We never got to take the day trip to Austria tour we prepaid for last summer due to the pandemic. Sure it would’ve been nice. I was, however, frustrated about the refund policy! Not only was the company a stickler about not giving us a full refund (though it was not our choice to cancel), they would only issue the refund through Pay Pal which charged us an additional international fee! What a rip off! Very disappointed at their overall lack of flexibility. Consumer beware!!

This private tour offers you one of the best ways to learn more about Switzerland and nature at the largest insider spots in the country (see also profile pictures). It is a unique opportunity to go on a private tour with a Swiss and environmental expert (ETH Zurich) without other people. Our goal is that you get home happy with our positivity and the unique places in the evening. And such moments of happiness and memories are just priceless. Since it is a private tour, your individual desires and longings have the highest priority. That's why we are also spontaneous and flexible. Thanks to the personal pick-up and return shuttle service, you do not have to worry about a thing. In addition, you support the bees and other flying insects in Switzerland with a booked trip, as we use part of our profits for the preservation of flowering meadows.

We hiked at a leisurely pace to a point where you could see beyond the mountains what makes you feel huge and tiny at the same time. After lunch with a breathtaking view, small games and interesting information we walked down a narrow forest path to the village and lake, which you can see in the picture. I was able to enjoy nature to the fullest, which felt incredibly good and filled me with gratitude. Mark and Joshua from Myswisspanorama showed us this magical side of Switzerland with their relaxed manner and knowledge about the place and its history. I really recommend this hike to every nature lover.

I met our guide at Tourist Info Wien (right off the U1 line at Karlsplatz stop). He explained a lot of helpful history to us on the ride over and then had us watch a short documentary of the concentration camp on iPads in the van which was very wise. We got to Mauthausen with a greater and more In-depth understanding of what took place there which made our visit more meaningful. When we arrived we were given audio guides and a map and allowed to wander the camp and it’s museum on our own for a few hours before reconvening. It was pretty desolate aside from a few school groups visiting. Our tour guide was great and even drove us down into the granite quarry so that we could see it up close. We went to lunch at a nice but casual sit down restaurant that served Austrian cuisine. Overall worth the money and I highly recommend this tour.

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.....

The hot tip for us on this day was letting MCM do the driving and pick the itinerary. We took some back roads that we never would have found past farms with amazing alpine views and learned a lot about local life and the area. We were able to tailor the trip to our interests and could have done some guided hiking - another option the company offers that we would do next time. Awesome lunch on a terrace with a view and fun off the beaten path trip!
