Bonjour, I’m
Manuela
Your guide, your local friend and the heart behind Best of Swiss Riviera Tours.
Born in the Netherlands but fully at home in Switzerland – enjoying la dolce vita, à la Suisse.
After more than 15 years in tourism, guiding travellers around the world and working on luxury river cruises, I realized what I truly love: creating warm, meaningful and personal experiences that stay with you.
I created Best of Swiss Riviera Tours for travelers who want more than a standard tour: small groups, a warm atmosphere, and the feeling of exploring with a local friend.
On every tour, you’ll get:
- Small groups (semi-private feel)
- Real, authentic experiences, no rush
- High quality with a personal touch
- A mix of local stories, history and culture
Feel the Swiss Riviera Vibe
The Swiss Riviera is a world of its own.
A place were palm trees meet the mountains, vineyards flow into the lake and life feels soft, elegant and alive.
It`s a region full of contrasts and that`s exactly what makes it so special.
On our tours, you’ll experience iconic sights and quieter places most visitors miss, brought to life through local stories.
You’ll:
- explore the Swiss Riviera and beyond like a local
- hear the stories behind Charlie Chaplin, Freddie Mercury, and the Belle Époque hotels and many more…
- enjoy the Swiss Riviera rhythm travelers love
- discover hidden gems, viewpoints & instagram-worthy photo spots
- experience Switzerland with all your senses
Not a checklist.
Not a rushed bus experience.
But a day that feels like visiting a friend who knows all the good places.
