Chris was one of the most excellent and entertaining individuals you can meet. Always carried a conversation and was very attentive to our needs. As far as the trip to Bern, and Emmental, it was wonderful. Love that Kambly Biscuit store. Chris also went out of his way to take us to a small cheese farm and monument hill in the countryside. All in all, it was a fantastic day and we could not have asked for a better tour guide than Chris.

We had a great day with Chris. He was able to fit everything we wanted to do into the day. Our wine tasting was fabulous and you can't beat the wonderful Swiss cheese and chocolates.

Chris Wilson provided a road trip that exceeded our expectations. Chris was extremely pleasant, great conversationalist and a really nice guy. Picked us up in Lucern, gave a great tour of Bern, then on to Bulle and Broc for tours of Gruyère cheese and Cailler chocolate. Chris went overboard as he consented to help locate my family’s relatives in the Diemtigtal valley. We feel very fortunate to have found someone of such excellent character as Chris.
