Summary:
Weronika is a knowledgeable and friendly guide. We enjoyed being with her. She explained the cheese areas of Switzerland and gave us a lot of information on the cows, cheese production and various types of cheese.
The views were spectacular, even though a bit rainy and foggy. Definitely recommend.

Summary:
Weronika (pronounced like Veronica) was very enthusiastic while being comfortable to be around. She had an extensive knowledge of region, having grown up in the village just below where we hiked. It was an easy stroll with some incline to it, but with two bad knees, I was able to do it just fine because she went at our pace. After the walk, we had a very nice cheese and chocolate experience with great explanations of the background/heritage behind all of the offerings. She went even further than the tour description by giving us a really great plan for the next couple of days with caveats for the weather. Her advice ended up resulting in additional great experiences for us.
