Best Part of Our Trip - Robbe was absolutely AMAZING! If you’re looking for a guide, do not hesitate to book with him. From the moment we booked, his communication was excellent—he took the time to understand our fitness level and comfort zone, and when we asked for a more challenging hike, he delivered exactly that (and more!). He even gave us direction ahead of time by suggesting any clothing or gear we might need and offering gear such as jackets if we did not bring it . On the day of the hike, Robbe was incredibly knowledgeable and chose a trail with the most breathtaking views—every step was completely worth it. The experience felt less like being led by a guide and more like hiking with a friend. He was punctual with pickup, and since we finished ahead of schedule, he offered the option for stopping to eat , but we were exhausted and declined. We did not feel rushed at all to get back even though he spent all day with us. This hike was truly unforgettable, and you absolutely get your money’s worth. Thank you so much, Robbe—we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Words cannot describe it! Robbe's local knowledge of Lucerne makes this trip one incredible adventure. - This trip is one way to experience the incredible Lucerne, Switzerland. Robbe from VP Tours tailored our trip based upon our prior communication, right up til the week of our arrival based upon the weather. Words cannot describe the Lake Goshenen - just INCREDIBLE. The day's hike was our families highlight of our family Europe trip this year. Highly recommended!!

Sunburn with a creazy alpine view - A perfect day in the Alps ☀️ While the city was wrapped in fog, we escaped to the sunshine and mountain air. Robbe was the most caring adventure guide! an amazing driver, thoughtful, funny and calm the whole way. The hike felt safe, peaceful, and full of warmth. And our picnic lunch? Absolutely perfect. Thx Robbe 🌕

A Must If You Enjoy Hiking - This was such a wonderful experience. We are both 70+, in excellent shape, but unaccustomed to high mountain hikes. Robbe was very attentive to our hiking skill levels, was constantly supportive, and made it such a wonderful, photogenic trip. If there was an issue, such as stumbling a bit, he constantly monitored our progress and adjusted as needed. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Robbe for any hiking activity.

Full Day Hike - We loved our full day hike! Robbe communicated very well prior to our hike which was very nice. He was prompt in picking us up, which we appreciated. He was quickly able to recognize our ability and was truly interested in keeping us safe. Robbe took us to beautiful vistas that we would not have been able to see otherwise. We loved our full day hike! Steve and Janelle

An amazing but challenging hike (In a good way) - As a visitor to Switzerland for the first time, I was desperate to experience the mountains up close. But I'm also scared of heights, so when I saw the hike that we were going on when we got to the location, I thought that there was no way I'd be able to do it but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn't quite as scary as I thought. It was definitely challenging and uncomfortable at times but there were very few sheer drops next to us, which made it a more comfortable experience. In terms of ease, I'd say that I have basic fitness but the altitude and 30 degree heat on the day made the climb harder than it might have been on a cooler day. However, it is totally do-able, and will give tourists who want a more challenging hike, a really great experience. We even got to meet some mountain cows along the way, which was lovely. Advice: Take 2-3 bottles of water as I ran out half way up. Robbe was a really friendly guide and gave us great advice on walking techniques, which helped us get through the climb with ease and without injury. It was really interesting to come away with new practical walking skills. We were a little behind schedule after the hike which meant that we didn't get chance to swim but that was okay. the extra stops on the way up the mountain were more important to me. Robbe, also took lots of photos and videos that he sent on to us afterwards, which was really appreciated. In summary, definitely take this hike but take lots of water and be prepared to be challenged in a positive way.
