Spent too long at the cookie factory. When we got to Bern, the guide almost took off running. The group wanted to stop and take a few pictures, and became scattered. I asked him to please slow down, as my wife had a knee injury. He did not, walked/ran up to a spot, dropped us and said be back at the bus by a certain time. He said he was going to show us the Einstein apartment and did not- we found it on our own. The Emmental Cheese deal was cool, however we wish we had taken the train to Bern and toured on our own. The free cheese and cookies were great. Bern was the main point and we had no idea it was a self-guided tour. Very disappointed with the main part of it.

Our small group tour with Peter was one of the highlights of our trip to Switzerland. As we traveled he pointed out many beautiful sights and told fascinating stories and facts about the Swiss countryside. Learning about the processes of making cheese and cookies was interesting and delicious, but our favorite part was walking through Bern with Peter’s entertaining narrative. He was so thoughtful and we felt well cared-for with his suggestions and helpful tips. We would highly recommend this tour with this guide.
