Sal went above and beyond to make us comfortable and found several hidden gems so we can take perfect photos! Nothing is worse than having a bad tour guide for an all day tour and trust me when I say that Sal is a pleasure to be around! I can’t say enough good things! Thank you Sal! read less - 11/09/23

Indeed our trip to Switzerland was one of the best adventures we had so far. “ A credit is due when credit is well deserved”—and this of course is highly regarded to Swiss Private Tour; Sal and his driver Andrew both have enticing personalities. These two gentlemen are very well organised yet easy to get along with. Mr Sal himself is not only a Businessman and a Banker but also a highly Educated person and Professional. He is very knowleadgea to bring the group to the best spots yet able to take souvenir photos with the best possible results. On the other hand,Andrew does not only ensure his passengers safety but likewise bring-out his great ideas taking into account his Professional experience as a Mountaineer. With the combination of these two big Talents, it is indeed highly likely to have a travel trip full of fun and excitement. The group unanimously recommends Sal and his Private Tour to anyone who’s looking to have a wonderful and captivating experience in Switzerland… read less - 25/08/23

My wife wanted to do the Crash Landing on You (CLOY) Korean Drama Swiss filming locations tour. It was so much fun. Sal showed us not only the multiple film locations, but also other locations he felt we would enjoy. He is a great photographer too. He knew the CLOY show really well. Highly recommended. We will book him again when we return to Zurich next year. read less - 06/08/23

He took us places we would not have known about or easily gotten to on our own. He watched the weather and switched the itinerary around to ensure we had the best possible experience for the places we were visiting. He also added in an extra stop that added some extra driving but it was well worth it!
We worked with Sal back in 2020 when we originally planned to visit Switzerland and we were able to cancel our tour without any issues when the pandemic hit. We were excited he was able to book us in 2023 now that we were ready to travel.
It’s much more like a friend is taking you around to all the best spots vs a typical tour guide and if we go back to Switzerland I would definitely book with Sal again! read less - 28/07/23

Sal is an amazing and caring person whose mission is to have you and your family have the best experience humanly possible. The tour was beautiful, comfortable, and effortless since he is your guide and knows best how to run everything smoothly. My kids loved him too and as I am writing this my son came by and saw I am writing a review for him and said to make sure he gets five star. If you want to have a great time in Switzerland and surrounding countries, give him a try and you won’t regret it.

In fact,... read moreThe BEST decision I’ve made during my summer travels to Switzerland was to engage Sal as our guide! In fact, the trip felt like visiting a family member, Sal rather than a tour.
Swiss has always been my dream country to visit and Sal made the trip a memorable one! He was meticulous, humorous, knowledgeable and a highly skilled driver. My family and I experienced Swiss in a unique way such as visiting non-touristy spots with majestic nature views. Although the tour was only 5 days, I have learnt so much about Swiss culture, people and nature. I’m also glad that we followed Sal’s advice in monitoring the weather before booking tickets. As such, the highlight of our trip was to visit JungFrau with great weather and spectacular mountain views!
Sal’s sincerity and passion in sharing the beauty of Switzerland truly sets him apart and above from others in the same line.
I hope my review helps other travelers and my golden advice is to book Sal in advance!

My family (elderly father, wife and two teen daughters) were fortunate to spend three full days with Sal, touring what seemed to be the entire country of Switzerland! His knowledge and passion for his country was impressive and he treated us like family from the moment we met. Picking us up from our hotel in Zurich each day in his super comfortable van, we were treated to the most beautiful sights of the country. He modified our 3 day schedule to optimize the tours for the weather, and he was incredibly flexible to meet any need that would arise. He was also fantastic to provide such great care for my father, making sure he was comfortable and taken care of many times providing two different experiences - one for him while my family was able to enjoy other more physically active experiences. We hope to return one day soon and will definitely book another tour with Sal when we do! read less - 16/07/23

Sal, was professional, yet personable; a perfect and rare balance to find in a tour guide. He is kind, humble, witty and genuine. At the end of the trip it felt like I was saying see you later to an uncle. Beyond his knowledge on everything Switzerland, my favorite part was learning his story and seeing Switzerland through his eyes. He took us to all the sites from the series, weather/construction permitting of course, as well as taking us to some bonus sites. He has an amazing eye for capturing the best shot and moments. I appreciate his passion for what he does and the investment he makes in making your tour feel special. Thanks to Google and the other reviews on here, I feel so lucky and blessed to have met him and experience Switzerland in the way that was beyond my expectations. I can't wait to book another tour with Sal and see more places in Switzerland, this time in another season. Thank you, Sal, for helping me make memories with my sister that will last for a lifetime. read less - 27/05/23

If you’re a CLOY fan, this is a must do and nobody else is doing it like Sal. He’s a fan himself and knows all the spots that are often overlooked. The pictures we took away are gorgeous! Switzerland certainly doesn’t disappoint with backdrops. The car was clean and comfortable and there were plenty of breaks and good food. We did the 12 hour tour so be prepared for a long day though honestly it didn’t feel that long. Sal will make adjustments for weather and traffic so you’ll always get the best the tour can offer.

