Glad we went, area is incredible. Wish there could have been some transportion from train station to bus pick up. Weather was not good and it made it unpleasant to walk the long distance to the bus. Would have been good to have had a bus to wait in while we waited for our bus, raining constantly. Semi easy to navigate however again, lots of walking envolved, it would be nice to alleviate some of this.

This was a waste of money. Your guide was loud and unhelpful. Just take the train and save your money. We had a eurail pass and would have enjoyed the train ride much better.

I had a solo weekend available in between business trips, so I signed up for this tour to see more of Switzerland. As others mentioned, it is partially guided which I found to be a good balancing of learning about the area and having some personal time to explore. Both Grindelwald and Interlaken are beautiful places to explore. It was near freezing with on and off rain, so I spent the free time walking around and checking out the cafes, restaurants, and shops rather than hiking but in nicer weather this would have been a good option as well. Neither place is particularly large so there is enough time to check out both. The trip was well organized and on time, and the guides were very nice and helpful.

The weather was forecast to be bad and it was! We had rain and cold temperatures. We spent the day trying to stay dry and ended up spending the last hours in a public building out of the r@in. The bus back to Zurich was 20 minutes late picking us up, and when you are wet and cold that is a long time. The response from the guide who was on the bus… “not so cold here, I just have a shirt on?????” I would recommend that when forecast is for bad weather, you cancel this excursion.
