So beautiful!
This is a great tour to explore this region and see the beauty of the Swiss mountains. The tour guide gave us great info as we were driving and then we were able to explore on our own. A good mix of information and enough time to enjoy the mountains

Excellent excursion to the Swiss Alps
Spectacular excursion. From Zurich by bus we went through Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald, and Interlaken. The guide Andrea was excellent in Spanish and English, for her kindness, extraordinary explanations, all the info she gave us, and tips to enjoy Zurich after the excursion. The best guide. Sasha at the wheel was very good. Thank you!!! Highly recommended. We lacked time because there were many people waiting in lines since it was July.

Magical
Kid was the best tour guide! This trip was spectacular! We would have liked to spend more time in Interlaken VS Grindelwald. They are both great places.

disappointing in many ways
signed up for this tour because of many positive reviews. A chance to see much of Switzerland. Supposed to be time for exploration in Interlaken, Lauterbrunnen, and Grindewald.. From the moment we got on the bus our tour guide was trying to upsell us to Jungfraujoch which we declined. We spent maybe 40 minutes in Interlaken without the guide, and the maybe fifteen minutes in lauterbrunnen to take a picture of a distant waterfall. The our guide left us to take a group to Jungfraujoch. Our bus driver then took us to Grindewald and left us for four hours. Glad to have seen much of Switzerland but highly disappointed with tour giude/u[psell pressure. Also the location for meeting the bus was not clearly marked or identified on my mapping program and we spent several anxious minutes searching for bus
