Our family of 4 (all adults) were fortunate enough to have our own private tour with guide Chris Warren. He was wonderful. A retired school teacher, he was so personable, patient, and knowledgeable. We highly recommend you request him if possible! He does other tours as well, and we wish we had more time to book other tours with him.
Transport is via bus and train and can be very busy during peak periods. Our guide Michael was very knowledgeable and provided key advice as to what to see and do.
Tour in a small group was great to get information about the area not found in guidebooks was very informative and extremely enjoyable pace. Unique experience with a great tour guide
Had a wonderful tour with Roland. He’s very knowledgeable about the area and showed us so much! We had a group of four, plus Roland. It was the perfect size.
April in the Alps means variable weather! We started the day in Lauterbrunnen under low clouds that stayed with us on our high speed gondola ride to Murren. Fortunately, after about an hour, the clouds broke and we were treated to magnificent views of the mountains. This is the very end of the ski season and no shops were open. We were able to enjoy lunch on a terrance with a view. The cog-wheel tram was not yet open so we took a leisurely walk down hill to the "old" gondola. We made an impromptu stop at Trummelbach Falls - highly recommend. FYI - with only my husband and I it turned out to be a private tour. Our guide was very good, but I forgot to write down his name! I've included his photo.
Roland was on time and very nice! He showed us the best spots for pictures! Took us to a great lunch place! Would highly recommend! The day turned out to be a beautiful day!!
Highly recommend this tour! Loved the small group attention. Our guide, Alex was excellent and taught us so much about what we were viewing as well as Swiss culture. The scenery from Murren was unforgettable. Definitely recommend this tour.
We had such a great morning and afternoon exploring Launterbrunnen and Mürren! The scenery is incredible and our tour guide Christoph did such a great job teaching us things about Switzerland!
It was a good experience seeing Murren and Lauterbrunnen. Our guide Roland was great. Thank you for a wonderful day.
This was a very interesting tour to the highest village in Switzerland. The guides were very knowledgeable and were very helpful for making this a memorable experience.
