What are people saying about Switzerland

Ann_S, Aug 2026

Walking tour with cruise and cable car a must in Zurich

Our guide Vasi was very interesting and knowledgeable about the history and places we visited. A good paced tour with great variety. A good way to see and learn about Zurich. The only thing I would suggest is returning to place where tour began as without google maps I may have got lost. It did say starting and finishing at the National Museum.

Mount Pilatus Summit from Lucerne With Lake Cruise

Mount Pilatus Summit from Lucerne with Lake Cruise

Viator was easy to schedule and their communication was superb from start to finish. Our tour guide, Anna Belle, was extremely knowledgeable of Mount Pilatus and Lucerne, Switzerland. This tour was one of the highlights we experienced during our time in Lucerne. The views from Mount Pilatus are beautiful and breathtaking. We highly recommend Viator and this tour.

Tandem Paragliding Experience from Interlaken

Teck_K, Aug 2026

Great experience

Awesome experience. Thomas and Timo were our pilots- my daughter was a bit nervous and Thomas was wonderful at reassuring her and calmed her down. Thoroughly enjoyed the excursion. Both paragliders were great. We felt secure at all times. Seeing Lakes Thun and Brienz from altitude was surreal and breathtaking

Mt Pilatus and Lucerne Day Trip from Zurich With Lake Cruise

Zeynep_T, Jul 2026

Wonderful Experience

We had such a wonderful experience with this tour company that we ended up joining three of their tours back-to-back. We had Olga, Bernie, and Annette as our guides, and all three were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. The tours were exceptionally well organized, after all, it's a Swiss company, so everything ran like clockwork. The buses were comfortable, we had plenty of time at each stop, and the entire experience was stress-free. Olga even came to check on us while we were having coffee at the Metropole Hotel in Interlaken, which was such a thoughtful touch. If you only have time for one tour, make it the Mount Pilatus tour. It's truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Jungfraujoch Day Trip from Zurich: Swiss Alps & Bernese Oberland

TimK, Jul 2026

The top of Europe is tops!

This was the highlight of our Switzerland experience. It was the right itinerary for us. If you have to pick one mountain top experience: this is the one that you want to do. The right amount of time without feeling rushed at each location. Olga was a wealth of information and presented in an entertaining way (there aren’t any cows in the lowlands in the summer: they’re in the mountains on vacation!). She knew that there was weather moving in and led us directly to the lift to the Sphinx Observatory so we wouldn’t miss it. It started snowing in n July while we were up there and several outdoor areas closed right after we got through. Also she re-checked on us as the rapid change in altitude left us winded. We felt looked after and it was comforting as well as an appreciated safety measure. She knew the right place to snack (the self- service restaurant at the Sphinx observatory) and where to get my cocktail on (Aperol spritz is the drink of the summer). Timing was punctual and as advertised. Worth the money and we would recommend highly!!

Mount Titlis and Lucerne Day Trip from Zurich

Anne_M, Jul 2026

Give it a go!

We felt Lucerne was beautiful and the time was definitely adequate if you are also wanting to go up to Mt Titlus. For those complaining about the walk from where buses are required to park or a desire for more time, don’t do this then. While Mt Titlus ended up engulfed in clouds even though it was perfectly clear below, can’t do anything about the odds! Was a little surprised more eating options not open at Mt Titlus - summer lower season? But the Indian food at the very bottom was great. Guides were helpful and gave nice information about the area. Definitely recommend!

Rhine Falls and Stein am Rhein Half-Day Tour from Zurich

Mary_K, Jul 2026

Comfortable, Fun & Informative!

The bus tour was well organized and enjoyable from start to finish. The bus was clean and comfortable. Our tour guide, Olga, was enjoyable and informative. The itinerary was well planned. Overall, it was a great experience and would definitely recommend this tour if you’re looking for a relaxing and informative way to see the sights, I would highly recommend the Grindelwald, Interlaken & Lauterbrunnen bus tour.

Swiss Chocolate Walking Tour of Zurich

Debra_A, Jul 2026

A taste of chocolate culture

Julianna was an excellent guide. She set a reasonable pace and chose well for the selection of samples. She provided interesting and pertinent historical comments about the chocolate industry, the city and the region. She was also most helpful with local recommendations. We enjoyed the tour and recommend it.

Jungfraujoch Top of Europe Day Trip from Lucerne

Karlene_V, Jul 2026

Fantastic full day trip....

Fantastic full day trip. Operator allowed to join in Lucerne and go back to Zurich and they stored our luggage on bus which was appreciated. Fantastic trip and easy to book. Do watch the weather forecasts though and try and time your trip for a clear day. Leader was vey helpful and entertaining.

From Zurich: Premium Panoramic Train, Lucerne & Interlaken Alps

Angela_F, Jun 2026

Exactly as described but...

Exactly as described but could have added the number of steps involved. Didn't mind them, I can do that many, but we had like 20,000 steps when we thought there wouldn't be much at all with mostly train riding/viewing. I wouldn't change it, loved it, just saying probably should let people know so they for sure wear the correct shoes. We also decided to stay up in Interlaken after the tour left and they guide helped us out with detailed information on how to get back on our own. This was wonderful! We used the time to take the funicular up to the top in Interlaken - well worth the add!

Mount Titlis Half-Day Trip from Lucerne

Patricia_G, Apr 2026

Majestic Alps

The pickup site for the tour bus was easy to find and the ride to and from Engelberg from Lucern was without an hitch. Mt. Titlist is an amazing place to visit especially if you love snow and panoramic views of natural beauty. The views from the gondola and rotair to the summit were spectacular! And watching the skiers “bravely” wind down the slopes was awe-inspiring. At 75 years of age, I unfortunately had to skip the sledding, but having the clouds part for views of the majestic cliffs while on the suspension bridge will be an everlasting memory. Even though it was a beautiful sunny day, a hat, scarf and warm jacket were needed at the top. Being 10,000 ft high on a mountain in the Alps was an experience of a lifetime! Do it!
