Hans and Milan were...
Hans and Milan were fantastic. Only issue is would say is our English speaking guide left the tour at Interlaken instead of accompanying us to Grendewald.

We only booked one day in...
We only booked one day in advance and the tour offered an English speaking guide so we booked. 99% of the other passengers were going a different tour and we were the only ones doing Grindelwald. The other group parted ways and we went on to Grindewsld. The booking said 3 hrs but when we got of the bus the driver said 4 hrs. No directions as to say …go that way towards town. We felt a little concern when we got to the 3 hr in town, so we called the phone number at the bottom of our email from viator and it was not in service!!! So we thought we better walk back just to make sure and no bus driver. Went back in to own for another hr and came back on time but another couple did not. So we waited and then left and then circled back to get them. Not sure whose number they had. I felt we were the tag alongs for this trip. The guide & driver were nice

A dream realised.
This trip was well run and meticulously planned. It was so spectacular even though it was raining and cloudy. Kid the guide was fantastic. He was knowledgeable but came with his own flair and made the trip fun. Michael the bus driver was also great. It felt like we were in safe hands.

Kid “Hello” is phenomenal.
Kid “Hello” is phenomenal. No dull moments with him . He knows how to take care of his clients. He takes good pictures and videos. I highly recommend him as a tour guide. He made our tour extra special.

The trip itself is...
The trip itself is absolutely beautiful - I highly recommend it. Interlaken and Grindelwald are well worth a day to explore, in fact, if in the area - a must! However the reason for only 3 stars was the guide, Kid was his name, was quite rude and unprofessional from the time we stepped on the bus to when we returned. He barked at us (rather than welcome us onboard-poor representation for Viator) and continually threatened to leave us if we were not back on time. There was no narration of the beautiful area we were in on the way up the mountain and back which was expected on a tour. Basically we paid for a bus ride and a rude guide. Had I known we would have booked something other than Viator trip. Interestingly he said he had been doing this for over 15 years!?....but do go see this area - it is spectacular! I would recommend the trip but not with this guide.

Great trip to Interlaken and Grindelwald
Great experience and easy travel to Interlaken and Grindelwald from Lucerne. Plenty of time to explore both towns. Our guide, Kid was hilarious. He is missing out on a Vegas career.
