Exceptional - Really a fantastic highlight of our Switzerland trip! Everything was perfect. Got a little altitude sickness but our guide told me to get chocolate and a coke and once outside I’d be fine. He was right. Our guide was so wonderful took amazing pictures. We had perfect weather to see everything. One thing , it is a long day and no eating on the bus and very little time to grab food. So prepare ahead for that. But I highly recommend this.

❤️ Jungfraujoch Top of Europe - DO THIS - From the moment I was picked up in Lake Lucerne this trio tops anything I could have imagined! My love for mountains multiplied on this trip. The scenic drive to Interlaken was breathtaking. Going up the mountains on a series of trains, walking through the Ice Palace was not only chilling but beautiful and then onward to the Sphinx Observatory. The views took my breathe away, literally and figuratively. Every direction. The views will be forever etched in my mind. On the way back down the mountain on the Eiger Express Gondola.
Thank you for this!

Beautiful Jungfraujoch - Our guide did a great job. Really enjoyed the different modes of transportation. The ice castle was awesome and the scenery was breathtaking. Would have liked an additional half hour to spend more time at attractions or shop at the Lindt store. Just felt a bit rushed.
