Fantastic Experience!

5.00This was a fantastic day trip! We easily met the tour guide and group at the Zurich bus terminal. The bus was air-conditioned and comfortable. The first stop in Interlaken was very brief; we had time to run to the restroom and pop into a souvenir shop. Before we took the cogwheel train, we first took a regular train ride (so it's two train rides). The Sphinx Observatory and Ice Palace were amazing! We spent the rest of our time in the snow in Jungfraujoch. We had plenty of time for lunch, but it was close to 2:00 when we ate. The cable car ride back down the mountain was so fun. Our tour guide was Kid, and he was super organized, hilarious, communicative, and caring. Overall, this was a great way to get to the Top of Europe!
Mr. Kid-Best Tour Guide

5.00One of the best experiences of our trip. Mr. Kid was a phenomenal tour guide. We appreciated his hospitality and that he wanted to take pictures for us at all the best points of the journey and all the best overlooks. He was so knowledgeable about the area and Switzerland in general. For the tour being 12-13 hours, he was the best tour guide for that length of time. His energy is unmatched and he made the tour so much fun. The top of Europe should be on everyone’s trip to Switzerland. The views are breathtaking and almost do not feel real. For potential travelers, keep your fingers crossed that the weather is good and not foggy. This an absolute 5 star tour and experience.

5.00The tour was very well organized and excellently managed by our tour guide, Kim. He truly stood out and made the experience special for several reasons. Kim has a great sense of humor, which kept the tour enjoyable throughout. He communicated everything clearly and well in advance, ensuring everyone felt informed and comfortable. What impressed me the most was the way he treated every customer equally, with the same level of care and attention, without any differentiation. I would absolutely love to come back, largely because of him and the way he kept the group together and engaged throughout the experience. I’m extremely impressed with Kim as a tour guide and highly appreciate his dedication and professionalism.
Wonderful Tour and Tour Guide!

5.00My son and I had a wonderful trip to Jungfraujoch. The Swiss Alps are breathtaking and our guide, Raymond, was very knowledgeable and helpful at all times. He also took great photos of all the tour participants. This is my second tour with this company and I would highly recommend them. Thank you!
A great day

5.00This is an all-day excursion from Zurich. It was absolutely amazing! We had a great, fun guide - shout out to Kid! - who took great care of the group on the tour. He gave a great narration and pointed out all the interesting sites along the way. Jungfraujoch was spectacular! Word of warning: dress appropriately and in layers. We went in the first week of May and it was freezing cold in the ice tunnel and out on the glacier. The views of the Swiss Alps, especially from the top, were spectacular! Highly recommended and one of the best experiences we’ve had in all our travels.
We had Kid as our tour...

5.00We had Kid as our tour guide. We only had 5 other people with us so Kid was able to provide incredible attention to us. He is very energetic and takes pictures for you of incredible views. Interlaken was fun watching the paragliders land, Lauterbrunnen was where we caught the train up to the Top or Europe Jungfraujoch.....spectacular views. Ice Palace ....we were blessed with incredible weather. Highly recommend this tour and Kid as your tour guide.

5.00It’s a full day trip from Zurich and quite a memorable experience. We got the best experience thanks to Rayman (our guide) who ensured we have the best spots, best pictures and he was always calm. Top of the mountain and the train rides were amazing. A big thank you Rayman and the team.
