FThe sights were...

The sights were beautiful but the group was too large. Our guide Bernadette did a good job and was very kind. We had a bilingual group so it was somewhat difficult for the guide to organize everyone and we felt it took away from the overall experience. The stop at Interlakken was our least favorite, but Grindelwald was amazing.

Amazing experience

It was such an incredible experience ! My tour guy Gonzalo was amazing honestly I have a particular fear of highs and he helped me with it, he advised us to go do the tour of the mountain and my 90 years old grandma and my mom had a great time! Thank you for everything

Best Tour Experience

This 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...

I 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.
