    Stoos Mountain Ridge Hike

    Our guide, Chris was absolutely amazing! I’d highly recommend him for anyone who’s wanting an adventure of a lifetime. We hiked the Stoos Mountain Ridge and he was such an exceptional guide for us as it took us a while to accomplish. However, we did it.

    Typically Swiss Tours with Chris, an Exceptional Experience!

    To all fellow travelers, we would like to you to know what a wonderful experience we had with Chris of Typically Swiss Tours, and our full confidence that you have a likewise enriching travel experience. We travel to learn geography, history, archeology,.culture, and current trends in different parts of our world. Chris certainly fulfilled those objectives and more. Having lived in Switzerland for a couple of decades, he is very familiar with major Swiss attractions, but also the nuanced, off everyone's tourist check-list, type of encounters. Those are the real "gems" of traveling. Chris delivered above and beyond our expectations. Couried in a spacious and comfortable Mercedes-Benz van to rural areas, or a relaxed walk through cobbled streets of a medieval village, Chris was very knowledgeable and giving of the content and context of the places we visited. That's added value for which there is no price tag. We have had travel guides in different countries. Chris is unequivocally a premier guide who will elevate your travel experience. Soon after meeting, Chris was not just a guide, but a friend comfortable to be with.

    Chris R-O-C-K-S!!!

    We all would highly recommend Chris as a private guide. He picked us up timely. His vehicle comfortably fit 4 adults and their piles of luggage. He was a very safe and conscientious driver. Most importantly, he entertained us with his extensive knowledge of the history and geography of Switzerland and its many places of interest. He had to adjust his plans on the spot due to heavy fog, and yet we were able to visit many beautiful and interesting places and have loads of fun. Everywhere that Chris took us it seemed he knew the people that worked there, and we felt part of "the in crowd". When in Lucerne, he brought us to important things like Laderach chocolate and the Lion Monument, but also gave us free time to wander through several Christmas markets on our own. Chris is easy-going, prepared, and is a natural when it comes to being a guide. Extra points for putting up with the silly American fascination with the many "Ausfahrt" road signs...but really, the word is totally hysterical AND anatomically correct!!! And many additional points for rescuing a memento bought at a Christmas market and inadvertently forgotten in the van, Chris shipped it safely back to us in Virginia. Good guy.

    Chris's great Lucerne Highlights tour!

    We booked Chris to take us from Basel on to a tour of Lucerne and then deliver us to Zurich. We had a fantastic time, Chris is highly attentive to our group making sure everyone was adequately accommodated for, so as a host in general - 10/10. The tour was perfect, Chris made sure to stop in on some unique stops that we would never have known about and always had a great story or note of interest at each location. As a true insider he made sure we got to the best photo spots and even our recommended lunch was an absolute banger. You can't go wrong With any your with Chris, 100% recommended!

    +

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Basel can sell out a month out.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Basel and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    When is the best time to visit Basel?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Basel?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +
