The landscape of Thun Lake is out of a fairytale. We had a nice cruise and took the lunch on board. Beatus caves requires some fitness readiness as it's quite steep but slowly you can do it. Our guide Joana was very kind and friendly which made the experience even better
Thank you very much for your lovely review! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed discovering the Swiss Alps, the breathtaking Lauterbrunnen Valley with its waterfalls, and the fascinating Beatus Caves. It’s wonderful to know the small-group setting allowed you to fully enjoy these special places. Wishing you a safe journey and unforgettable memories of Switzerland!
This tour was very well organized and offered a perfect mix of nature, culture, and local food. The visit to Thun was charming, the Beatus Caves were impressive, and the lake cruise had stunning views. The cheese tasting was a lovely final touch. I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to experience the beauty of the region in one day.
