Great day great guide

Michael_L, Sept 2023

Our guide Michael was a wealth of information and always had something interesting to do or talk about that was over a 12 hour tour. We loved the transport and the whole tour would highly recommend a guided tour for this one.

Thank you for the feedback - already sent to our tourguide.

Majestic and Incredible!

Richard_F, July 2023

Most striking was the incredible beauty of the Swiss Alps, waterfalls galore and charming surrounding villages. So pristine and immense! Imagining it all over again has become my zen happy place!

Excellent private tour of Jungfraujoch

Shelinder_B, Feb 2023

Ulrich provided a first class service and have a great insight into the mountains and the surrounding areas. He took care of all our travel and tickets so we didn’t have to. This was a great service. Will definitely be back in Switzerland and will only call Ulrich. Thank you

Jungfraujoch experiene from Basel

sherry_s, May 2019

Tour guide was waiting for us at our hotel on time. She had all our connections timed perfectly. We went up the mountain on a rainy day, snow as we got higher, couldn't see anything at top, but snow and clouds we stood in. Not the fault of tour. Still loved it up there, especially, walking right through a glacier! We did not tour Lauterbrunnen as promised in the tour details, and only saw Wengen because I asked to and mentioned we were supposed to see it. Also, did not see the S. Waterfall we should have. Did not expect to spend quite so much time traveling to and from Basel, but, enjoyed the scenery. I think we paid too much, it was $100 more than the first advertised amount and we did not get what was promised in the tour. (Don't mean the view from top, as that was not Viator's fault.) For two of us the tour, we paid about $1400. If we had paid a more reasonable amount I would rate this tour higher, even though, we did not see everything promised.

This was a perfect day. Our tour...

Nicole H, Nov 2017

This was a perfect day. Our tour guide, David, was prompt, a wealth of Swiss knowledge, kind and helpful. We were together for over ten hours and it was a joy. He was great with my 11 and 14 year old children. The tour of Jungfraujoch was astonishingly beautiful. We saw immense glaciers and walked under one. The trip was all as advertised and more.
