Great day in Switzerland
My brother and I enjoyed the tour of Lucerne, Interlaken, and the Alps through Switzerland Viva Tours. The day was a mix of rain and sun, but our guide Kateryna was thoughtful about when to take breaks to avoid the rain, and how to maximize the sun. Even with some weather, the train ride was an excellent experience, as were the two walking tours. Many thanks also to George, who worked extensively with me through WhatsApp to make sure all my questions were answered.

Great Experience, Would Highly Recommend
Perfecft day trip from Lucerne. Interlaken was more beautiful than we anticipated. Nico, our guide, is a true local & native of Lucerne who answered everyone's questions thoroughly. I'd 100% recommend this tour & guide.

Great scenery on the train!
We had a great time on this trip! The train ride is 2 hours up and 2 hours back but the scenery is unlike anything we've seen anywhere we've been around the world! We also sat in the dining cart and had a beer on the way up! The walking tour of the city was very informative and our guide, Julianna, did a great job! We highly recommend this experience!

Lucerne Train to Interlaken
Nico our tour guide was amazing and very personable. The whole tour was very relaxed and not rushed at all. He took us to local markets to try chocolates and grab lunch fro the train ride. The train was nice and we had beautiful view along the way to Interlaken. Interlaken is nice but it felt very touristy, so we did not hang there to much longer after the tour.

A little disappointed
The time for the tour was wrong; the operator showed up 20 minutes after our given time. The city tour was fine but the train trip was just a crowded train trip through farmland; the alps are only 4000 feet on this trip.
