We did this as a day trip because we were staying in Basel for just a few days. This was a fantastic experience to see the countryside and other parts of Switzerland. There is quite a bit of walking, which I enjoyed however some in the group had a difficult time. Additionally, there isnt a ton of free time to shop or experience the small towns.
Overall,, a great experience to learn more about Switzerland, highly recommend!

Thank you for your review and for sharing your experience with us. We will include more free time in the next tours. We’re glad it was an enjoyable one. Have a safe journey home!

We had a fantastic day out exploring Lucerne and Interlaken. The scenery from the trains are beautiful (not just the panoramic train but the return journey too). The day was long, but felt effortless, all planned and ran smoothly by our warm and welcoming guide, John. We learnt a lot about the Swiss towns, had some scrumptious chocolate, and enough free time to wander. We really enjoyed our day and would highly recommend Viva tours and John.
Note that if you have suitcases/luggage that you don't want to take with you, there is luggage storage in Basel train station. Very easy to use and cost us 8 chf for the full day for an XL locker which fit a suitcase, hand luggage and 2 bags (with room to spare).
