Best tour company in Switzerland
AlpExcursions planned a couple of tours in Lucerne and did transfers from Basel to Lucerne and Basel to airport for my group of 30 people. They were the best to work with (Vera). She always got back to me and all the guides/drivers were there on time. I would 100 percent recommend them and I would use them again. Great Job!!
