5.00I felt safe with our Felipe who drove us back and forth from Zurich. Your guide Lars was very accommodating with our needs; very knowledgeable and making sure we are all safe and satisfied. I would recommend this tour.
Crowded and ling tour...

3.00Crowded and long tour without clear directions. I would have liked a synopsis of the day on the bus before we arrived. In Interlaken we had shopping time but after some information regarding the hand crafted wooden objects, directions to those stores was not given. I also saw the mailbox as we left. I would have liked information re:mailing cards before we arrived. 41 people with multiple languages was just too many.
Definitely a Must-Do!

5.00It was an adventure of a lifetime! The sights were unbelievable!!! And our guide Annett was very good and gave a lot of good information about the sights we were about to see and also in general about Switzerland. My photos were spectacular! It turned out to be a very sunny day; cloudless skies. But on our way down, the clouds started to roll in, so really, there’s a lot of luck involved in planning when to go. The cogwheel rail just boggled my mind! And to think it has been operational since the early 1900s. Those tunnels carved out of the mountain by human hands, I was and still am in awe!
Dizzying but unforgettable

5.00Jungfraujoch is truly spectacular, I'm glad we experienced it so close up. The trip was well paced. Our guide Yanseh was gentle, funny and very informative, making the trip to our destination go by quickly, adding considerable interest, and teaching us much. Getting up the mountain to the Jungfraujoch itself is a somewhat dizzying but unforgettable experience, what a view! The glacier is magnificent up close and the world stretches out below you. We could have done without some of the added razzmatazzy high tech features built in to the circuit at the top.
Unforgettable Jungfraujoch Experience with Outstanding Guides Despite Foggy weather

5.00We had a wonderful experience visiting Jungfraujoch from Lucerne, and a big part of that was thanks to our tour guides, Adolfo and Min. Adolfo was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive throughout the journey, making sure everyone in the group was well taken care of. His explanations were clear, engaging, and added so much value to the trip. Midway through, Min joined the tour, and she was equally professional and informative. Together, they created a smooth, well-organized experience and made sure no one felt left out. Even though the weather wasn’t ideal and it was quite foggy at times, the trip was still absolutely worth it. The overall experience, combined with the excellent guidance, made it memorable and enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommended!
Great day overall!

5.00Thanks to both the driver (young handsome Jose from Colombia) he said he was fairly new at his job, but he had excellent training in driving such large bus!!and the more senior gentleman, Fernando!

5.00Just do it! You walk through, on top of and have spectacular views of a glacier. You cannot take a bad picture and you’re subjected to one of a kind views all day long. Our guide Gonzalo from Argentina made sure we were prepared for stunning vistas and were camera ready when we came around corners on the train to capture breathtaking photos! He was so very knowledgeable, personable, looked after everyone and was super attentive to making sure all of us were doing ok. From babies to seasoned adults, he enjoys people. Would do it again and hope I had Gonzalo as a guide. Thanks for a most memorable adventure!
Super awesome

5.00We had a great experience visiting Jungfraujoch with Best of Switzerland from Lucerne. The whole day was a series of well-timed events that were made possible my our fabulous tour guides, Alexander and Yuxia! They kept our group on schedule all day in a friendly, organized and fun manner, so that our time could be maximized on the mountain! They also shared an impressive amount of background information on Jungfraujoch and the surrounding region ! Xuia in particular was quite bubbly and she really made our day quite enjoyable! She was always willing to take a photo or find a bathroom for one of her guests. What an awesome day! I highly recommend it!
A Must Do in Switzerland!
