5.00This is a great tour to do and the company is super accommodating. We accidentally overslept, missing the bus we were supposed to get on for the tour. A few minutes after the time we were supposed to be there, we received a call from the company which is what woke us up. They asked if we were coming and we explained what happened. The company was nice enough to leave our tickets for the tour and the cable car to get there at the front desk, making it easily accessible and allowing us to continue our tour even though we missed the bus. Once we got to top of Europe we were able to meet up with the tour and finish off the tour. We were super grateful for Lars and his commentary on all of the history and information from top of Europe.
I felt there were way too...

2.00I felt there were way too many people on this tour. They dropped us off in Interlaken and just told us to be back by a certain time. There was no guided tour. Same with Grindelwald. They brought us to the cable car to the first walk but didn’t tell us our options of what to do there or suggestions of what to do in town. The bus ride was fine although it was so crowded I couldn’t get a seat with my husband. I felt it was too expensive for what we got.
Great tour worth doing

5.00Great views and walkways and nice after having low/no visibility at Pilatis and Matterhorn. This was at end of trip and made up for the others. No one’s fault on others as we learned it rains 150 - 180 days / year so you never know.
Spectacular!

5.00Guides were outstanding, professional, knowledgeable and courteous. We just finished a 12 day tour of Switzerland and decided to take one last excursion to grindewalde. So glad we did.. it was the best!
Breathtaking!

5.00The views are second to none. You can just hang out the whole day and enjoy and relax. Describing the area doesn't do justice. You have to be there to experience. We stayed there overnight, our room had the best view ever, next to the Cliff walk. No private bathrooms, just shared but clean. It also includes free breakfast. The lake is about an hour hike which was nice.
The tour guide was great!

5.00Wonderful experience! We were able to sightsee, shop, ride a cable car through the mountains, and see a magnificent waterfall. The highlight of the trip was the cliff walk. It was heart stopping yet exhilarating at the same time. I would rate this tour as the best one I’ve ever taken.
Great experience

5.00Well organized even though it was a multiple pickup scenario. The guides were right there to answer all our questions. A lot of walking was involved but rewards were great with stunning scenery and good food. Would refer to friends and family.
