Visiting the Sphinx was a dream, and the views of the glacier from the observatory were breathtaking. I was amazed by such stunning landscapes. I’ve been to Alaska, but I’ve never seen snow so pristine and white. The Glacier Palace even had a gallery with ice sculptures, absolutely amazing! My tour guide, Jhon, was fantastic, smart, fun, and made the experience even better. Worth every penny!
Thank you for your kind words! It means a lot to know you appreciated both the views and our organization.
Outstanding tour guide who was smart, informed, and truly kind. A lot of trains and buses but soooo worth it!! The ice palace is unbelievable. Truly drilled into a glacier to create this!
Dear Katherine, thank you so much for your good review. We loved having you on the tour! Switzerland’s landscapes are always more special with curious travelers like you.
Overall experience was absolutely incredible and unforgettable. From the gondola ride up from Grindelwald to the scenic train journey to the summit. We especially enjoyed exploring the Ice Palace, taking in the views from the outdoor platforms, and standing at the snowy "Top of Europe." What made it even better was that all the tickets were included — everything was perfectly organized, so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Thank you Jon
We really enjoyed our tour. It's truly awe-inspiring to witness the incredible engineering and dedication it took to carve a path through the heart of a mountain, all the way to the highest point in Europe. While it can get a bit crowded, that’s to be expected at any world-famous destination. Lauterbrunnen is magic as well.
