Colin picked us up at our hotel and along the way gave us stories and history and local wine knowledge before stopping at our first winery. Ultimately, we visited three wineries, two medieval towns, and a nice little Alsatian restaurant for lunch. The wines were all wonderful, and the company as well. Highly recommend!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 41 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $427

Review of the 10-hour Jungfraujoch tour from Lucerne, with Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen, scenic rail rides, glacier views, and practical tips.

“Travel to Jungfraujoch was very pleasant experience. Whole area is so beautiful that you get lost in it. Itinerary talked about lot more hours than what we got. Under "What to expect" section it says 1 hour for Grinderwald, 4 hours for Jungfraujoch and 2 hours for Lauterbrunnen. There is no way we received anywhere close to these hours. These hours were the reason why we decided to book this tour. We could have just done the tour ourselves by buying tickets directly and spent more time at every location.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 34 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $951

Review of a private Glacier Express day trip from Zurich, with Alpine views, lunch, guide, village stops, costs, and practical advice.

“The highlight of our time in Switzerland. Our guide, Dominique, was super fun and extremely knowledgable. She knew the answer to every question we asked and we really enjoyed our time with her. Although it's possible and pretty easy to do the trip without a guide, I would really recommend booking a guide. It removes all of the stress and allows you to learn a lot more about Switzerland than you would without one. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone that has a free day in Switzerland! The Swiss Alps are amazing, and the meal on the train was delicious.”
