4.00Great pick up and drop off. The cave portion was about an hour and we were happy for good shoes and long sleeves with the most beautiful views coming out of the caves. The roads are winding with many beautiful lake views.

5.00This was a great way to see 3-4 locations in one day. The tour guide was on time and knowledgeable and accommodating. Also we got to spend enough time in each spots and take pictures. I always book through viator when I am traveling and only had great experiences so far.
Everything was perfect.

5.00We were staying in Lucerne for a few days and wanted to get out and see some of the smaller mountain towns so we decided to take this tour. Our guide John was very knowledgeable and knew the best scenic areas to see/stop at in each place. He was very personable and went out of his way to make everyone’s day special. We saw several beautiful lakes, experienced the rock formations and running water of the St. Beatus Swiss caves, and spent time in breathtaking Grindelwald, Lauderbrunnen and Iseltwald. We were in a small van with only 8 passengers and were able to do/seen more than on a big bus. Definitely recommend if you get the chance-
Just do it!

5.00Great day tour to Lauterbrunnen, surrounding villages, and cave. The ride was comfortable and the scenery was breathtaking. John did a nice job navigating and showing us the highlights of each village. We had a fabulous lunch with great views at BaseCamp in Grindelwald.

5.00John was an excellent guide getting us around and answering questions. The Mountain View’s were stunning. The color of the lakes were almost magical. This was a great way to get out of the city and see the beautiful countryside and charming villages.
Great tour! Don’t miss!

5.00We would highly recommend this tour! Our tour (and guide) was great! The guide shared info about the area and the country. What truly stood out was his care and adaptability. When the weather changed, he ensured our group stayed safe (and dry) while still having an amazing time. We loved the cave even more than we thought we would. And even in the rain all of our stops were beautiful! His friendly attitude and flexibility made the entire trip stress-free.
The best day of our whole trip!

5.00My husband and I had an absolute blast on this tour! Ben was our guide throughout the day and he was extremely friendly/personable and easy to converse with. Pickup was exactly on schedule and instructions for meetup were clear. This tour takes you to SO many of Switzerland’s most beautiful spots, and I felt like we had just enough time to enjoy them without feeling rushed. This day was absolutely the highlight of our two-week Europe trek, and we would recommend it to anyone that wants a taste of Switzerland with limited time!

5.00If you’re nervous about caves don’t go - also don’t go if you can’t walk on an incline. I was expecting more time in the villages- but I loved the scenery.
