The trip was very pleasant. My friend and I went to the top of the mountain in Grindelwald via cable car and it was breathtaking. The only issue I had was that the guide was not clear on where the pickup location was once we arrived at Interlaken to go back to Zurich. The flyer that was handed out stated a location and that was not where the pickup was. Although we were there 45 minutes early we almost didn't make the bus to go back. That was stressful.

A well guided tour with plenty of useful information. I would recommend that anybody doing the tour takes advantage of the optional extra to go up Grunwald First. I wasn't sure why it was necessary to visit Interlaken twice though on the tour

Overall I really enjoyed this trip. It was the perfect amount of time and the views were stunning. I did have a problem with the tour company though that did put a slight damper on the day. After the first stop in Interlaken we were forced to change tour buses to a different bus that was already full. I had to sit with a family I didn’t even know and was separated from the person I was travelling with for the bus ride to Grindelwald. They told us it was because this bus would give us more time but it’s just because the other tour guide didn’t want to have to take the extra minutes to drop us off. They had three different tours all mixed together which I think was poor planning. Overall I loved the rest of it but I think the company should do a better job planning out who’s on what bus and have a tour guide for this specific tour instead of throwing three tours together.

We were very happy to be able to visit Grindelwald, as it was very beautiful in February. The weather was chilly, however, that is coming from a Floridian. We weren’t very interested in Interlaken- there are some pretty views there, however, that town is really meant for shoppers, and I mean, big money, shoppers. If you like to shop, by all means, spend your time there. Everything was so expensive that all we did was look. When we got to Grindelwald, there were quite a few shops as well, however, more of them were souvenir shops. The views that you can get, there are phenomenal, however, be sure to check the weather before you book. The day that we went, was pretty cloudy so we could only take the cable car up to Bort, because if we went any higher, we would’ve paid for tickets to not see anything due to only 10 feet visibility. We really did enjoy the walk. The scenery and the food was great with a beautiful view. We definitely recommend eating at a restaurant that faces the Alps. The only other recommendation I would have is to take all of your items off of the tour bus. The tour guide told us that if we wanted to save the seats that we sat in on the way to our day trip cities, then we should put something that belong to us in those seats to secure them. Obviously, we didn’t leave anything Valuable, but we did leave a couple of items. When we got back on the tour bus, other people had moved our items and thrown them onto other seats the tour guide said, or suggested that he wasn’t going to be able to do anything about it, which is understandable, and we weren’t looking for an argument, but I figured we should bring that up as he really should never have told us to leave anything because people are not going to respect your items. Other than that, the tour guide was helpful and give us some great recommendations to eat where to go things to do and the day trip was a memorable experience for us.

The tour's well organized. Don't miss the cable car trip to first mountain in Grindelwald. It's really impressive.
