Second guessing my decision

2.00Not overly impressed. The bus was late arriving, the location spot we were told to wait was inaccurate, people were late coming back from the three different stops we were at , food and drink was allowed on the bus, even though there were signs saying no “food or drink” , some parents couldn’t control their kids, there was no Wi-Fi on the bus, trays missing from numerous seats making the bus look old and tired. However, we did enjoy our guides and the location locations visited.
Amazing Day Trip Experience!

5.00This day trip exceeded all expectations and ended up a highlight of our month-long Switzerland and Alps visit. The tour lead was amazing seamlessly going back and forth between speaking and interpreting English, Spanish, and German to make the entire multilingual group feel welcomed.
Great experience

5.00We had a great experience. I had read many reviews and knew that the bus was coming from Zurich and would have many passengers already when we boarded in Lucerne. Luckily we got to sit together. In Grindelwald, we took the gondola up to Mount First, had lunch there and walked around. It was gorgeous and the weather cooperated until we headed to Lauterbrunnen. The guides, Gaby and Nilsen, were great and we learned a lot about the area. Thanks! Heads up, the Interlaken and Lauterbrunnen stops are short but understandable because it is already a long day.
Worth a day tour

5.00We took on this tour as it covered 3 places in a 10 hrs tour. Our tour guide is so knowledgeable and I learnt so much about the country. Grindelwald First was our highlight and the scenery is spectacular. Our tour leader looked after us so well and we feel So connected.
Great, but wish we had more time

4.00The guide was wonderful and the driver expertly drove us up the curvy mountain roads. I wish we had more time at Grindelwald, because there were long lines for the attractions on First Mountain. We barely had time to do one thing and there were several that looked fun.

5.00Our day tour to Grindelwald was just as described. Our guide was most accommodating, even beyond what we expected. Our bus driver (Jennifer??) was excellent!!! All said, we could not have asked for a better day.
The Three Village Visit

4.00We enjoyed going to the of Top o’ Met in Interlaken to watch the paragliders sailing over the mountains and landing right in front of us. It was so cool. From the rooftop cafe, you could almost touch the gliders. Our tour guide recommended this spot to watch the gliders, but had no time to walk the area. Then we went to Grandawal where if you didn’t want to go to the First Grandawal, you had to waste a lot of time walking around the shops. We did see an avalanche through a high waterway that broke the snow and sounding like thunder. Very scary! Didn’t know to watch or run. It was ok. Then spent an hour in Lauterbrunnen. Very beautiful. This three village tour could have been broken up more efficiently. Extremely long day!
Great tour

Disorganized guides, stunning views

3.00This tour was very disorganized from the start. Bus was late, unclear what bus to get on. The guides never called people’s names or clearly organized boarding, so getting on the bus felt like a complete free-for-all and was honestly stressful. The meeting point in Lucerne was also extremely loud and chaotic, and the guide did not manage the situation well at all. Overall, the guides were disappointing and lacked organization and communication skills. That being said, the trip itself was absolutely worth it. Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen were stunning and truly some of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. Despite all the frustrating and annoying parts of the experience, the scenery made up for it. It is definitely a very long day, but if you can tolerate the disorganization, the destinations themselves make it worthwhile.
Tour of 3 beautiful Swiss mountain towns

5.00Great excursion, our guide Olga was excellent relaying information in both English and Spanish. The Cliff Walk and suspension bridge with falling/blowing snow was a highlight! Our bus driver was also excellent on curvy roads and made us feel safe the whole time.
