“10/10 - We had an unforgettable helicopter tour with Oliver. Everything was arranged very professionally from beginning to the end. The safety standards are very high and the helicopter was very modern and comfortable with ample vision to take pictures and videos and space for the legs although I am over 6 foot high. The flight in itself was breathtaking as you fly by the Stockhorn and you get a full view on the lake of Thun and the Swiss Alps with the Eiger, Moench and Jungfrau. If you are in the Bernese Alps region, I would definitely recommend booking a flight with Oliver as you will make some unforgettable memories.” - Reviewed on 2024-09-29

“The best tour we have ever had. - I booked Swiss epic tours months ago and the communication between Catharina and the other staff was always amazing. We had a little hiccup in our itinerary yesterday and they completely accommodated us. Fernando was our guide and he felt like family. He was early to get us and knew we were on a time crunch. He took us to the best locations for the time we had. The weather and views were perfect and we had the most amazing day. Switzerland was absolutely beautiful and pictures will never do justice for what we saw. Thank you Fernando and Swiss epic tours for treating us like family. We will forever remember our day there. ❤️” - Reviewed on 2024-06-20
