it was a wonderful trip to Grindelwald! we also did a sidetrip to Lauterbrunnen and Interlaken. It was such a fun trip. the bus we rode was great. the driver was skillful and safe (great job antonio!) and we had a very good tour guide in Robert (Henry Danger look alike) ( from the US hit tv show). He guided us through out the trip, giving is tips at even offering to take our picture from time to time. he managed the group with ease and confidence. shout out to Robert! we went to Switzerland July to August (summertime) the weather is nice, not too cold. we had a fun day!

This was a fantastic way to enjoy the sights of Grindelwald at your own pace. The experience begins with a scenic gondola ride from the village, taking you up to three different stops, each offering unique activities. At the summit, you’ll find a cliff walk with breathtaking views of the Alps—so high up, you’re nearly eye-level with the paragliders! There’s also a restaurant at the top with great food and solid service. The lower stops offer options like bike rentals and paragliding, so there’s plenty to do beyond just the views. A few helpful tips: 1. Buy your gondola ticket at the village kiosk—it’s cheaper than booking online. If you’re staying locally, ask your host for a guest card, which can save you up to 15%. 2. Book paragliding or biking in advance to secure your spot. 3. Go early in the morning to avoid crowds, especially if you plan to do multiple activities. 4. While you don’t need to be super athletic, you should be comfortable walking without assistance, especially for getting on and off the gondola and the cliff walk. Highly recommend this experience—it’s a stunning and flexible way to take in the beauty of Grindelwald.

The tour ran smoothly and our tour director (Bernadette) was exceptional in her communication and knowledge From the moment we departed, we were left mesmerized by the beauty of nature The First was definitely the highlight The chair lift is easy to find and enjoyable We had the famous cheese fondu at the restaurant at the top and it was tasty as expected We took the trotter bikes down the hill and that was spectacular. Felt like it was spending a slice of time in heaven

Beautiful country, happy cows, glacial water that looks amazing. The tour guide, Angela, was great. Very friendly and informative -tour in 2 languages! The day is very long. It’s a windy bus ride up a winding mountain road, bathrooms are scarce and a lot of tourist traps. We went on a rainy day and it was difficult. Don’t recommend to do jet lagged-better once you’ve adjusted. The tour was great, my timing was bad, and I wish I knew ahead of time that it’s a full 12 hour day.

The bus driver, Berta, was amazing! All those sharp turns make it challenging to drive a coach bus up there but the ride was quite smooth with no abrupt braking or stops! Fernando and Karen were also amazing! They did a great job with telling us about the towns and the lakes we passed. We could buy activities on top of what we had already paid, however it was not clearly explained that there may be a chance we would not be able to do the activities due to the long wait times. I had bought 2 activities but was only able to use 1

Mt. First is a must-see if you come to Switzerland. The bus ride was comfortable and the sites were well narrated along the way. The hosts were helpful and kind. The stop to Interlaken was very brief. I wish we had just spent that time on Mt. First. There is a lot to do there, so check the options so you willl have tickets for the other attractions when you arrive in case they are sold out. Bring sunscreen and water!
