This was the best tour we did in our total vacation. My whole family liked it.. it takes total 12 hours to complete the trip, so it will be tiring at end of the day. They gave us few stops here and there and completed the whole tour effectively.

Every facet of the trip through the Bernese Oberland to the Jungfraujoch was spectacular. Our guides were engaging and very knowledgeable. The sequence of the tour was deftly rearranged to take advantage of better weather at Jungfraujoch in the morning. This maximized the awesome views at the Sphinx.

It is quite a long bus ride to the train and then the cable car to reach the summit of Jungfrau, but the journey offers varied views of the countryside. This tour was a high point of the trip to Switzerland. The weather was great and we had phenomenal views of the Alps which surrounded us. The Best of Switzerland did three tours for us and they were all professional and well organized.

Guides were great, lots of local knowledge, extremely thorough in making sure we saw everything along the way. I traveled solo and I felt they really made sure I was never alone and had someone close by to have a bit of banter with