Tour Guide: Sal
From the moment Sal picked me up at my hotel in Zurich, I felt I was traveling with a close friend. Sal is one of the most amazing genuine person I've ever met. He is such a down to earth person, and all our conversations were so meaningful. If you book his tours, you will NOT regret it. It was worth every single penny.
Even I first requested availability with Sal for this tour, he sent me an itinerary that was so detailed and personalized. We went to all of the CLOY filming locations and places that were not even on the itinerary. You will learn so much about Switzerland!
The photographs & Videos that Sal took OH MY GOODNESS. They came about spectacular!! I can't stop looking at them!!
Trust me when I say, BOOK NOW (:
Sal, thank you for everything you have shown and taught me. I will never forget the day we spent together. You made my first solo trip so much more memorable. I can't wait to see you again with my family and friends in the upcoming years! read less - 23/03/23

Sal unnderstood our needs perfectly. He went beyond what was booked and made sure that we had the a truly memorable experience with all the moments etched in our minds. the 2 days we spent with him in visiting Zurich, Mount titlis, Einsdeln, Brunnen, Lucern etc were truly organised by Sal like tending to family rather than a tour company. He took the longer path and spend more time than was listed on the itinerary to ensure that it gave us better views and experience. I am grateful that I found Sal and his comany (which was through reviews, and hence this review which will help others in similar position seeking a personalised holiday experience in Switzerland) read less - 07/01/23

Sal kept an close eye on the weather and customized our tours to give us the best possible experience. As we are traveling with two kids, Sal also made adjustments along the way. We took a detour when the kids really wanted to play in the snow in the Alps, and they had an amazing time. Sal showed us many postcard places that's only the locals know well, and give us many travel tips along the way. He is very friendly and knowledgeable about Switzerland and the surrounding areas, everything exceeded my expectations and touring with Sal was so worth it! read less - 30/11/22

Upon touched down at Zurich, we were met by Sal with a surprise wedding anniversary gift & later with a dinner. Sal is very passionate about showing us his beautiful country Switzerland, like he would show his own family. He is so knowledgeable, explaining to us history & culture of the places we visited, and Sal is a very good photographer too. He did an impromptu video of me up at Mount Rigi having a goulash soup that he bought for me, amidst the gorgeous Swiss Alps, & I just love it! So glad he rearranged our 5-day itinerary to visit Jungfraujoch on a sunny day instead, according to the weather forecast, & we had a beautiful afternoon up at the top of Europe on a bright clear day. Indeed, thankful to have Sal taken so good care of us during our 5-day tour of this beautiful heaven on earth place. read less - 16/11/22

Our driver-guide is very knowledgeable on where to take us and have very nice tour experience, coz the weather was not good with our original plan. The places where he brought us are less touristy place… just perfect for the photos we want to capture. He is very accommodating to our request to end our tour in Interlaken and got a bigger car for our luggages. His suggestion on going to Mt. Schilthorn instead of Jungfraujoch is really better coz we saw a better view of the different Alps. And with less people, we were able to take very nice photos. Appreciate you, Sal! 😍❤️ For those who want a personalized travel experience, I highly recommend Swiss Private Tour! read less - 21/10/22

Very intelligent (a former senior banker), very knowledgeable, very polite host, who knows the history and those amazing hidden from the crowds spots, which really makes you fall in love with Switzerland.

