Zurich: Interlaken, Grindelwald & Lauterbrunnen Guided Day Trip

lachiquis4, Nov 2026

Super tour!!!

Adolfo, Ursula, and Felipe were super!!!! My husband and I loved the tour and the good humor of the guides. Felipe, our driver, was also super kind and took us closer to the summit so we wouldn't have to transfer and could thus make the most of our time on the mountain. This is without a doubt the best tour; I highly recommend it to make the most of a day in Zurich and its surroundings.

Jungfraujoch: Top of Europe Day Trip from Zurich

Stephen, Oct 2026

Unforgettable Day at the Top of Europe, and the Best Guide I've Ever Had

I've been traveling for many years, and this was easily one of the best tours I have ever taken. I joined with a couple of friends, and from start to finish it exceeded every expectation. The itinerary is spectacular: a stop in Interlaken, the drive to Lauterbrunnen, the cogwheel train up through Kleine Scheidegg, and finally Jungfraujoch, the Top of Europe. The view of the Aletsch Glacier from the Sphinx Observatory is breathtaking, and walking through the Ice Palace felt like stepping into another world. Everything was well organized and perfectly timed. But what made this day truly special was our guide, Kid, from Thailand. What an extraordinary person. Kid made us feel welcome from the very first minute, shared the history and stories of the region with real passion, and looked after every single person in the group down to the smallest detail. Kid even took all of our photos throughout the day, so we came home with amazing memories from every stop without having to worry about a thing. I don't say this lightly: in all my years of travel (and believe me, I have traveled a lot), Kid is the best tour guide I have ever had. Kid turned a beautiful excursion into a memory I will treasure for the rest of my life. If you're considering this tour, book it. And if you're lucky enough to have Kid as your guide, you're in for something unforgettable. Thank you, Kid!

Great day on Glacier Express and Andermott.

Pleasant day, beautiful views. Victor was a wonderful guide. Trip went like clockwork because of his great planning. We went on 6 trains and every one was on time. I could never have planned it so well. Food really good on the Glacier express. Sit on the left side leaving Zürich facing the direction you are traveling . You can really see from everwhere and apparently you need a reservation. Only down side, it was raining in Lucerne.

Mt Titlis Glacier Paradise Tour from Zurich With Lucerne

Rebekah_K, Feb 2026

An unforgettable experience

This was an amazing experience. It was snowing, so we weren’t sure what we were going to be able to do. Although a few things were closed, our tour guide made it the best day ever for us. We agreed that this was one of our favorite days on our entire trip to Europe. We were very impressed with the kindness, respect, fun attitude, and overall positive experience we had. There were surprises along the way, and it was absolutely stunning outside. Because of the snow, our tour bus was one of the only ones on the mountain, creating a magical experience for us. Despite the snow, we still had a really fun day. Our tour guide also based the day off of our wants and needs, so it never felt like we were just sitting around for nothing.
