Best hiking by far - lt was a beautiful time with very beautiful sights. Our tour guide, Robbie was very kind and gave us the option on what we wanted to do. Took us to this beautiful glacier and lake afterwards. I would definitely come back and hike with them again

Caring and fun hike in the Alps - Our guide, Robbe, was interested in making this expedition exactly what we wanted and what we were able to do. He was so nice, and caring, and he added to our experience by taking pictures and telling us a lot of information of what we were seeing. As a scientist, I was looking for rather unique, natural things, and Robbe really helped me to be successful! My expectations were met and exceeded.

Fun, amazing experience, easy!!! - Robbe was a great tour guide. He picked us up at the hotel, and he was super nice and patient. As we had two kids. He had plenty of snacks too ;)! Listen to him, he knows when it’s hot, when to slow down and when to play pirates of the Caribbean song, which means walk/run like Jack ;)! Over all, we very much enjoyed it. Highly suggest doing small or private tour, that way you can go at your pace. The family LOVED Robbe!!! Thank you!

Great day hike with Robbe - We couldn’t do hike in the Alps due to thunderstorms so Robbe called an audible and took us to Mt Rigi. The hike up was just the right level of difficulty if you are in reasonable shape, not too difficult but not too easy. The views were spectacular, and we had a nice simple picnic style lunch at the top provided by Robbe. After the hike we took a nice dip in Lake Lucerne to cool off. A great way to spend a morning/afternoon. Highly recommended.

Great day! Amazing guide! - This was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. We began the day with a sunrise hike, which was absolutely breathtaking. The early morning views over the mountains and Lake Lucerne were worth every step. After the hike, we wrapped up the day with a swim in the lake. The water was crisp and refreshing. My guide was fantastic, friendly, and full of great local knowledge. He picked me up and dropped me off at my hotel, which made the whole experience seamless. Everything felt relaxed and fun. I had an amazing time and would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to experience the beauty of Switzerland in a unique and memorable way. Book with VP Excursions!! He can customize your day!!

Amazing hike in Swiss Alps - Robbe is the best. Professional, friendly and courteous young man. We were picked up at our hotel as scheduled! We had about an hour drive to the trailhead . The hike was outstanding! The views the whole time were incredible. It was a 5 1/2 mile hike around a lake with mountain views, waterfalls coming down the mountains, beautiful lake to view, rushing streams. Robbe found a lunch spot for us to sit and enjoy meat and cheese sandwiches, hummus ,bananas, and some chocolate. Simple but delicious. We were provided a water and Capri Sun to start the hike. We saw sheep on the hike, some cows with bells on the drive out. Robbe was very knowledgeable of hiking techniques and Switzerland. He took some photos of us while hiking which he texted them to us after. He was organized and had all we needed for a successful hike. It was our first hike in the Swiss Alps and we would definitely book with Robbe for any future excursions.

Fun private tour with amazing views!! - We booked a private tour, and it was the highlight of our Switzerland trip! Great communication, stunning views, and so much fun! The tour was tailored to our preferences and hiking skill level. Even though the weather forecasted for rain, it didnt rain much and we were able to fully enjoy. The hiking was fun and just challenging enough, and the swim was refreshing. Our guide thought of everything, took pics for us, and made sure we were comfortable and having fun. I'd do it again and totally recommend.