I trusted her... read moreMy best friend’s sister had just come back from Europe and she highly recommended Swiss Private Tours. I trusted her so I did not hesitate to contact Swiss Private Tours when I was planning my trip with my family, having barely done any research. I honestly didn’t read any of their reviews and it turned out to be THE BEST decision I made on our short trip to Switzerland.We booked the CLOY (Crash Landing On You) Grand Tour. I traveled with my elderly parents and my two Aunts. There were only 2 of us who were CLOY fans and while we were obviously very excited about this tour, the others appreciated every part of the tour as well.
Sal catered to our needs and customized the tour based on what worked best for us. He even brought us to some additional spots not listed on our itinerary because he felt we would appreciate it. And he was right!! There were also some parts of the tour when my Mom felt ill so she couldn’t really get out of the car. Sal stayed with her and kept her company as the rest of us did what he suggested.
We felt safe and comfortable in Sal’s company. It was the first full day of our 2-week European tour and it was one of the best days of our entire trip. Having the comfort of a private car (jet-lagged and all!) and seeing the best scenery at your own pace, is something so worth having.
Sal felt like family. I personally enjoyed having meaningful conversations with him in the car while the rest of my family took naps throughout the day. We all enjoyed this all-day tour and his personal approach to seeing the hidden gems and natural wonders of Bernese Oberland.
I loved it so much that I told my husband, I want to go back to Switzerland and celebrate our anniversary there next year. And once we figure out our schedule, I will be ready to book with Swiss Private Tours again!
Sal is truly the perfect Tour Guide, with his knowledge and insights about history, culture, and everything else. I highly recommend Swiss Private Tours. I promise you won’t be disappointed. 😉 read less - 05/10/22

Sal is simply the best for CLOY & beyond Go with Sal, do not even think we of any other tour guides. You will not regret it!Why choose Sal... read moreGo with Sal, do not even think we of any other tour guides. You will not regret it!
Why choose Sal of Swiss Private Tour:
1. Easy communication- Let him know your dates of tour, he will check if he is available. If he is available & agrees to accept you, you better book it because he books fast. His 2023 is even book as early as now.
2. Itinerary is detailed depending on which tour you book. But he will not only bring you to your written itinerary, he has hidden gems & you will be glad he is your guide!
3. Flexible & customized- True to his words, he will show you what is best. Meaning, he will customize your tours based on what you want, what is worth it, what is good weather-wise on your date tour. Example, Zurich was raining so instead of doing the Zurich CLOY tour, we went to little towns in France and made use of our time wisely!
4. When he says he treats his clients as family, he means it. He is kind-hearted. You will not feel awkward. He genuinely wants you to experience the best!
5. Affordable, the price he charges is very reasonable for the many places you will see and experience. For him, it is not about the money. He is not just a driver, he gives you thorough details about Switzerland, walks with you side by side during the tour. You will not feel lost. He is not just your driver who drives you to places and lets you be. He is there with you, always. Take note: it is expensive in Switzerland, going with Sal in terms of the experience is more than what you pay him.
6. Crash Landing on You (CLOY) fans- go with Sal. Period. He knows Cloy by heart. He knows perfect shots for pics as Seri and Captain Ri. You will not regret it. Especially Filipino fans, believe me go with Sal.
We booked Sal on 10/1 to 10/3/2022.
Travelled with family: 3 adults
He picked and dropped us off to and from our hotel.
He is on time. He does not make you feel hurried. Tours are relaxed.
Thank you Sal for making my 50th bday memorable! Thank you for taking care of us. More blessings to you, your family and business! read less - 03/10/22

An extremely knowledgeable guide who speaks 4 different languages, has lived in 3 different continents and shares the most scenic places visited by all the locals. His day tour to Colmar, France and Alsace region was perfectly timed taking into account the changing weather and traffic. He also made lunch reservations at the exquisite Bordeaux restaurant in Colmar. The half day tour to Lucerne was a very pleasant experience with visit to the lake, old town and an unforgettable drive through the surrounding mountains with providing a bird’s eye view of the city below. Sal even gave us information on visiting other cities such as Bern, great Swiss restaurants in Zurich and other places of interest. He is very flexible on the timing and needs of the tour group. Not once we felt rushed or forced to see something we didn’t want. Highly recommend Sal from Swiss tours if you are visiting Zurich as a family or by yourself. One of the most memorable vacations I had. Sal is also an excellent photographer and taught us to take fantastic pictures. Thank you Sal for sharing the culture and sites of your beautiful country, Switzerland. - Dr. J Talim California, USA. read less - 29/09/22

We were amazed at not only his knowledge of Switzerland and Austria but also his ability to take us places most tour guides wouldn't. He went above and beyond to ensure that we not only visited all of the places we set out to visit but also made sure we were taken care of. I will be sure to book with Sal on my next visit to Switzerland and Austria. read less - 29/09/22

Would highly recommend this tour over any other-it is absolutely worth it! read less - 29/09/22

Sal is a kind, compassionate man who loves to share his love for people and his country with everyone. I read the itinerary before we got to Switzerland and thought maybe I would participate for one of the days and that would be enough. By the end of the first day, I was clamoring for more!
Sal is extremely knowledgeable about his country and a great storyteller. You can tell he loves what he does. He reads the crowd and changes things up at the last minute to meet the needs of the group. His tours are filled with jaw dropping locations you would never get to see on one of those large bus tours. He stopped on our tour at a beautiful little Inn which was built on the side of a mountain with an unbelievable valley view for us to take photos. His van is safe and comfortable. Each time we got out of his van it was a different adventure. We saw more of Switzerland than anyone could imagine. He has an eye for beauty and loves to share his knowledge of his country. Each day Sal gives a tour is a gift to the world. Thank you, Sal!

