“We had such a great morning walking through Bern with Graham. He was knowedgable about the city and took us to so many of the best spots in the city. We learned so much about the history and culture of the city. We booked a four hour tour which was a perfect amount of time to see so much of what Bern has to offer. I highly recommend this tour to someone who has a limited amount of time in this great city! Graham even took pictures throughout the tour to share with us when we returned to the States.”

He took care of all the train transfers getting to the top of the mountain and all the transfers getting back down and back to Bern using a different route.
