Review of Zurich’s 12-hour trip to Grindelwald, Interlaken, and Lauterbrunnen, with cable cars, waterfalls, Alpine views, costs, and practical tips.
“My only criticism was that there could have been less time in Grindlewald and more time in Interlaken . The guide Verena spoke perfect and clear English and the bus was spotless. Overall, a great time and to tiring at all.”
Explore Rapperswil, Liechtenstein, Heidiland, and Alpine passes on a scenic 7.5-hour bus tour from Zurich.
“This tour was absolutely excellent and very complete. The guide made sure everyone was having a great time and felt included throughout the day. We actually ended up visiting more places than were originally in the program, and everything was done with perfect timing; never rushed, but never slow either. Personally, I would have liked to have more time in Liechtenstein, since I spent a big part of it going up to the castle. Overall, the organization was smooth, the energy was great, and the experience exceeded my expectations. I would 100% recommend this tour!”

“The Swiss Travel pass is beyond worth it. You get access to almost all forms of public transportation, so once you’re on your trip, you don’t have to think about what tickets to buy. It covers everything. Worth the splurge for the peace of mind!”
Review of the Chamonix Mont Blanc day trip from Geneva, with cable cars, Mer de Glace, costs, weather tips, guides, and practical advice.
“What an amazing day! We left right on time (hint: don’t be late!), and made great time to our first stop. Our tour guide was super knowledgeable and passionate about us home town, Charmonix. Comfortable ride, well organised disembarkation and clear instructions. The gondola was pre-booked so we walked straight on. Amazing views from the top, a bit of a wait for the glass box, so worth it! Next stop was the train, and what a journey up! The ice cave as amazing. Would highly recommend this tour and the gondola and train addons. Very professional and well organised.”

“I enjoyed the tour. I only had a few hours in Zürich between my flights and it was my first time in this city. A bus tour was an excellent solution. Zürich turned out to be beautiful, clean, quiet. The bus was comfortable. And our guide Peter knew a lot about the city's history and had a sense of humour which made the tour even more enjoyable. When he found out I was from Russia he included a few bits of information connected to Russian history: about a cafe where Lenin would drink coffee or the university from which the first Russian female doctor Nadezhda Suslova graduated in 1867. I…”
