The best adventure ever!! - Wow! What a once in a lifetime opportunity! Did not disappoint. Kid who was our tour guide was amazing! So knowledgeable, everything was organised to perfection. Really he made the entire day. My sister was afraid of heights and he helped her combat her fears. The views were spectacular. The coach was comfortable. The train journey was really smooth with incredible views of the Eiger. This is memories I will never forget. Thank you Kid :-)

Listen to the instructions - Fantastic tour. It takes a lot of tour organizational skills to keep everyone on a tight time schedule. There are trains to board that can’t be missed. Our tour guide “Kid” was amazing. Kid kept us moving, on schedule, and still made sure each of us had the best pictures. Dress in layers, listen for the instructions given, and hydrate plenty due to the altitude. Bring gloves, sun glasses, chapstick, water, and shoes for ice and snow.
Last, get a good nights rest, and show up early to the checkin booth. There is a free restroom next door to the checkin booth, and plz use before you board the bus. The bus leaves right on time, as there are trains to catch.
This is a must adventure, recommend.

Worth it! - This might be the highlight of my short vacation in Zurich. The Top of Europe is highly recommended and please get Kid as your guide. He was funny, hilarious, and the groups choreographer/photographer. You will feel like you are treated as VIP when you belong to his group. He deserves a raise!

Top Of Europe - This was hands down the most amazing trip I’ve ever been on. Our tour guide Kid, Grey Line tours, was the best!! He is so fun and made sure we had the best time. He also helped us make the most out of our experience by taking all the pictures and videos of us individually and with whoever you were with!! The man needs a raise!! The weather was perfect and our group was great. If you’re on the bus and you’re making the stop in interlaken or Grindelwald, and not going to the top of Europe, you will regret it! Upgrade your trip, go to the very top and soak In all the views! It’s even beautiful on the way down!! Thank you Kid for an amazing day! You’re the best! (We visited on Nov 10 2024..) Travis & Erica!

Eccentric tour guide nice tour. - We had a guide by the name of “Kid” he is an acquired taste. Funny but bossy. We liked him but some people will be annoyed for sure. The tour was nice.
