  The trip itself is absolutely beautiful - I highly recommend it. Interlaken and Grindelwald are well worth a day to explore, in fact, if in the area - a must! However the reason for only 3 stars was the guide, Kid was his name, was quite rude and unprofessional from the time we stepped on the bus to when we returned. He barked at us (rather than welcome us onboard-poor representation for Viator) and continually threatened to leave us if we were not back on time. There was no narration of the beautiful area we were in on the way up the mountain and back which was expected on a tour. Basically we paid for a bus ride and a rude guide. Had I known we would have booked something other than Viator trip. Interestingly he said he had been doing this for over 15 years!?....but do go see this area - it is spectacular! I would recommend the trip but not with this guide.

  Great experience and easy travel to Interlaken and Grindelwald from Lucerne. Plenty of time to explore both towns. Our guide, Kid was hilarious. He is missing out on a Vegas career.

  Was very disappointed, we were on a coach with people going to Jungfraujoch, the guide travelled with them all the way, we were dropped off at Grindelwald, at the bus station, with no guide, & no one to tell us where to go, I had to ask someone on the street, as how to get into the town, he told us to catch a bus, & we could of walked there, would have been nice for the guide to tell us these things

  Viator review This was a great trip but you need to understand what it is and what it is not. It is essentially a very nice bus to get you to other parts of Switzerland that you can’t get to easily with public transportation. Potentially you could take the train, (which would probably be hard to do both places in one day or make for an incredibly long day) but this bus tour is at a convenient time and you see the beautiful Swiss countryside and mountains. The bus came from Zurich already loaded with people and picked us and a few other people up in Luzern. It was a little less than an hour to Interlaken. That is where we got off but the bus took other people somewhere else. This trip to a not a guided tour. Kid, the tour guide, was friendly enough. But he only spoke for a few minutes at the beginning about some general facts about Switzerland, let you know what time to meet back at the bus, and let you know the good photo ops on the drive. He gave us his contact on WhatsApp in case we had an issue during the stops. He was asleep the whole way back. We had just under two hours in Interlaken. That was enough time to go down the street, take photos and admire the view of the gorgeous, snowy mountains, and get some coffee. When we got back to the bus, it wasn’t there which surprised and worried us. But sure enough it showed up, we boarded and it left two minutes early. So make sure you’re not waiting until the last minute. From there, it was over 30 minutes to Grindelwald where we had just over three hours on our own. We booked it over to the gondola and paid (separate from the “tour”) CHF 144 for two tickets up Mt. First (pronounced Fearst). The gondola ride takes 25 minutes and is gorgeous. The views of the alps at the Top of Europe were definitely the highlight of the day, and probably of our whole trip to Europe. We had just enough time at the top to do the cliff walk (awesome) where you’re on a metal grate platform getting even better views. One spot of the cliff walk has an elevated point where we stood in a long line waiting to get our photos with amazing views. If you didn’t do the gondola you would still have pretty mountain views but looking at tourist shops would get boring since you have 3+ hours on your own to fill your own time. Our trip started at 8:30 am and got us back to Luzern at about 6:30 pm. For basically a bus to get us to Interlaken and Grindelwald, we think is think the price was fair. It was a good day trip. ACCESSIBILITY: My wife has bad knees so we brought a walker, which we were able to store under the bus. If you brought a child you could store a stroller down there too (it’s similar to a tour bus in the US). The bus has a handful of steps to get up. Interlaken was flat and easy for her to get around. Grindelwald was steep, which was more of a challenge for her. But she was able to get in and out of the gondolas ok as they are low to the ground at the platform and move slowly. If you want a true guided tour then this is not for you. But if you’re ok with doing your own thing and meeting back at the bus then it is great.

  Grindelwald village is 1,034 m (3,392 ft) above sea level. Mentioned for the first time in 1146, it has become an important tourist destination of both Switzerland and the Alps since the golden age of alpinism in the 19th century. It is overlooked by a section of the Bernese Alps from the Wetterhorn to the Eiger, which creates a natural barrier. Together with the adjacent valley of Lauterbrunnen, the valley of Grindelwald forms part of the Jungfrau Region of the Bernese Oberland, between Interlaken and the main crest of the Bernese Alps. Similarly to Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald is connected to Interlaken by the Bernese Oberland Railway and is the start of the Wengernalp Railway, leading to Kleine Scheidegg. The latter resort is the start of the Jungfrau Railway, the highest railway in Europe and a gateway to the Jungfrau-Aletsch protected area.

  

• Very Poor Experience

  Our guide, Kid, was very extremely aggressive, and made our group very uncomfortable. We were left off in Interlaken, without and maps or any direction. Unless you want to buy expensive watches, the town was disappointing. The town of Grindelwald was nice, and we could shop and get a good lunch. I have never written a poor review, of the very many experiences I have had with Viator, but this was the first and hopefully only bad review I will ever write so that I can warn other travelers.

• WORST TOUR COMPANY!!!!!!!

  THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!! The guide, Kid was the rudest, curt and weird person I’ve ever met. Walks around the bus showing photos of himself dancing around like a badly dressed clown. The tour was ‘The Kid Show’ he wanted to be the centre of attention all day. His jokes were incredibly inappropriate and NOT funny! I was 3 minutes to the bus at Interlaken. The bus was gone. Can you imagine how that felt, being left in a foreign country by myself. I panicked and i was scared. I had NO idea what to do! The company don’t care and blamed me. I don’t care too much about missing most of the trip which cost so much money. This is about how I was treated. All these bad reviews about Kid and he’s still the same! Shame on you Grayline!! Spoilt my trip and many others. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!!

  Our tour guide Kid was annoying. At first he was funny and entertaining, but by the end of the tour he was rude, bossy and otherwise obnoxious. We sat in the front seat of the bus on the trip back to Lucerne and there was a tire pressure warning on the truck console. The driver came close several times to hitting another car, and at one point the whole console lit up in orange when he stopped suddenly. We enjoyed going to Harder Kulm on our own and seeing Interlaken from above. We probably could have seen Interlaken and Grindelwald on our own without booking the tour.
