5.00Very friendly guide that knows his way around Switzerland. He was able to get us past long waiting lines and catch trains that we would have missed had we not been with him.

5.00Our guide Michael was a wealth of information and always had something interesting to do or talk about that was over a 12 hour tour. We loved the transport and the whole tour would highly recommend a guided tour for this one.
Majestic and Incredible!

Jungfraujoch Private Tour - couldn’t have been better

5.00We had an absolute excellent day with beautiful memories we will never forget thanks to our private tour guide Feyssal. Feysssal was outstanding. He met us at our hotel on time and guided us on and off trains and the gondola. When we went outside at Jangfraujoch he made sure we understood to hang on to the rope and ensured we had the best experience possible. He was our private photographer and did a great job. 😁 on the train ride there and back he was very interactive telling us about Switzerland as well as being interested in our country Canada. We had a great day thanks to Fayssal. Well worth it. Your Canadian couple from Sunday Oct 2nd. 🙏
Jungfraujoch experiene from Basel

3.00Tour guide was waiting for us at our hotel on time. She had all our connections timed perfectly. We went up the mountain on a rainy day, snow as we got higher, couldn't see anything at top, but snow and clouds we stood in. Not the fault of tour. Still loved it up there, especially, walking right through a glacier! We did not tour Lauterbrunnen as promised in the tour details, and only saw Wengen because I asked to and mentioned we were supposed to see it. Also, did not see the S. Waterfall we should have. Did not expect to spend quite so much time traveling to and from Basel, but, enjoyed the scenery. I think we paid too much, it was $100 more than the first advertised amount and we did not get what was promised in the tour. (Don't mean the view from top, as that was not Viator's fault.) For two of us the tour, we paid about $1400. If we had paid a more reasonable amount I would rate this tour higher, even though, we did not see everything promised.
This was a perfect day. Our tour...

5.00This was a perfect day. Our tour guide, David, was prompt, a wealth of Swiss knowledge, kind and helpful. We were together for over ten hours and it was a joy. He was great with my 11 and 14 year old children. The tour of Jungfraujoch was astonishingly beautiful. We saw immense glaciers and walked under one. The trip was all as advertised and more.
