During a short stay in Zurich we took a two hour city tour with headphone commentary (due to the virus there we no tour guides available). For us, at two hours the tour was just about the right length and the commentary was interesting and informative with a narrative that extended to both the city and national relevance. A word about the driver - he was friendly and just about the best bus/ coach driver I have ever experienced. He navigated the often narrow streets and turnings superbly and was courteous to other drivers and pedestrians. Whilst we thought this was quite an expensive tour, (most things in Zurich are quite expensive), we did very much enjoy it and would certainly recommend it.....

Excellent service. Here amazing help and support. Many thanks to Swiss Epic Tours. Great location, really pleasant and clean rooms, but the thing that makes this such a good place to stay are the staff. All of the people are incredibly helpful and generous with their time and advice. We travelled with two six year olds and lots of luggage and despite the stairs up to the elevator this was one of the nicest places we stayed in the four weeks

5. Canyon Swing

4.9 based on 33 reviews
Standing on the platform 90 meters above the canyon is on it’s own enough to make your legs weak, but then to step off into the abyss, freefall towards the ground and then scream at 120km/h between the canyon walls is easily the most scary ride money can buy. Enjoy personal attention from your guide on this small-group tour, limited to 12 people per group.
Inclusions: Pick up from designated meeting points, Professional guide, Transport, Safety briefing
Exclusions: Gratuities, Food and drinks, unless specified, Video- available to purchase separately.

Although I didn't end up skiing because I sucked at it :D , but outdoor- interlaken provided above and beyond services. Hotel pick up was on time, then they drove us first to their store to get changed and get the skis. The people in the store were very nice and helped us find the perfect pants, boots and skis. Then we got picked up by Alan, the instructor, and drove us up to the mountain. Alan was super patient with us , and we had an amazing skiing experience.
