Awesome and great...

Awesome and great experience with family. Nice management by tour guide. Overall smooth ride to beautiful places Interlaken & Grindelwald. One recommendation: the tour guide should have told or guide bit about the place Grindelwald.

Great Trip to the Swiss Alps!

Published on Dec, 2024

We initially booked this trip for the classic Interlaken and Grindelwald trip on Viator. The tour was a combined tour (all led by the same gentleman) with most folks doing Interlaken and Grindelwald, and another group doing a separate itinerary to the Jungfrau train station (Top of Europe) as well. We had our tour with Raymond, who was extremely friendly and helpful. Once on the bus, Raymond gave everyone maps and explained the itinerary, as well as a few options to upgrade for different experiences / sights to see, if we wanted to do so. We chose to upgrade because when we arrived in Interlaken, it was an extremely foggy day and was difficult to see any of the sites. We talked with Raymond and he assured us that if we chose the upgrade, it would take us to higher parts in the mountains that would get us above the fog and be sunny - It was $50 CHF per person to upgrade. Original Itinerary: Bus ride from Zurich to Interlaken - spend time exploring, etc. Bus ride to Grindelwald - spend time shopping, etc. Bus ride back to Zurich. Upgraded Itinerary: The upgrade option we chose started in Interlaken with the entire group. We were there for only about 30 minutes, then got back on the bus to Lauterbrunnen for a photo break and to catch a train to Kleine Scheidegg. This gave us an INCREDIBLE view of the Alps and was the most picturesque train ride (~30 mins). Once at Kleine Scheidegg, we stopped for more pictures and took the Eiger Express cable car/ski lift down the mountain to Grindelwald - giving us more incredible views of the mountains. Once we got to Grindelwald, we had about 2 hours left to explore, eat, shop, etc. The upgrade was definitely worth it and we would highly recommend if given the option!! Overall, the trip was absolutely incredible and well worth it! The only negative is it was a bit confusing to start when we realized there were multiple tours and trips on the same bus, but once we talked with Raymond he helped clear up any confusion and consistently checked in to make sure we were all confident with the itinerary, times, etc. for the tour.

Was very good and...

Was very good and experiential. I learnt a lot in this solo trip and the tour guide were so good too.

Out of this world

Published on Dec, 2024

We found our way to the bus and was greeted by a lovely man called hans and driver Mark. We were seated on a lovely clean and comfortable bus. We made our way to interlaken first and spent 2 hours there exploring before boarding the bus again to take us up to Grindlewald which was our favourite - what a stunning place and the views were out of this world. Hans gave us some interesting facts along the way. I would recoomend this to everyone !

Amazing Adventure!

The breath taking beauty of Grindelwald can only be described through the actual experience. Words alone cannot add meaning to what it means to visit this place.
