This trip is extremely organized and well-run. I very much liked being able to turn my brain off for 12 hours and follow my tour guide’s instructions. Jungfrau is incredible to behold and the trip allows you to see a lot of this area of Switzerland in relatively little time. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable on the area and also the complex linguistic history of the Swiss. It is a long day with a lot of travel but that is more a geography issue than any problem with the trip. I also would have loved to hike to the snowshoe lodge on Jungfrau but the tour did not afford enough time to do so- you really just have the time to see the greatest hits by the station and grab a bite to eat.

After a few moments of panic at the ticket office because I booked the tour at 6:30am on the day of the tour and the agent could not confirm my reservation and they were close to bus capacity, I was cleared to go. Thank you Best of Switzerland Team❤️ From that point forward my experience was wonderful. The guides Roberto and WeiLi or Wally as Roberto sometimes called her, brought their knowledge, excitement, and energy to the 12 hour tour. Roberto provided the history background along the way, fun facts, and personal experiences, stories, and special recommendations as we went. WeiLi, with energy turbo charged by a single double espresso, whirled around us all day and personally assured everyone was enjoying the experience. The visual experience of the beautiful countryside and the majesty of the Schweizer Alpens was wonderful and easily worth the time and money. My thanks to my guides for the memories!!👍👍❤️

Our guide, Fernando, was superb! The views were amazing, and he provided history and interesting facts along our journey. The bus stopped for photo opportunities. Each town was another breathtakingly beautiful stop. Bathroom breaks, stops for snacks, and shopping opportunities were plenty and not too long. The timeline was outlined and punctuality emphasized. Of course, Jungfraujoch with the Sphinx Observatory were the checks off my bucket list, but the journey to get there was amazing. I will add that this is a long day — 12 hours — and seemed to be a bit much for some small children in the group. Don’t miss this trip. We had only a couple days to see as much as possible, and this trip surpassed our expectations.
