5.00This tour was perfect and beyond expectations from beginning to end! Our guide Julianna was a gem! She met us right on time, explained our day and anything else we wanted to know and got us on our way. Julianna guided us perfectly as we made our way to the trains an on into Thun! There was a mechanical issue with the train after a few stops and Julianna did not miss a beat and got us off and on to another train right next to us that got us to Thun. Once in Thun Julianna gave us a great tour and kept the pace easy as we were with my 79 year old mother. We then boarded the ship for an amazing once in a lifetime lunch around Lake Thun. We then were guided to a bus to head to the caves. Julianna was proactive letting us know that we may not want our mom to go to the caves which was ideal as it is a VERY steep incline to get to the caves followed by a 926 meter hike with stairs and narrow trails inside the caves. She made sure to make sure my mom was set while we went to hike. The caves are awesome but a workout! After the caves we were directed to another bus where we got to Interlocken for a cheese and chocolate tasting. Both were amazing and special. Julianna then guided us all the way back to our hotel! Total time 12 hours and was worth every minute for the memories! Julianna and the tour are fantastic and worth it!
