Beware of this tour (ie). the tour guide named Kidd
Beware of this tour if the guide is a short man from Thailand with his hair sprayed upward and wearing culottes and a vest. His name is Kidd. He is rude and nasty to all the customers and was able to ruin what should have been an incredible tour.

Poorly guided tour
The tour guide was extremely rude and didn't explain any details. Gave incorrect information about trains and we had to seek help from locals. The tour guide didn't want to be bothered about any questions and behaved very rudely. Will not recommend this tour operator. Complete waste of our time.

Nice trip
First of all, a lot of reviews lambaste the tour guide, Kid. As first I could understand, but it became obvious it’s mostly a cultural /language difference. He had several different tours on one bus, we did something different than almost everyone else on the bus. He did not spend time answering questions if you were going to be with him all day, he needed to focus to get the others on their way on their own. He specifically pulled us aside, handled our tickets, told us exactly how to do our own journey, and he was correct and we were sure of ourselves once he let us go. On the way back he was quite entertaining and funny. On to the experience itself, we visited Kleine Shiedegg to se the north face of the Eiger, and it was gorgeous, and had a nice scenic train ride. Grindelwald was a nice place to spend some time as well.

Beautiful views of Swiss Landmark Mountains
There was a lot of beautiful scenery at some parts of the tour and lots of boring riding in a bus. Also there was lots of free time to wander the touristy streets of a couple of towns with overpriced merch and junky tourist stuff. The guide was pleasant and knowledgeable.
