Itinerary
Your guide will meet you at the train station, before whisking you away to Lauterbrunnen.
With the accompaniment of an expert guide, this three-part Alpine adventure tour will commence with a tranquil rail journey through the Swiss mountains to the blissful town of Lauterbrunnen, nestled in between the Swiss Alps and enveloped by unspoiled lush valleys. While wandering through the idyllic village, our guide will unveil the area's extensive history, including the first evidence of the municipality's existence in 1240. Here, you will encounter the magical Staubbach Falls. In this fairytale landscape, a 297m (974ft) tall, never-ending cascade of glacier waterfalls from an overhanging cliff — this visit poses an excellent opportunity to capture the waterfall’s natural spectacle on camera! During this stop, our guide will recount the chronicles of Staubbach Falls's past, enabling you to gain exclusive insight into its history and cultural impacts, including the tale of how its magnificence inspired Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's poem "Gesang der Geister über den Wassern” in 1779.
The tour will continue with a scenic trip to Kleine Scheidegg, a regal mountain pass surrounded by theatrical glacier landscapes. Amidst the journey, you’ll pass through Wengen, a serene ski village that offers panoramic views of the region’s UNESCO World Heritage Site. During this moment, the guide will share the area’s abundant history, enabling you to discover tales of its development during the 19th century. Reaching Kleine Scheidegg, there will be a rare opportunity to take in the surrounding mountain peaks, including the Jungfrau, Monch, and Eiger. Our guide's compelling commentary will accompany astonishing Alpine views. They will share the remarkable history behind each peak and detail interesting facts about the neighboring Jungfrau Railway, which reaches the top of Europe.
The final exploration will commence in Grindelwald's charming main town, which is surrounded by the Bernese Alps. Throughout the discovery, the guide will trace back the multifaceted history and cultural heritage of the region. From the discovery of Neolithic tools and Roman coins to the town’s surge in winter tourism during the late 1800s, Grindelwald weaves an intricate tapestry of past happenings that have played a pivotal role in shaping the town into the popular destination it is today.
After a full day of adventure, your guide will return you safely to Interlaken.

Loved our guide! Giovanna was LOVELY! 🥰 she was personable and very friendly. We enjoyed our tour even though the tour changed at the last minute she managed to show us a LOT of the best places in the Swiss alps. 🇨🇭💗🐄
Very pleasent trip with a guide so friendly and kindly like COCO. A great guide. Very well
Our guide was not very informative and did not manage well. Overall not worth the money. Beautiful place, visit on your own
There was some confusion about the meeting point. The bus was coming from another location, so there wasn’t anyone to greet us and there was no signage.
The guide did not turn up or tell us the tour was cancelled. Very unprofessional. This ruined our visit to Interlaken as the reason we went there was to.go on the tour to Jungfrau.
It was disappointing—a scam and a rip-off; don't waste your money. It’s misleading: it says "Jungfraujoch" but doesn't actually go there—it only goes as far as Kleine Scheidegg—yet they charge as if you were going all the way up. We reached the other areas but only spent 10 minutes there; don't advertise "Jungfraujoch" when that isn't the case.
Beautiful sites and Salma was a lovely tour guide. The cost of the tour however seemed quite expensive for what it was which is why I gave it 4 stars.
Great experience to see all 3 major sites. Our tour guide was Salma and she was fabulous! We ended up having a private tour with her.
Carlos was a fantastic guide. He gave us so much information about this beautiful area & so much history. This was a remarkable tour & we will always remember this because of Carlos!
Marie, our tour guide was informative during the touring and very helpful during the transportation sections of the excursion. Her enthusiasm made the day enjoyable. However, the Jungfrau portion of the tour was oversold. While we had some very good views of the mountain, we did not go on it as we had hoped. This should be made clearer in the excursion description.
Excellent tour offered by Lincoln. Lincoln is very helpful and knowable I highly recommend Lincoln
Very good experience. Lincoln is an exceptional guide. Made our trip most comfortable and memorable. Bed wishes for him

Amazing day. Transport was very easy since my host was familiar with all the train changes. Very friendly and informed about all the culture and intricacies of the villages and towns we visited. Enjoyed a lovely lunch (Cheese fondue) at one of the towns. Has great suggestions for gifts, souvenirs and most importantly; chocolate. A great day, and a wonderful way to see some of Switzerland in a day. Would book again.
Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable! We all enjoyed the tour and we had enough time to explore at each location including time for souvenir shopping without feeling rushed.
Seamless experience exploring the Swiss alps, got to see all of the sights without having to worry about which train to board, where to get off, and just got to enjoy the sights
It was a really nice experience. We recommend to our friends.
Very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. Highly recommended!!!
Exceptionally poor service - booked day before, got confirmation email and ticket confirming date, time, and location. Took train to meeting point, arrived 10:30am, got email from operator at 10:33am saying tour was the next day despite what all the documentation and app stated. Wasted time, effort and money. Nothing but poor excuses. Would NOT recommend.
Leighton was an amazing tour guide! He was very accommodating, helpful, and fun. All the sights were absolutely stunning. Definitely recommend
Leighton was an amazing guide. He went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. It made the day perfect! We saw some beautiful towns and scenery. Highly recommend!
Leighton was the best tour guide we could’ve asked for!!!!!! We had an absolute blast exploring the various parts of Switzerland. Thank you for an amazing day!
