We spent the most wonderful day with our private tour guide. We were paired perfectly with Christoph who loved history and geography as much as we did. This private tour gives you all the best experiences of this part of Switzerland (Interlaken,Grindewald, Jungfraujoch etc. You experience train rides, gondola rides that take you above the clouds, glaciers, an ice palace, a snow bar, and of course the Top of Europe. Its a full round trip experience with a personal guide that knows the best routes, stops, and exactly how it all originated. This wasn't just a personal tour...this was an experience! We highly recommend going in the early Fall as the pines are changing colors and its an incredible addition to the snow capped mountains and Glaciers.
Very weather dependent, we were lucky and lots of sunshine, a beautiful experience, you can see that the glaciers are receding and the eternal ice is not eternal. Advisable to visit during the week and as early as possible in the morning. A guide saves the need to ask when to go where and leads to a relaxed day trip.
The guide was excellent. However in the viator website it did not mention that we will be using public transport and walking the full 8 hour tour. I would have preferred a car to pick us up and take us to the closest spot ..to take the train to jungfrau.. and have the car come and pick us up at the next train spot. It also mentioned that we will be seeing grindelwald ( which we did not ) ..
Our trip was fantastic. Fortunately we had sunny weather and the views were breathtaking. Our guide, Robbie, did a great job guiding us and offering interesting facts.
Thank you for the review and happy you had a great day.

This was an incredible adventure. We had a first class tour, Ulrich was absolutely wonderful. He arrive at our apartment and met us there. We then took the train, gondola and cog train up the Jungfrau mountain. Stunning views in all directions. I booked the tour online from New Zealand, got email confirmation at the time. Everything went extremely well and smoothly, thank you. Trust the system 😀 We had a very memorable tour lunch at the top, a blizzard from Germany made a great back drop for lunch, and a warming congac. Thank you Ulrich, your are awesome. Dave, Karen and Paige 😀