His nature was such that he would always help taking photos, going out his way for us. The tour was also very flexible we had no pressure for time which meant we were able to enjoy each location. Anyone planning to visit Switzerland I would definitely recommend booking with Swiss Private Tours - our holiday wouldn't have been the same without Sal!! read less - 04/09/22

He is an amazing human being who is extremely friendly, informative, accommodating and flexible, with seemingly limitless insights to share, but what really makes him exceptional are his astounding hospitality and down-to-earth vibes. You would genuinely want to be friends with him by the end.
He went out of his way to tailor our Switzerland trip to best accommodate all of us, especially my mother and aunt, the elderly people in the group. We saw everything as per the itinerary, while allowing for my Mom and Aunt's gentler pace. Sal always had an eye out for our needs, whether it was a restroom break, a need for water, giving us some extra time at souvenir shops or answering in detail to my many questions about the places we visited. He truly treated us like his family and made sure we didn’t miss anything. This is a level of generosity you simply can't expect always. Thank you so much Sal for everything! Such a great first time, I look forward meeting with you and explore Switzerland once again ! read less - 07/08/22

It was actually the K-drama Crash Landing On You that inspired my husband and I to book a tour with Swiss Private Tour. There is probably no other CLOY tour that I’ve checked out that offers the same experience we had with Swiss Private Tour. Having spent the CLOY tour with our tour guide Sal, made our dream come true. Aside from many CLOY sites, he also had numerous surprises for us in-stored along the way. It was truly a customized itinerary. Sal was a walking and talking encyclopedia of Switzerland and CLOY too. He gave us countless information and trivia about the country. We felt like we were being brought around by a family member. No stress, no pressure. Just pure relaxation during the tour, just what we needed. Nothing beats that. He has an eye for an amazing scenery to match his professional photography and videography skills. We were able to create memorable videos from the from the photos and videos that he captured for us during the tour. Not to forget that he has the most comfortable van in Europe. Made us felt “at home” when we saw his van the moment he picked us up that morning from our hotel. He even prepared water bottles and a welcome treat for us. Such a nice and unforgettable experience. We asked Sal for an advice of where to go and what to do for another day we had no plans for. He suggested an itinerary that even impressed the train ticket office representative when we were purchasing our train and boat tickets.
The world knows that Switzerland is one of the most expensive places to visit. Would we visit and book a tour again? Heck yes, not a doubt, but only with Swiss Private Tour. Sal, you’re the best! We felt that we have gained a good friend in Switzerland. More power to you, Sal. Switzerland 🇨🇭will forever be in our hearts because of you. read less - 06/08/22

Wonderful tour of Switzerland!
Our group of six spent 2 full days with Sal touring the mountains, lakes and the many beautiful sights of Switzerland. Sal worked with us to create a customized itinerary based on the areas we wished to explore. He was extremely communicative and easy to work with in the planning process, and made it clear he would give us a tour as if we were his family visiting Switzerland. He was intuitive and sensitive to the different ages and and needs in our group (from a teenager to seniors).
Sal picked us up in his comfortable van and was a safe and great driver. He was extremely interesting, informative, charming and more. He really did treat us like family. He even gave recommendations for delicious foods/restaurants in Switzerland (and we had the best chocolate croissants ever!)
We saw so much in 2 days, did everything that we wished and more, areas unknown to most tourists. We learned about the history and people of Switzerland.He was able to steer us clear of chaos and crowds. Priceless!
We highly recommend Sal and would ask him be our guide again when we come back!

When he said that he would treat the tour like he was taking his own family around Switzerland, that’s exactly what it felt like!! We felt like we were with family. We all instantly warmed up to him! I was in tears at our first stop at Lake Lungern right in front of the house where Seri and Jeong Hyeok reunited in Switzerland. And the photos and videos that Sal took on my iPhone 13 Pro Max were incredible! I cannot wait to edit them ❤️ The whole tour was beyond what we expected. Thank you so much Sal for showing us the beauty of Switzerland - and taking us to surprise CLOY locations that weren’t even in the itinerary!! That was pretty cool! Thank you for helping our family make amazing memories. You made it so personal and wonderful for us - you truly cared about helping us have an amazing time! And we did!! It was truly priceless! ❤️ There is no one else I would go on a tour with except with Sal and Swiss Private Tours. Again, thank you! See you again soon 😍 read less - 29/07/22
