While it’s a long day, it’s worth it! The scenery, the views, and the locations are amazing. It may seem like you’re moving along at a quick pace, but then you get to relax at the Top of Europe. Olga and Ping were very friendly and professional and did a great job of explaining the itinerary while offering fun tips.
This was a wonderful all day trip on several different modes of transportation, through different types of areas, with small villages, rivers, farms, and of course scenery! Alex, our guide, was amazing! And the Junfraujong left us breathless! One of the best days we've ever spent!
A must see when visiting Switzerland. Our group lives in mountainous regions of Montana, USA. So we are used to mountains and snow. But this experience is magical! The views are spectacular. The engineering to build the climb to the top is so impressive! We had a great guide and learned much. The only negative was the number of “influencers” that took the journey to the top in fancy outfits who then proceeded to ignore the no trespassing signs to pose for pictures for social media. Very rude. But it seems to be the world we live in. Would still recommend this tour to everyone!
Beautiful views but warn about shortness of breath. It gets better the longer you stay but at first it’s a little scary
There are no words for this experience... It is simply SENSATIONAL and UNMATCHED. Highly recommended!
Overall we loved the experience. The one negative was the heat… something out of the control of our tour guide. The trains, gondolas and common spaces do not have adequate cooling and air circulation to be deemed safe. Altitude also plays a part. My wife was only one of many who blacked out from heat exhaustion mixed with the thinner air. Would we go again? Absolutely, as soon as AC and fans are installed.
Right from the get-go, Gonzalo made us feel at ease. He guided us in English and in Spanish as we left Lucerne towards our tour destination. He described the mountains and gave us some history facts about the very beginnings of Switzerland which I found very cool! In each destination he was here in case anyone had questions. For anyone who is looking for a full day tour, this one is highly recommended! We had a very nice time in Interlaken our first stop and the cable car ride above the mountains was spectacular. This is a site to write on top of your list when visiting Lucerne! Plus the best place to be when the cities are hot…. Jungfraujoch is full of amazing things: don’t miss the Ice Cave, and the various exhibits around this sensational observatory on top of it. At the end of the tour, I would suggest a group photo because even though we don’t know each other, we did “make it there” together. Highly recommended for solo travelers too.
Nice trip! The Mandarin-speaking tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. She made the experience enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a well-organized trip with an excellent Mandarin guide.
An Unforgettable Jungfraujoch Adventure with Andrea!Our excursion to Jungfraujoch with Best of Switzerland Tours was the absolute highlight of our trip. The entire experience was incredibly seamless and well-organized, but standing at the "Top of Europe" was a truly surreal moment. The jaw-dropping, panoramic views of the snow-capped alpine peaks and the massive Aletsch Glacier were completely out of this world.What elevated this tour from great to extraordinary, however, was our phenomenal guide, Andrea. Her passion, deep knowledge, and wonderful energy kept everyone engaged and excited throughout the entire day.More importantly, Andrea showed incredible heart and professionalism. During our trek across the high-altitude terrain, a couple in our group began to struggle with the conditions and walking surfaces. Instead of rushing the group along, Andrea patiently stayed back and took extra time with them. She made sure they felt safe, comfortable, and fully supported every step of the way without ever making them feel like a burden. Her kindness and elite hospitality represent the absolute best of what a tour guide should be.This tour is worth every penny—and you will be incredibly lucky if you get Andrea as your guide!
Fabulous day and tour, our guides were brilliant and the time/care they spent with us was great. Highly recommend.
