Good tour, long long day. Don’t do if jet lagged or car sick

Beautiful country, happy cows, glacial water that looks amazing. The tour guide, Angela, was great. Very friendly and informative -tour in 2 languages! The day is very long. It’s a windy bus ride up a winding mountain road, bathrooms are scarce and a lot of tourist traps. We went on a rainy day and it was difficult. Don’t recommend to do jet lagged-better once you’ve adjusted. The tour was great, my timing was bad, and I wish I knew ahead of time that it’s a full 12 hour day.

Go to Mt. First - Breathtaking

Mt. First is a must-see if you come to Switzerland. The bus ride was comfortable and the sites were well narrated along the way. The hosts were helpful and kind. The stop to Interlaken was very brief. I wish we had just spent that time on Mt. First. There is a lot to do there, so check the options so you willl have tickets for the other attractions when you arrive in case they are sold out. Bring sunscreen and water!
