Great time - Our tour guide Kid was amazing!! We had lots of fun on this tour. If you want time to yourself just do Interlaken and Grindelwald. If you want more adventure you should go up to Jungfrau.

I KID you not!....Funny, irreverent, colourful and rememberable! and that's just the guide! - Long trip, but the coach is comfortable. Only disappointment, there was no wifi service! The Scenery is a massive draw, even on a cool/chilly day it was worth the time. The trip can be extended on the fly with the tour guide to include the train/cable car etc at Interlaken, which is a great standby option if you're not sure if you want to to the Full Monty. The bus driver (from Serbia) was very skilful! One of the highlights of the trip was the tour guide KID :) He was as eclectic as it comes and if you are easily offended, buckle up!! :) He was sooooooo funny!! I will always remember his RRRRRRRRRRolling r's as much as the scenery!, still laughing as I write this 10/10

The tour guide one Mr.Kid was very rude to us from the start of our journey. He took some of the passengers to Juanfraugh from Interlaken. We had no guide to show us around at both the places. We did not know what to look for. The driver just left us and told us to come back to the bus at a specific time. We felt so foolish not knowing what to look for. It was a waste of mo ey and our precious time. The guide took CHF 180 per person for the persons who went with him to Juanfraugh. They later joined us after our Grindelwald trip on our way back at Interlaken station. It wS a real bad experience. The guide left the group at 11.30am and joined at 5.30pm why i should be refunded.

Terrible! - This is a trip basically without a guide rather just renting a bus. The so called guide disappeared right after we arrived at the first stop and met us after we were on the way home. We were told nothing except where to be picked up. It would make more sense just ride a train there.
