Ride the Eiger Express to Jungfraujoch from Zurich, with Interlaken, the Ice Palace, Sphinx views, and practical advice on cost and altitude.
“It was a fantastic experience all around. While it’s a very long day from Zurich, the experience was totally worth it. The bus was comfortable and the tour guide informative. The road is a bit windy in parts as you snake your way through the mountains. A brief stop in Interlaken is enough to walk down main street and get a coffee. The cable car and train ride were well organised and fun, and there is plenty of time at the top of Jungfraujoch to do everything, have a shop and have lunch (although the food is VERY expensive). The tour company ran things very well, making it an easy…”
Ride gondolas, hike Mt Pilatus, explore Lucerne, and cruise Lake Lucerne on a scenic day trip from Zurich with practical tips.
“We had a wonderful experience on our day trip to Mt Pilatus and Lucerne. Our tour guide, Adolfo, was exceptional—very knowledgeable, organised, and always accommodating. His friendly nature and willingness to help made the day run smoothly and added a personal touch to the journey. We also want to highlight Ernesto, our bus driver, who was very professional throughout the trip. His safe and smooth driving made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. The views from Mt Pilatus were absolutely stunning and truly unforgettable. Although the tour did not include a lake cruise (something we were aware of beforehand), the meal voucher provided was a thoughtful and pleasant…”

Review of the Zurich to Interlaken and Grindelwald day trip, with scenic coach travel, free time, costs, guide concerns, and Mt. First tips.
“This is not a tour nor an experience, it’s pretty much transportation. It would be nice to be told that you’re going to be sharing transportation with another group that’s doing a more expensive and fancier tour to the top of the highest peak in Europe. The Tour Guide left with that Group at the first stop and we were alone with the driver. The second stop, again we were on our own and we had to pay for additional activities, which is fine but for the price, I wouldn’t expect at least a bottle of water.”
Review of Zurich’s Black Forest and Rhine Falls day trip, with Titisee, cuckoo clocks, scenic coach travel, costs, timing, and practical tips.
“Fantastic trip from beginning to end! Our driver, Dario and our tour guide, Beatrice both made our trip entertaining and packed full of interesting and fun facts of the entire area! We had a private tour about the history and craftsmanship of cuRead more”
Ride Mount Rigi’s cable car and cogwheel train, cruise Lake Lucerne, and explore Lucerne independently on this full-day trip from Zurich.
“The drive through the country side was beautiful, the scenery up Mt Rigi of the surrounding mountain rangers and lakes made you appreciate nature. The cable car and cobble wheel train added to the experience. The views from the lake ferry top the day off”
Review of the Zurich to Lucerne and Engelberg day trip, with Alpine views, free time, cheese tasting, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“A rather long & somewhat boring day trip. Not enough time in Lucerne, and too much in Engelberg ( understand why , because of squeezing two tours together, both Engelberg & Mt Titilus ) with preferential treatment to the latter. Tour guide was way too opinionated and gave a constant running commentary on her political ideologies. Bus driver could not communicate in English . All in all a lot of money for not a whole lot in return . It’s rather nervy of them to charge €2 for water , when it should be complimentary.”
Review of a private Zurich day trip to Mürren, Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald and alpine lakes, with cable cars, custom stops and raclette lunch.
“We greatly enjoyed this excursion! While we didn’t have much time in Switzerland during our vacation, this was a must-do for our family. Our guide Christina was very friendly, informative, and provided an A+ experience throughout the trip. We highly recommend this day trip to anyone else looking to see the incredible scenery in Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen, Mürren, and Isetwald.”
Review of Zurich’s Appenzell Alps day trip, with farm milk, Appenzeller cheese, Hoher Kasten views, village time, costs, and tips.
“Awesome tour. Martin was excellent as driver and guide. Loved every aspect of the tour. Particularly enjoyed the Dsiry farm and hearing the passion of the farmer. Views from the mountain and meal at the revolving restaurant (extra optional of own) was fantastic.”
Review of Zurich’s Lucerne and Mount Stanserhorn day trip, with the vintage funicular, open-top CabriO cable car, costs, timing, and tips.
“This experience exceeded my expectations! I traveled alone and loved being with a small group. We were given a perfect amount of time to explore Lucerne on our own and our travel guide did an excellent job of keeping the group moving along in a timely manner. The views from the top of the mountain were incredible.”
Review of a private Zurich day tour to Lake Lucerne, Uri, Klausenpass, waterfalls, cheese country, and Läderach chocolate.
“Elia was our fantastic tour guide today. I cannot say enough how wonderful everything was! The spots we visited on this ‘Insider’ tour were jaw-dropping to say the least. And Elia maneuvered the winding hills and tight spaces like a pro. Thank you Elia for all the nice ‘touches’ you provided and for creating an unforgettable memory!”
