What an amazing day! We could not have been luckier than being paired with Chris Wilson of Typically Swiss Tours (typicallyswisstours.com). From his very first question, we knew we had an expert behind the wheel. Rather than just follow some predetermined route, he asked what WE wanted to see. After telling him what we had done already, he suggested what turned out to be a PERFECT day trip. And at each location, he even was able to suggest how to best spend our time. His deep experience, knowledge, and easy-going personality were so much more than we expected. He went above and beyond all day long. We cannot recommend him highly enough! It would be great to have him as a guide for many days. Do yourself a favor and contact him directly. You will be glad you did!

We had the absolute pleasure of touring with Chris from Typically Swiss Tours, and we cannot recommend him highly enough! From the very first message to the final drop-off, Chris was exceptionally communicative, professional, and personable. He truly hand-held the entire process, making booking easy and the tour seamless from start to finish. Chris tailored the itinerary exactly to our wishes, and thanks to his careful planning and local expertise, we were able to do everything we hoped for in both Appenzell and Liechtenstein—and more! We sampled delicious Swiss cheese, indulged in world-famous Läderach chocolates, and even got our passports stamped in Liechtenstein, which was a fun and unique experience. He is not only a fantastic and safe driver, but also a deeply knowledgeable and engaging tour guide. His passion for Switzerland is infectious, and his attention to detail ensured our day was smooth, stress-free, and packed with memorable moments. Chris is simply awesome—if you're considering a private tour in Switzerland, don't hesitate to book with Typically Swiss Tours. You will be in the very best hands!

The trip was so wonderful and immersive that it was our highlight of the Swiss trip. Our friend and guide Chris was more of one of us than a guide and knowledgeable in this part of Swiss. In short the tour was SPLENDID AND WOW.

Chris was an amazing guide, and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the Appenzell area and Lichtenstein under his guidance. He tailored the tour to the things we were most interested in and provided interesting history and information about the area. We would tour with him again!

Chris was a fantastic tour guide for eastern Switzerland! He took us to Appenzell, Ebenalp, Leichtenstein, and Läderach chocolate factory. The entire trip was stunning, and Chris gave amazing information about all of the sights. I would definitely do a tour with him again!

Absolutely AMAZING experience!!! Our tour guide, Joseph, was very professional, knowledgeable, pleasant, and accommodating. And the actual sites - St. Gallen, the Luftseilbahn Brülisau–Hoher Kasten, Einsiedeln, Liechtenstein, and the Läderach chocolate factory - were all spectacular and absolute must-sees.

Great trip, and Chris was terrific guide. Started by asking what we were most interested in (history, culture) and took us to the most amazing sites!

It was great having our day tour in Switzerland with Chris! He went above and beyond to meet our interests, personalizing our itinerary while making sure we got to see as much as possible. He was very easy to communicate with and also captured lots of great pictures for our family. If you plan to visit Switzerland, we highly recommend planning a day tour with Typically Swiss Tours!
