Definitely a must!!!

5.00It is a MUST!!! It was an amazing experience with a FABULOUS guide. Kid (guide) was amazing, attentive, and so much fun!!!! Kid made sure we saw all the gems on our journey snd he made sure we walked away with many pictures of my partner and I with the best back grounds. He wanted to make sure you “enjoy your holiday” which he reminded us of often. I highly recommend this day trip. Things to consider…. Bring snacks and water. Be prepared for the cold temperatures and wear comfortable walking shoes.
Best tour guide, Kid

5.00Fabulous tour! Loved the entire day — train, gondola, the top of Europe. Highly recommend. Wish I had known: Bring a good refillable water bottle, healthy snacks, a hat, and mittens. We were also unclear about lunch options at the top. Kid did a great job of leading, taking pictures, and making the day enjoyable. This is NOT a waste of money!!
Maybe the best excursion or tour we have ever done.

5.00We were picked up on time in a very nice motor coach. Our guide Kid was exceptional all day long. He constantly told us what side of the bus or train to be on for the best photo. He took a lot of photos of us together, much better than selfies. Probably the best your guide we have ever had. The content of the tour was the best part. We saw incredible countryside, rode on two different cog railways and 1 large tram. Interlaken is a very touristy town in a gorgeous setting. Jungfraujoch was over the top. An incredible setting between two mountain peaks, stunning scenery, mountains and glaciers everywhere. Loads of people but ample room to get around and take photos. Wear shoes good for walking on snow and ice. A very warm coat and gloves are a must also, especially when going through the ice palace, very slippery and the hand rails were very cold. Helpful hint: if you are prone to motion sickness take some meds even before you get on the bus. Our driver was very good but uou are on winding mountain roads all day.

5.00Really a fantastic highlight of our Switzerland trip! Everything was perfect. Got a little altitude sickness but our guide told me to get chocolate and a coke and once outside I’d be fine. He was right. Our guide was so wonderful took amazing pictures. We had perfect weather to see everything. One thing , it is a long day and no eating on the bus and very little time to grab food. So prepare ahead for that. But I highly recommend this.
The whole day was very...

5.00From the moment I was picked up in Lake Lucerne this trio tops anything I could have imagined! My love for mountains multiplied on this trip. The scenic drive to Interlaken was breathtaking. Going up the mountains on a series of trains, walking through the Ice Palace was not only chilling but beautiful and then onward to the Sphinx Observatory. The views took my breathe away, literally and figuratively. Every direction. The views will be forever etched in my mind. On the way back down the mountain on the Eiger Express Gondola. Thank you for this!
