done more w/ Myswisspanorama!! THANK YOU for a most memorable day and vacation 😊😊😊😊
