Karen and Matt were amazing. We had an amazing day saw three beautiful places. I would say the only thing it wasn’t clear prior to going is the extra $70 a person to go up to the mountain on the CABLE card to see the Swiss Alps. When we booked, we thought this was included.
Some fascinating places. Even though we had a rainy day, it was a nice experience.
Our trip with Matt and Jose was amazing. We went to Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald and Interlaken. The trip its self was amazing value for money. The most beautiful scenery. Matt was very knowledgeable about the areas. Gave some great tips. Jose was a fantastic driver, with all the winding mountain roads. Absolute 10/10 for the trip, value for money, host and driver ❤️

it was a wonderful trip to Grindelwald! we also did a sidetrip to Lauterbrunnen and Interlaken. It was such a fun trip. the bus we rode was great. the driver was skillful and safe (great job antonio!) and we had a very good tour guide in Robert (Henry Danger look alike) ( from the US hit tv show). He guided us through out the trip, giving is tips at even offering to take our picture from time to time. he managed the group with ease and confidence. shout out to Robert! we went to Switzerland July to August (summertime) the weather is nice, not too cold. we had a fun day!
This was a fantastic way to enjoy the sights of Grindelwald at your own pace. The experience begins with a scenic gondola ride from the village, taking you up to three different stops, each offering unique activities. At the summit, you’ll find a cliff walk with breathtaking views of the Alps—so high up, you’re nearly eye-level with the paragliders! There’s also a restaurant at the top with great food and solid service. The lower stops offer options like bike rentals and paragliding, so there’s plenty to do beyond just the views. A few helpful tips: 1. Buy your gondola ticket at the village kiosk—it’s cheaper than booking online. If you’re staying locally, ask your host for a guest card, which can save you up to 15%. 2. Book paragliding or biking in advance to secure your spot. 3. Go early in the morning to avoid crowds, especially if you plan to do multiple activities. 4. While you don’t need to be super athletic, you should be comfortable walking without assistance, especially for getting on and off the gondola and the cliff walk. Highly recommend this experience—it’s a stunning and flexible way to take in the beauty of Grindelwald.
The view was amazing had a great time, the tour guide, Bernadette was really nice and helpful. Would definitely recommend
