5.00Incredible day trip from Basel! The guide was knowledgeable and friendly, making the experience smooth and enjoyable. Loved the small group—it felt more personal and relaxed. Lauterbrunen and Grindelwald were absolutely breathtaking, and the Beatus Caves were a unique stop. Hotel pick-up and drop-off were super convenient. A long day, but totally worth it to see some of the best of the Swiss Alps in one go.

The hotel pick-up and drop-off made everything super convenient, and the small group size gave the trip a very personal touch. Our guide John, was friendly and knowledgeable, making the whole day smooth and enjoyable. Truly worth it!
