If luck is on your side, you’ll catch paragliders landing—adding a dash of action to your photos. Nearby, the Kursaalgarten with its statue of Bollywood filmmaker Chopra and the historic old Kursaal with a grand fountain give you charming spots for more unique shots.
The short drive through Interlaken provides excellent opportunities to learn about the area’s history and highlights. The oversized windows on the Tesla allow you to enjoy the passing scenery and listen to interesting facts, making the ride itself part of the experience.
Lake Brienz at Bönigen
Next, the tour takes you to Lake Brienz, where you’ll have time to snap photos both at the water’s edge and potentially in the water itself. The surrounding mountains and the old village of Bönigen create a postcard-perfect setting. The professional lighting helps produce crisp portraits, couples, or group shots that truly showcase the remarkable scenery.
You’ll also stop at the historic houses and a fountain in Bönigen, adding a touch of old-world charm to your photo collection. This stop illustrates how the landscape blends with local history, giving your images depth and context.
Lake Thunersee in Unterseen
Continuing to Lake Thunersee, the Neuhaus boat station offers sweeping views of the lake and the distinctive pyramid-shaped mountain, Niesen. Situated at the edge of a nature reserve, this spot allows for beautiful natural shots with the Alps providing a majestic backdrop. The professional photographer will direct you into various poses, ensuring your photos are both natural and flattering.

The oldest part of Unterseen, with houses over 500 years old, welcomes you for more relaxed, character-rich photos. The village fountain and the old church add historical layers to your images. This quick stop captures the essence of Swiss heritage and offers a charming contrast to the alpine vistas.

Here, the landscape becomes even more dramatic, offering the perfect setting for memorable portrait and landscape shots.

What the Reviews Say
Robbye_R, a recent traveler, called the experience “AWESOME” and appreciated how Erich knew all the best spots. She mentioned, “He know where all of the great spots to take pictures are and is very informative,” highlighting the value of having a knowledgeable guide.

Why This Tour Is Worth Considering
This experience offers excellent value for those who want high-quality, professionally taken photos without the stress of planning or organizing a shoot themselves. The convenience of private transportation and all the scenic stops packed into a relatively short window makes it a practical choice for travelers with limited time or those looking to maximize their photographic memories.
The customizable nature of the experience is appealing—you’re not just part of a group on a set itinerary, but rather shaping your own picture story. The high-resolution images delivered afterward ensure you’ll have stunning keepsakes to look back on.
However, given the fixed stops, if you’re someone who prefers discovering hidden corners or offbeat trails, this might feel somewhat structured. Also, the tour’s price point is worth considering, but the quality of the shots, the professional guidance, and the scenic variety often justify the expense.
Who Should Book This Experience?

It’s also suitable for families, couples, or small groups who want a relaxed, private setting with high-quality results.
