5.00It is a great experience, at over 11k feet the oxygen levels will have an effect on your functioning abilities. How many times will you have this opportunity, bring water, sit when you can and help whoever your with. I’m in my 60’s may be different for young adults.
Excellent from beginning...

5.00If you do one thing in Switzerland, do this. Amazing experience. We went during the week in December so it wasn't overrun with skiers. Had a sunny day and the views were georgous. We also had great guides. I wish could remember their names (sorry). We went from Zurich and it was expensive but we'll worth the money. Do this!
Amazing

5.00This was a favorite excursion, in the many years I have visited places abroad. If you are not used to high elevations, 13,000+ feet above sea level, take caution. I had a head-cold and was dehydrated. So, I had a bit of uneasiness. I had to take it slow once we reached the highest excursion point. We were fortunate the weather cooperated with our trip. There were beautiful views of the mountains. The villages were awesome, including a few that reminded me of what small town life looked like in Switzerland. The accent and decent in the gondola provided miraculous winter mountain scenery. And yes, we did get to play in the snow. The driver, and I forgot his name, was outstanding. He was very skillful driving the large bus on the narrow roads to and from the tour. And, there were a few occasions he had to give the right of way because oncoming traffic made for dangerous maneuvering. Our guide's name was Lars. He was a very nice young man. I enjoyed the various bits of information he provided along the drive and the tour itself. He is a German that orated the tour in English and Spanish, which he spoke fluently. And, he jokingly showed that he was capable of speaking English in both neutral English and with a German dialect (very amusing). He was also engaging with off topic conversation in between lecturing. Lars also limited the conversation returning from the tour, allowing for the riders to nap. My wife and some family spent 13 days in four countries. This tour was one of my favorites. Don't let the price tag for the tour deter you, as I had initially. It was worth the money we spent to see one of the most beautiful sites of Europe.
A great tour ….

5.00Aldopha and Dan were great tour guides! We flew in from Boston, just took this tour on 12/7 and had a wonderful time. Bus station was easy to find in Zurich. The stop in Interlaken went by so fast. You only had an hour but was a nice town to walk through. Saw some paraglider(s). The ride out was pretty. Aldphoa was a great narrator. The ride to the top of Europe was neat. Couldn’t see anything since there was a snow storm but I’m happy I went. A great day! We were back in Zurich by 7:30 ish. Worth the excursion price, we would never have been able to do this on our own.
A wonder of place

4.00I recommend this excursion ñ, although it was a little cold at the top is an experience to live. Monica guides her, super attentive and with an ease to change great language. Driver Hugo also a caring and friendly man. I would repeat with them again😜. Just keep in mind that it is a 12-hour excursion and the return becomes heavy.
Excellent tour, staff...
