Top pf Europe, highlight of Bernese Oberland trip - This tour is the highlight of our 12day Switzerland vacation. A must tour to take if you don’t have much time to stay in the Bernese Oberland. It is worth the price for the number of places covered in the tour. I applaud our tour guide (Raymond) who is accommodating and is flexible. I lost my ticket and I felt so anxious that I have to pay the entire ticket again but Raymond had me stayed with him whenever we have to scan ticket to enter turnstiles. Raymond is also good in taking pictures and the view from where to snap one. We were picked up at Zurich and had to pass by at Lucerne for other passengers but I believe it was not that significant time to matter. If you are to choose tour to see top of Europe, I would highly recommend this. Don’t forget to bring bottle of water to keep you hydrated as altitude sickness is real especially when you go inside the glacier palace. Dress in layers as it could get cold or warm depending on your activities indoor and outdoor. We got lucky to have a very very clear and sunny weather. Hope you got lucky too!

Top of Europe! - Raymond made the trip so much fun! Unfortunately it was too foggy to get a good view from the top, but the views were incredible all the way up to that point. 10 start for Raymond!

Beatrice was amazing! Beautiful journey! - We traveled with Beatrice and had an absolutely amazing tour. Unfortunately it was extremely foggy so we had zero views on top. One would think it’s a waste but it wasn’t at all. The journey up to the top was incredible with beautiful views. This tour takes you slowly up via train which helps enormously with altitude sickness. Others go up via the gondola, however, that’s a quick transition up which makes it harder to adjust. We still got to take the Gondola down which was beautiful. Beatrice was one of the most amazing people we met on the trip. She was so helpful, fun, and checked in with everyone on the group. I would highly recommend even in non ideal conditions! It truly was about the journey and not the destination in this case but with a clear view it would have been even better.

Top of Europe - From the very start this tour was an incredible experience. It is a long day but broken up nicely with quick stops. The scenery on the journey is beautiful and the “top of Europe” did not disappoint. The highlight though was our guide, Raymond. He is personable, informative, and a great photographer.
