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!

It’s a full day trip from Zurich and quite a memorable experience. We got the best experience thanks to Rayman (our guide) who ensured we have the best spots, best pictures and he was always calm. Top of the mountain and the train rides were amazing. A big thank you Rayman and the team.

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.

Definitely recommend!

I am so happy I booked this day trip, it was amazing. You get plenty of time for each town. The trip was perfect. They are very punctual so that’s something to pay attention to. I would definitely book another trip like this when I go back to Switzerland. I loved everything about it.

Mount Titlis and Lucerne Day Trip from Zurich

Matthias_S, Apr 2026

Great experience but a really a little crowded.

This was a great tour with fantastic views of the Alps. The visit in Lucerne was also fantastic. The one downside was that our tour group included two buses that were both very full so everywhere we went was very crowded until we were able to break away from the larger group after reaching the summit. Great views, great pictures and fun area. Make sure you do the ice flyer and cliff walk!

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!

It was a great experience right from meeting Mr.Greg near HB and then leaving him in HB. We could experience all modes of transports viz. Tram, Rail, Boat, Bus,cable car etc. Lot of information with supporting slides on TAB was a cherry on the top. Got a great feel about Zurich in particular and Switzerland in general. Greg was a great GUIDE ! who made a difference.

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.

I went in the middle of...

I went in the middle of March and there were 7 people on the tour, led by John. I had a great time, and even though it was raining, I still got to see a lot of cool places! Our tour guide did a great job of sharing information about the locations as well as letting everyone explore. I also liked that they sent WhatsApp updates the day before and the day of to make sure you have what you need. I really enjoyed this tour and would definitely go again.

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.
