We loved our tour. The fact that we didn't had to go to a meeting point but rather were picked up directly in our hotel lobby was top notch. The tour itself is well organized and in one day we saw so many places around Central Switzerland. Winter scenery was beautiful but now we want to see it again in the summer. See you next year!

In one day we discovered many highlights of Swiss Alps and villages. If you visit it during the winter make sure to be warm as the weather is quite cold. At the end of the day we wanted to finish in a different place so was very convenient to travel by Van as we took the luggage with us. Our guide Gabriel was a star, super friendly and knowledgeable. We had a fantastic tour!

Our family had a very nice your. Those views cannot disappoint anyone (unless it's stormy). Beatus Caves was quite an exercise I have to say but worth it. Transport was comfortable and very convenient to have pick up / drop off. Would repeat it anyday. If you take this tour prepare your camera ;)

Alps are truly magic, signing for this tour was definitely the right decision. I could feel their professionalism even before the trip, with all the questions/enquires we were having .. We had a super lunch in Grindelwald and loved to explore Beatus caves / Lauterbrunnen. John did an amazing job to keep our group organized but always in a light and enjoyable way.

Incredible 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.

This was such a wonderful experience! From Basel we visited Lauterbrunnen, the impressive Beatus Caves, and charming Grindelwald – all in one day without feeling rushed. 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!
