Great scenery on the train!
We had a great time on this trip! The train ride is 2 hours up and 2 hours back but the scenery is unlike anything we've seen anywhere we've been around the world! We also sat in the dining cart and had a beer on the way up! The walking tour of the city was very informative and our guide, Julianna, did a great job! We highly recommend this experience!
Operator response
Thank you for your wonderful review. It was our pleasure to host you. Have a safe journey home, and we hope Switzerland leaves you with many great memories!

Lucerne Train to Interlaken
Nico our tour guide was amazing and very personable. The whole tour was very relaxed and not rushed at all. He took us to local markets to try chocolates and grab lunch fro the train ride. The train was nice and we had beautiful view along the way to Interlaken. Interlaken is nice but it felt very touristy, so we did not hang there to much longer after the tour.
Operator response
Thank you for your kind review and for joining our tour. We hope you had a memorable time in Switzerland. Have a safe journey back home!

A little disappointed
The time for the tour was wrong; the operator showed up 20 minutes after our given time. The city tour was fine but the train trip was just a crowded train trip through farmland; the alps are only 4000 feet on this trip.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that the experience did not fully meet your expectations.
We sincerely apologize for the delay at the beginning of the tour. We understand that starting a tour later than the communicated time can be frustrating, and we will review this situation with our team to avoid similar issues in the future.
We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the city tour. Regarding the train journey, we appreciate your comments and understand that expectations about the scenery can vary. This route is designed to offer guests a relaxing Swiss railway experience through different landscapes, including countryside views, lakes, and mountain surroundings. As mentioned in the tour description, this experience focuses on discovering Swiss landscapes by train and is not a high-altitude alpine excursion. We will continue working to ensure that the tour information helps guests choose the experience that best matches their expectations.
Thank you again for your honest feedback. Your comments help us improve the way we present and deliver our tours. We wish you safe travels and many more enjoyable experiences.

Memorable tour
I recently booked a TripAdvisor tour from Basel, and despite having visited before, it felt like seeing Switzerland for the first time. When a schedule change disrupted my originally scheduled tour, I was seamlessly rebooked onto another tour for the next day. The connections were smooth, the sights were stunning - I’d recommend this tour to anyone without hesitation. Our guide John was patient, knowledgeable, and engaging, he made the entire experience effortless and memorable.

Worth it!
Ben G., our tour guide, was as good as it gets! Walking tours were very good with Ben’s extensive knowledge and great personality. Stopped enough times to talk as well to help my spouse catch up with her personal mobility device.
The train rides were relaxing but a lot of stops. The Interlaken lake views from the train were beautiful. Super clean and nice trains.
Operator response
Many thanks for your lovely words! We truly enjoyed spending time with you and are delighted you had a great experience.

Wonderful day
Juliana was an amazing guide. She provided excellent information and did a great job making sure my elderly mother had places to sit. The train to Interlaken was amazing, the weather was perfect and Juliana made sure we knew where to sit to have the best views. The chocolate samples were a nice treat!
