    A Fantastic Decision- Upgrade

    My wife and I, along with friends, booked this tour in advance and without realizing that it did NOT include a guide throughout and that we would not be going to the top of Jungfrau. However, once this was explained to us by our guide, Kid, we decided to upgrade the tour and this was a wonderful decision. He was a real character and only added to our journey. This tour made the day a highlight of our vacation.

    Awesome experience!

    Awesome experience! We had a great time! The tour guide was very helpful and informative. Just be careful about the timing of each stop because this day trip has several options (such as the Top of Europe add-on and the Interlaken-Grindelwald focused tour), and people separate from the group at certain points. If you are a couple of minutes late for a pick-up (at, for example, Interlaken) and do not call the guide, he might assume that you want to stay in that place and leave you behind. This did not happen to me but did happen to one group. Important: CALL the guide if you might be late; don't rely on text messages. He will give you his direct mobile number.

    Fantastic trip with great views!

    Had a wonderful trip with amazing views. Our guide, Kid, was entertaining and interactive, making sure we had all the information we need for a successful day. We appreciated the format which gave us free time and independence with parameters on where to be and when. It was a great trip and we would highly recommend it!

    Great trip to views of the Jungfrau!!

    The views of the Jungfrau, Eiger, and Monch were spectacular! Kid was fun and engaging. The bus trip was easy to find and well coordinated. We loved it! We would recommend it to those wanting an organized yet independent trip up the mountain.

    What a rip off! Not a tour at all.

    DO NOT BOOK THIS "TOUR". This trip was booked as a tour. In fact, a bus picked us up, made a 30 minute stop in Interlaken, then dropped us off in Lauterbrunnen with a train ticket that would get us via 2 trains to the bus pickup town of Grindelwald. The tour guide was actually taking a tour group to Jungfraujoch, and we were 'offered' the opportunity to upgrade for $250 in cash. This is the first tour I've booked through Viator that was a complete rip-off. This NON tour is run by Hans Meier Tourist AG - Gray Line Zurich, again what a rip off. We were charged close to $ 150 each and based on research I did after the trip, the train tickets cost $40 each. Could have done the trip from Lucerne by train for much less cost and more fun.

    Going up to Kleine Scheidegg is amazing!

    This trip has amazing views . Many trips in Switzerland just go to Interlaken and Grindlewald . We have heard that Lauterbrunnen and Wengen are amazingly beautiful and this trip didn’t disappoint . This was the only trip that I found that goes to those places . When you board the bus for this tour , there are 3 different tours on this bus: those just going to Grindlewald and Interlaken for the day , those going thru Lauterbrunnen and Wengen to Kleine Scheidegg , or those going to the Top of Europe. The tour guide, Kid( that is his name) talks very fast and is abrupt. He has to go through the bus and talk with each group to give them instructions on what to do for their tour so he has quite a lot to do. We didn’t have a good feeling about this tour getting on the bus,( he’s having to order people around to tell them where to sit) but after we started out , we found him kinda funny . This was a double decker bus anf my elderly mom could not go upstairs and he hit that and made sure we had a seat below . That all being said , going to Lauterbrunnen and Wengen , though only quick train stops , make for the most gorgeous views, and I thought the trip was totally worth it .
