Great tour! Not so great crowd?

Parul_P, June 2022

Amazing tour. Both tour guides were incredibly knowledgeable and seamlessly guided everyone smoothly throughout the entire tour. This was our second time taking the tour and loved every bit of it.

Amazing experience

Amol_L, Feb 2020

Jungfraujoch is is must visit in Switzerland. Amazing view at the top as well as throughout the journey from zurich. Its worth every penny. Bus was comfortable, guide was very professional and cooperative and hotel was nice. Thanks team for such amazing experience.

Many thanks to the Chinese tour guides!

果果爱, Oct 2019

The trip was very well-organized! I like the whole trip, especially the Chinese tour guides Dan and Ding who were always very responsible and warm! Thank you very much!

Amazing scenery

John_A, July 2019

Just great scenic experience. The drive to Interlaken was amazing. Enjoyed exploring Interlaken and the funicular ride to Harder Kulm. The scenery was amazing overlooking Interlaken. The visit to Jungfraujoch is indescribable. The train trip was a great experience and being and experiencing the alps was unbelievable. A tour that I would do again.

Day trip to Jungfraujoch

Elgar_A, Jan 2019

The trip was well planned departing at the scheduled times. If you are doing the two day trip I would recommend doing the trip with family. The overnight stay is worth it as it in the mountains but note that it is 3 star accomodation. The tour guides speak English well and are quite knowledgeable about the area.

The tour could've been way better...

TzuYing_C, June 2018

The tour could've been way better. The guide just dropped us off at Grindelwald without any information and just told us to meet them at another train station in the morning. Didn't know where our hotel is, or what we can do in Grindelwald.. so felt a little stupid spending more money on this tour. Grindelwald is a quaint town.. but the downfall is there are millions of flies everywhere. Its in your food and on you pretty much the whole time. Pretty disgusting. Jungfraujoch was beautiful but when we got to the top camp, there was no place to sit and everywhere was on the floor like refugees. The food was super expensive and did not taste good. Overall I will never go back again.

JiaHao_T, Jan 2018

Highly dependent on weather and period. I went in November which is a down period in Grindelwald thus no activities to do for a whole day. Jungfraujoch visit was a pity too with really bad weather and zero visibility. The mountainous sight in the area was really great and the saving grace for the trip

Belinda_C, Sept 2017

Great highlight of our trip away. The Jungfrau was magnificent. Long trip from Zurich for us but worth it. I am so glad we stayed overnight in Grindelwald. It was so beautiful with lots to do. This made the trip. I think the Grindelwald option was better than Interlaken, definitely more scenic. Plus we saw interlaken on the lunch break. Definitely worth it. Plan to go back to Grindelwald in the future.

Michael_M, Mar 2017

Terrific trip! We opted for staying overnight at Grindelwald and truly enjoyed the town and the close proximity to hiking trails. Our stop at Interlaken was also enjoyable but dedicating more time enjoying the beautiful scenery outside of Grindelwald was the right choice for us.

Kathryn K, Oct 2016

I would rate the actual trip up to the Jungfrau with our excellent tour guide as a 5 star experience. The cog-wheel train was wonderful and the view from the top quite breathtaking. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. If I had to do it over, I would not bother staying at the hotel. While quaint, it did not provide shampoo or conditioner in the bathroom which was a problem for me at the end of a 2 week vacation. The included breakfast was a bowl of cold granola and a coffee.

Cherry D, Aug 2016

Grindelwald was amazing, the small house up in the hills, the Jungfraujoch view on that day is amazing, our tour guide very friendly and manage to watch all of us, coz we are very big group, amazingly everyone very ontime. the night we spend on Grindelwald is worth it.

PuiKwan_N, June 2016

Antje is amazing!!! She is the best tour guide I had met ever!!! She has great knowledge of Jungfrau, clear instructions and sweet voice, nice smile, patient and polite, which makes the trip even better! She even has suggestion on where to sit on the train for better view!

Kinnari_N, June 2016

The tour staff was very friendly and helpful.The tour guide Karin was very nice and gave very good background on Switzerland. The bus was very comfortable. We stopped at Interlaken and had adequate time to see the main street. The time allowed for sight seeing was adequate. The tour started and ended on time.They had me stay in this beautiful Hotel Derby. The view from my room 412 were incredibly beautiful. They gave decent breakfast. I had to manage coming down from Grindelwald to Grind with my luggage but the bus ride was free.The Jungfrau train ride was included. I could not see much on the top because of the fog/ clouds, better luck next time. I highly recommend this two day tour from Zurich to Jungfraujoch via Grindelwald.

Steve E, Sept 2015

The tour was fantastic. We spent the night in Grindelwald. This is a better choice than Interlaken if you wish to hike. If you want to shop, then go to Interlaken. The trip to Jungfraujoch was surreal. The guides were great and we really enjoyed the tour.

Nickiecole, July 2015

This is an amazing must do tour! It is definitely worth it to stay overnight. We chose Interlaken and it was the cutest little town. There are so many fun activities to do hanging around for the day and exploring more of this beautiful country.

Samuel L, May 2015

Basically transported to locations then dumped to do own thing. Different guides for both days were boring.
