John & Barbara, USA, June 17
My husband and I were excited to spend our vacation in Switzerland during the summer of 2017 since we heard much about the beautiful mountains, lakes, villages and the famous Alps. With limited time and transportation we needed a tour guide who could provide the personal attention to our needs recommending the truly best places.
Our trip became special at Interlachen when we connected with Sibylle who made the difference between a good tour guide and a great tour guide!
Sibylle gave us a warm and enthusiastic welcome. Her skills were evident from the beginning in her communication (English speaking), flexibility and passion for her work. She demonstrated her true insider knowledge of the outdoor activities and attractions giving depth to the historical and cultural background of each. As a result, we experienced the
excitement and beauty of the Swiss Skyline, Brienz waterfalls, alpine meadows and legendary Grandhotel Giessbach. After a full day of touring, Sibylle found us the Grimsel Hospiz with a stunning view and great hospitality. She also helped us navigate our next trip to Milan by rail which would have been challenging without her direction. I highly recommend Sibylle to any traveler for an outstanding and memorable Swiss experience.
