What you can expect

Join us for a premium small group tour to Bern, the capital of Switzerland! This tour follows the scenic route of the Grand Tour of Switzerland passing through stunning landscapes and the rural Entlebuch and Emmental valleys. Pay a visit to the Kambly Experience to taste some delicious premium biscuit incl. drink and the Emmental cheese factory for a sample of the biggest cheese in the world.

Board our comfortable minibus (max. 16 passengers) for this exclusive small group tour and get on the way for a scenic drive through the unspoilt moorlands and idyllic alpine pastures of the Entlebuch valley - Switzerland's first UNESCO Biosphere. Crossing the border to the Emmental valley, you reach the Kambly Experience. Learn about the origins of Switzerland's best-known premium biscuit brand and watch the master confectioners at work. Indulge in unique flavours and browse the tantalising varieties of biscuits! Continue through typical Bernese backcountry towards the Swiss capital Bern and follow your guide for an informative walk through the charming Old Town, a designated UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. Marvel at the late Gothic Cathedral (Münster), stroll under the characteristic arcades to the clock tower (Zytglogge) and pay a visit to the Parliament building overlooking the beautiful Aare River. Time at leisure for lunch and some souvenir shopping.

Continuation through fascinating rural landscape with its rich heritage. The impressively vast roofs shelter the typical Emmental farmhouses. Stop at the Emmentaler show dairy for the highlight of the day! Tour the show dairy on the audio-visual “King's Way” and learn more about the history of the world's most famous cheese. Marvel at the gigantic wheels of cheese in the impressive cellar before indulging your senses during a cheese tasting only an arm's lenght away from the master chesemakers' workplace. Continue to a nearby dairy farm and see grazing cows on green hills producing high-quality milk, the main ingredient of the world-famous Emmentaler cheese. After a picture stop with an amazing view over the gentle green hills of the Emmental to the triple peaks of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau on a clear day, you drive back to Zürich with a goodie bag full of Swiss delicacies collected at the visited attractions throughout the day.
