Great experience! - Wonderful experience! The full-day tour was packed with fun, breathtaking locations, and an amazing atmosphere. Each stop was well-planned, allowing us to truly enjoy the sights. The highlight was definitely our guide, who made the entire day even more enjoyable with his enthusiasm, knowledge, and sense of humor. He went above and beyond to ensure everyone was engaged and having a great time.

Awesome-Jungfraujoch - This trip was the best trip of my life. We had the most exceptional experience of meet the best tour guide ever. My wife and I have traveled many countries in Europe and we have never had a tour guide that actually interacted with everyone. He took everyone pictures @ the best possible angles and poses in the whole entire trip. He never disappointed anyone in his group. Having Kid around made the trip exciting and fun until the end. I do recommend him 100% for every traveler who visit Switzerland. Kid is totally awesome.

The Mystical Journey - The whole journey specially the train rides towards the top of Europe. The guide was very knowledgeable, very helpful but most of all he was very caring. I got altitude sickness with little bit of shortness of breathe, wobble and dizziness. He helped me with great care by giving me advise, breathing exercise and hold my hand until i got settle. He helped me to get out the terrace and walked on glacier. I highly recommend this company to take tour with them. Unfortunately i forgot his name but he was a Spanish speaking guide from Mexico and name starts with R. God bless him!!

Breathe taking views w/ the BEST TOUR GUIDE EVER - The trip to Jungfraujoch was so much fun!! The views coming up, down, and while at the top were stunning. The facilities at the top are modern and well kept, and the cable cars and trains are comfortable as well with rest stops in between.
The most standout memory is our tour guide Kid!! The Devil works hard, but Kid works harder. He’s hilarious. We learned that he fights for and takes care of his tour group. My wife is 5 months pregnant with our first child and he was thoughtful to keep her comfortablilty in mind when traveling to and from the summit. He’s detail oriented and works hard to make sure you leave with a memorable experience and great photos to look back on. We’ve been to many countries and tours and he’s our favorite guide ever. We wish this man a fulfilling and long happy life. Appreciate the memories he gave us.

Great experience - Amazing trip. The tour guide was great. An experience of a lifetime
The views were unbelievable. We first did this trip in 2012 and would do it a 3rd time if we are in Zurich again.

Great tour with great tour guide! - Best part of our Switzerland trip! I am so happy that we booked through this company instead of trying to go to Jungfraujoch by ourselves. There are so many different modes of transportation required to get to the top, and I'm glad we had that taken care of for us. Jungfraujoch was gorgeous, and our tour guide Raymond was AWESOME! He was really nice, did a great job narrating the tour, made sure that everyone was where they needed to be, and took great pictures! I couldn't recommend this tour with Raymond enough. Thanks Raymond!

Jungfrau great! Bus ride terrifying! - On the whole, it was a wonderful trip. Our guide, Kid, was the best. He knew all the best places to see and take pictures. He kept the group together and knew everyone by name. He even leaned out the window of the train to take pictures of us going up the mountain. He was outstanding.
The problem we had with the trip was the bus driver. He was very impatient with other drivers. He speeded, tailgated, honked, gestured, went through red lights, passed when he didn’t have room, etc. Towards the end he was rubbing his face and eyes quite a bit. He had to take several evasive maneuvers to avoid collisions. A few people even commented to Kid. It left a poor impression of the trip.

Left stranded! - Tour guide left without me half way through the trip. I was 3 minutes late from a coffee break. A very unsettling experience being stranded in an unfamiliar country. So horrible
