All aboard: Roger Federer is taking tennis fans—and Trevor Noah—on “the ride of a lifetime” with a Grand Train Tour of Switzerland.

The video, produced by MySwizerland Tourism, allows the 20-time Grand Slam champion to show off his bourgeoning comedic chops alongside the former Daily Show host as the duo depart for a trip that quick turns meta as they board a train towards Interlaken, a small town east of Bern.

“We’re just late,” Noah assures Federer, who in turn warns the comic against using the word “late” around the notoriously punctual Swiss.

Federer and Noah are longtime friends with the former appearing on The Daily Show in the wake of his official retirement from tennis late last year.

“You have, for over two decades now in many ways defined a sport. You define how people see it, how people try and play it,” lauded Noah in Federer’s December appearance. “You’ve become larger than life.”

But this isn’t Federer’s first Grand Tour of Switzerland, having partnered with Oscar-winning actress Anne Hathaway for a similar promotion last spring.
