5.00We left the meeting point very punctually on a very comfortable and modern bus; the entire itinerary is very enjoyable, and I cannot recommend the guides Alexander and Priscila enough, who were attentive to us at all times, providing very appropriate explanations of everything we were seeing.
Amazing experience and highly recommended

5.00The excursion was an unforgettable experience! It was amazing to reach the top of Europe and make contact with that wonderful landscape of the Alps! Reaching the sphinx, the millennial glacier, the zipper train at 3400 meters was amazing! Everything was as we had been informed and we were lucky that both Andrea and Carla were translating into Spanish all the information they were providing, which was more than interesting! Andrea super professional and very committed to her task was explaining the steps of the excursion step by step and accompanying us at all times! Super recommended!

5.00On Monday we did the family tour and it was great. We really liked it. The organization was very good. We were very lucky with our guide Adolfo as he explained many interesting things about Switzerland while we were on the bus. Thanks to Adolfo we had a great day. It is nice to find professional people like him, who enjoy their work so much, infecting everyone with their enthusiasm. I recommend it to everyone.

5.00The view of the girl peak is full of curtains, coupled with blue sky, is a must-see attraction, there is a feeling of the earth under the feet. The team takes a variety of means of transportation, especially by cable car to see the view part is unforgettable. The view is beautifully resembling a landscape. In addition, Jo's attitude is very friendly and courteous, often full of smiles, and more proactive to help team members introduce and take photos after special sights.

5.00Excellent tour! It was very worth seeing these places. Natalia as a guide commanded very well. I definitely recommend the tour.
Amazing Tour!!

5.00This was definitely the best tour of our vacation. It’s a long 12-hour trip — not cheap, but absolutely worth every cent. You can book it with complete confidence. It’s not just about reaching the Top of Europe (Jungfraujoch); the journey itself is part of the experience, with stunning scenery along the way there and back. The transportation includes a combination of bus, cable car, cogwheel train on the way up, panoramic train on the way down, and a final return by bus. Our guide, Andrea, and her assistant, Yuxia, shared a lot of interesting information throughout the entire day. They were very friendly and attentive, answering all our questions and offering great tips. We had an unexpected delay on the way back and had to take a detour, which made the return to Zurich longer than planned, but our driver handled everything with great responsibility.
An Interesting. Two Days in the Pouring Rain!

3.00Excellent driving by bus drivers under very wet roads & slippery conditions through a very mountainous area. Safety was a top priority. Interesting commentary on the part of the tour guides who were both courteous & helpful. Serious overcrowding going up to the Jungfraujoch.
They put you in a nursing home for the stay. Don’t do it!

1.00Do not book an overnight stay with this group. They literally put us in a nursing home. When I called to complain, they were dismissive and said that it has good reviews and it’s a three star hotel. I said clearly you haven’t been here because it is literally attached to a nursing home. I never checked in the hotel, which wasn’t available for us and did not have a place to put large luggage, and instead spent $1000 out of my pocket to go stay in a actual hotel and not a medical award converted to a room. Highly disappointed that this is “” the best of Switzerland “ I’ve been to Switzerland dozens of times and this is the only poor experience I’ve ever had. I was very disappointed in the customer service when I called them about this matter as well. If you don’t believe me, go look at hotel artos in interlaken. It states it is attached to the nursing home and the reviews are very poor about the fact that it’s not really a hotel. It’s like a medical ward.
Wonderful experience
