Review of the 12-hour Zurich day trip to Grindelwald, Interlaken, and Lauterbrunnen, with practical tips on timing, value, and optional Alps activities.

“It is a very long day but also a good day. My only one gripe is the tour company thats organised with need to say wherever you are sitting now, this is your seat for the day as there were fights amongst passengers over this and took people too long to take a seat. Was very childish like behaviour.”

Review of the Mt Rigi and Lucerne day trip from Zurich, with cable car, cogwheel train, Lake Lucerne boat ride, free time, and practical tips.

“This is a nice tour & the process to do it is worth it. Cable car, train & especially the boat trip are worth every penny. Lucerne is a beautiful must visit place but more touristic than expected. Find the right train was easy cause of the departures board next to the statıon. Find the bus at the end was a bit stressful and we made it last minute. Also i would like to inform that there is not much to do at Rigi Mountain & the written guidelines for some suggested things to do were leaving us make circles over the mountain & the only possible way to follow…”

Review of Geneva’s Montreux day trip with Chaplin’s World, Lavaux vineyards, Chillon Castle, Lake Geneva cruise, and Queen sights.

“This may not be for everyone...I have been to this region 5 times and on similar tours, so I know the area and history well. This particular tour had pros and cons... It was a very small group of 10-11 in a great panarama view bus. Guide was friendly and brought a nice wine and cheese picnic. There was a nice amount of time to spend at all locations and pace was laid back and relaxing. This was not a guided tour at all. The driver did not say one word about the history of locations or sites. We were totally on our own. Not really much time for lunch,…”
