Visit the incredible Top of Europe!

Beautiful scenery traveling across central Switzerland via trains and cable car, to the highest point accessible by public transportation in all of Europe. We had a wonderful day, perfect weather and a wonderful guide, Eddie- who went out of his way to ensure we had the most wonderful day! The views from atop Jungfraujoch were incredible! We also spent time going through the ice caves and walking on a real glacier!

Easy Informative and Scenic!

The whole experience was fantastic and it was so easy- all tickets were purchased in advance by the company and the route was determined by the company as well. We did not have to worry about anything all day- Ulrich kept us on track and took care of it all. He also taught us everything we wanted to know about Switzerland. Views were fantastic.

Memorable Top of Europe Tour

Our family enjoyed a private tour to Jungfraujoch with Abraham. He was very friendly and helped us navigate the various trains and cable car to the Top of Europe. The scenery was breathtaking! Abraham was very prompt and ensured we made all of our connecting trains. We only had a couple of days in Switzerland but we were so glad we went on this tour. Abraham made sure that we went early to avoid the clouds that rolled in at the Top. We would highly recommend this tour!
