STACEY_M, May 2026

Loved this Alps tour!

Our driver Uri was excellent! He was so friendly and informative about everywhere he took us. We were very lucky to have a gorgeous weather so we were able to do and see so much. This tour was one that I was looking forward to the most on our trip and it did not disappoint! We have so many great pictures to remember the day. Uri made sure he took our pictures at each special location which was so nice so we didn’t just have selfies! It was a great day!

Zurich: Guided Daytrip to Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen & Interlaken

My husband and I took the Zurich: Guided Daytrip to Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen & Interlaken on April 21, 2026, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, everything was well organized and thoughtfully executed. Our guides, Jean and Renate, were exceptional both knowledgeable and engaging, striking the perfect balance between sharing insights and giving us space to explore. Their energy and professionalism made the day even more enjoyable. A special mention to our driver, Jimmy, who expertly maneuvered the bus through the narrow, winding mountain roads with confidence and ease. His skill made what could have been a nerve-wracking drive feel completely comfortable and safe. Grindelwald was absolutely breathtaking, and the Mount First gondola ride is an absolute must. The views are nothing short of spectacular; easily the most beautiful scenery I have ever experienced. Lauterbrunnen’s valley and waterfalls felt like something out of a postcard, and Interlaken provided the perfect complement to the day. If you’re considering this tour, don’t overthink it, book it. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience some of Switzerland’s most iconic and stunning landscapes in a single day.

Perfect way to travel like locals in Zurich

I loved the arrangement to travel around Zurich by public transportation; it really gave us a taste of what it's like to travel like a local. Greg was an excellent guide who shared a lot of fascinating history and interesting stories about the city. The pacing of the tour was perfect—we visited so many must-see places without ever feeling rushed. Expect a bit of walking, but the picturesque scenery makes it completely worth it!

Top of Eruope!

We had perfect weather for the trip to Titlis. Doria was an informative guide and helped the entire group navigate to the top of the mountain and explained all of the different activities. Be aware of your time and don’t be late! The coach will leave without you as a few guests did find out the hard way.

First off Vasilis was...

First off Vasilis was amazing! The tour touched on many aspects of Switzerland, history, architecture, culture, etc. Each stop was just the right amount of time to explore and learn. One comment would be that people need to be able to walk efficiently and effectively to get from spot to spot. One comment would be to have some commentary on the boat ride just for some explanations of what you might be seeing on the shore. This is an excellent tour and we would highly recommend because there’s such diversity and you see so much. we truly enjoyed it.

Day seeing the unique towns of Switzerland

Even though it was a long day, we truly enjoyed all 3 stops. Annette, our tour guide did a fabulous job telling us history and interesting facts along the way. Would have liked to have more time in Interlaken but the day was already long. Bus driver was excellent on some of those switchbacks.

Meeting location was easy to find and a perfect location to catch the train. Our tour guide, Rocky, was friendly and very informative. My wife and I plus another couple were the only ones on the tour which made it very easy to communicate with our guide. It was almost like a private tour. Rocky also provided us best locations to take photos. Very enjoyable tour.

Great experience!

We had an awesome time on this trip. John was a fabulous guide and being able to visit 4 countries in one day was awesome. Rhine Falls was beautiful. We had a lovely time in Lindau. A quick stop on Austria and then on to Lichtenstein. Our small group of 6 was perfect and while the stops in each country were short, it was a nice way to quickly visit and so worth it. We packed a lot into the day but could rest in the car in between countries. Totally recommend this experience!

Highly Recommend

The day was seamless. Our tour guide was very informative and gave lots of information about each town that we passed. We did have to wait in a lot of lines to get to the top of the mountain, but I think it was because we went on a holiday. The views were incredible and we enjoyed every second. We wish we had more time in Lucerne.
