“My wife and I often choose a guide to introduce us to a new city when we are on vacation. In Lucerne we were fortunate to have a tour group of only five with Timon as our guide. Obviously Timon had done his homework ahead of time. He knew each of our names and during the time together made it a point to visit with us individually to learn more about each one of us.”
