Exactly as described but...

Exactly as described but could have added the number of steps involved. Didn't mind them, I can do that many, but we had like 20,000 steps when we thought there wouldn't be much at all with mostly train riding/viewing. I wouldn't change it, loved it, just saying probably should let people know so they for sure wear the correct shoes. We also decided to stay up in Interlaken after the tour left and they guide helped us out with detailed information on how to get back on our own. This was wonderful! We used the time to take the funicular up to the top in Interlaken - well worth the add!

Fast track Switzerland

Scenic train ride. Would have liked first class train seats for the price we paid. On the way home we had trouble finding seats. Overall I’m glad we did it , the lakes are breathtaking. Would have preferred more time in Interlaken but it was worth the trip.

Enjoyed the Lucerne and Interlaken tour with Juliana as our guide.

Juliana was an excellent guide with a very friendly and warm personality. She showed us a good variety of attractions and providing us with a lot of information and insights. Juliana gave us time for a break and do our own thing for an hour . We don’t think have covered more, especially since it was 33 degrees hot. Overall very happy with the tour.

A day to see some of the best of Switzerland

just stunning scenery, John was knowledgeable, friendly but did not pound the facts into us. He made space for the grandeur to impress us on its own and he got our adult family vibe.
