My girlfriend and I went to Switzerland, we both speak english, so it was kind of difficult to identify touristic places and talk to people, because of the language differences. Swiss Magic Journeys was the perfect solution, not only did we got to know many incredible places, but the activities included in the Swiss Honeymoon package were fantastic. My girlfriend and I were so happy, very romantic and very fun. The attention and service from the crew and the tour guide was impecable, very polite, professional and friendly. We will use their services again for sure!

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

This was absolutely delightful. We couldn't have had a better time,due to our incredible guide,Ulrich. He was very knowledgeable and respectful of our intentions. He made the long ride entertaining as well as educational. We would definitely use his service again. Our only issue was trying to reach your office by phone a couple of days before our trip to confirm and not being able to reach anyone. This created undo stress and it totally unacceptable and needs to be addressed. Thank you for our great guide. Maurice & Teena Nanoia

We took the tour on August 25, 2020 and it turned out to be an excellent way of seeing Zurich, particularly the old town, the area around the Grossmünster, etc. The weather was nice, so there was no need for warm clothes. The drive was friendly, spoke good English and made some interesting comments. If you are a first time visitor - I am not but there were two of us - I highly recommend this Tour. One criticism : they charge you an additional CHF 19 for dropping you off less than a mile away from the railway station upon your return and that is probably a bit excessive. i asked and got a drop off at Sihlstrasse but the additional charge was a bit unwarranted.
