Very timely. Great introduction to the region. Good information given on the bus on the way there. The sights were amazing. I plan on returning for more than just a day. The tour company offered plenty of recommendations for activities while there.

We had a lot of fun. We have visited very amazing places. Two tour guides provided us with the information we needed. In Grindelwald the tour guide walked us around the town an explained where to go, what were the famous places to eat and what activities to visit. Very well organized. We were given several hours of private time to explore both places. Suggestion to future visitors. Listen carefully your tour guide for details about drop off spots, meeting points and train schedules. It might be a bit confusing, but if you listen, you will be fine and won’t be left behind. Enjoy.
Grindelwald & Interlaken Comfortable and Fun!

Monika was amazing! Very knowledgeable and a great guide!! Easy going and fun great recommendations easy to navigate with pickup and train ride. Will book again!
Skip this tour! Waste of time!

I'm extremely disappointed in this tour. It says in the description a 2 hour drive from Zurich, then we get to spend 4 hours in Grindelwald and 4 hours in Interlaken. First, our tour stopped in Lucern to pick up more people. There were like 3-4 different tours on one bus. It took 4 hours to drop everyone off at separate places. I did not get 4 hours in each place. When I asked if I had enough time to do more than one thing the guide told me no. Well, if I had 8 hours like I was supposed to then I would have had plenty of time to do it. Skip this tour! A total waste of my time and money. Take the train there yourself. It will be faster and easy to get around and you can do everything you want with plenty of time. I wish I would have done that instead.

Terrible Tour!
Phuong_T
, Jun 2022
I was looking forward to this trip when I arrived Zurich. How disappointed the tour was. First, the tour guide is terrible. She is NOT really a tour guide, rather she is a chaperone! This tour is to provide a bus transportation to Interlaken and Grindelwald and when we get there we are on our own. It is NOT a guided tour as I expected. It’s not worth $134! Don’t waste your money.
Response from Host , Jun 2022
Dear Phuong, we are sorry to hear that you haven't had the great time on this tour of beautiful Swiss Villages. Our travelers are very important to us and so do their feedback, it's seems there is complete disconnect between your understanding about the tour and the detailed description provided in the tour about the inclusions which might have caused the disappointment at your side. As mentioned the tour runs in the AC bus coaches from Zurich to Interlaken and excursion by train from Interlaken to Grindelwald, It was guided tour in Interlaken and Grindelwald with leisure time for travelers to explore these two villages at their peace, do activities based on their interest, tour guide in the tour was experienced licensed guide, not sure what was you were expected from her, it's absolutely disrespectful to write such feedback. Usual train tickets with guided walk even at single town would cost you the same or money, we would recommend you read the tour description, inclusions very carefully to avoid such bad experiences as per your expectations (1 star means we haven't deliver anything promised in the tour, which is absolutely wrong) as this has been rated excellent by other travelers and designed keeping their needs very carefully. Hope we will able to serve you better next time. Thanks, Yo Tours
Partially Guided Tour

It was a partially guided tour. We were essentially exploring the places by ourselves. It was more of a ride. Our guide was knowledgeable but it was three tours on one bus and he was only with one group.

Tour guide Galrors and Weili were really kind and helpful. In each place they helped us to get sufficient information. And Grindelwald was beautiful and peaceful. You must take this tour!

Pretty country but very bad outcome. Tour guide said meet at 5:30pm at the train station. He pointed it out to me, only it was the wrong train station . Bus left without me with no attempt to contact me. Worst experience of my life!
Response from Host , Jun 2022
Dear James, thanks for sharing the feedback, this is a very strange scenario since the meeting point details are already mentioned correctly in the shared leaflet with detailed information about the itinerary of the day. After spending the leisure time in Grindelwald and Interlaken, the guests are asked to meet the bus and guide in Interlaken at 17:45 at Höheweg 95 (which is a spot next to the car park where they have a break in Interlaken in the morning, so they should be familiar with the location). We have waited at the meeting point for about 15 minutes for you and haven't able to connect with you till that time, it has also briefed in the orientation to reach out on the number in case if you need any assistance of support, but we haven't received any call until 18:40 from you by the time bus has departed with everyone else on the tour. Thanks.

Trip of the year!

Our guide was a gregarious senior, whose knowledge of Zuchich, Lucern and smaller villages in between Grindenwel was both entertaining and informative.
If you appreciate natural beauty that our Lord has provided, then you’ll love this trip. Be sure to take the Adventure 1st gondola to the top of Mount Jungfraujoch and be submerged in breath taking views. At the bottom of the mountain, watch paragliding enthusiasts arrive in the village field of Interlaken. Don’t forget to patronize Hooters for lunch before buying souvenirs. This is a fantastic and unforgettable experience! I highly recommend this trip!
I would recommend this tour

I had a great time. While staying in Zurich, I wanted also to experience the beauty of the nearby villages. So the trip ruote was perfect for me. I enjoyed the wonderful views of countryside with its houses, valleys and mountains.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
