First of all, it's...

First of all, it's costly. To really make it an awesome trip, you will have to add to extra 180chf. However, it's well worth it imo. Kid was an excellent guide and great photographer. Our driver was top notch. The owner, owes us some refund because the wifi didn't work and he was very nasty about it. Wish we had more time in Interlaken. Still an great tour.

Amazing Swiss Alps Photo Shoot

Beautiful scenery with an amazing tour guide named Kid. Kid made the tour exciting and took so many photos of us with all different backgrounds. It was an incredible experience. It was like we were on a private photo shoot.

Nice tour

The places were amazing. The tour guide was not very nice. I think his name was Kid we did everything on our own, but guessing you get what you paid. Interlanken and Grindelwald worth the visit.
