Perfect day! - Mike was a great tour guide and gave us a great experience. Everything was timed perfectly and we got to see so many things we wouldn’t have in on our own. Would definitely recommend!!

Simply overwhelming! - The path to the caves is more beautiful than the caves themselves. Since it had rained heavily the previous days, a lot of water fell into the abyss. Wonderful view of Lake Thun.

Great day on Lake Thun. - This enjoyable day trip takes you the full way around Lake Thun starting from Interlaken and proceeding to all the sites (caves, suspension bridge, city of Thun for lunch and across lake via boat to Blue Lake and back again). This tour permits ample personal time to explore these sites at your own pace and since travel is most by van to various places, you aren’t sitting and waiting for public transport except for the boat, which was only 10 minutes. I would recommend this day tour without hesitation.

Great ! - The guide came dot at time and picked us up. There were only 5 people in the tour so that made the whole experience very comfortable. It began at 8:45 am and ended at 5:45pm. We were given enough time to explore Thun by ourselves.

Best way to spend a day in Switzerland - I would do this again in a heartbeat. I know the price can seem a bit steep, but you are basically getting a private tour (there were only four of us in an air-conditioned van) of countless sites, all at the best times as to avoid the crowds. Our guide, Mike was friendly and knowledgeable, and conversation flowed smoothly between locations. He took us to the caves first thing in the morning - which was a truly special experience, as they were pretty much empty. My daughter and I agreed it would have been a different experience if there were a lot of people going through there. The city of Thun and the Blue Lake were just gorgeous, and everything was perfectly timed. I highly recommend.

many beautiful places in one single day - nice views during the entire day. Beatus caves are pretty cool to see, the thrill began at the suspension bridge later. Loved it. Seems to be a place well known by Koreans, as a love-story-movie has been taken there. Walk around in the tiny city of Thun was great. Complete non-touristic spot. Enjoyed lunch there. The tour went along the other side of the lake to "blue lake", which is a nature park. Nice to see the colour of the water. Good for natural lovers and people seeing water first time surrounded by mountains. Then drive to the lake boat and we had 45 min on the lake boat back to Interlaken. Gave another view to the area, we spend the day. Good combination in the tour, tour guide Mike was fantastic with a good sense of humor.
