Was an absolutely amazing day. Had the best guides: Natalia, Yuxia and Adolfo!! They were quite accommodating and helpful. The entire trip was smooth and everything was planned carefully as to optimize the experience!! Would only recommend to maybe add an extra hour or at least 1/2 hour if possible at Jungfraujoch. It was a sunny day so we got to see and enjoy breathtaking views!! May want to check the weather before you make your bookings😄

It’s expensive but totally worth it if you don’t have time to explore. Very organized and you have 5 hour to explore with guide advice as to where to go. Love this tour!!! Especially the visit up to Harder Kulm is a must. Switzerland is expensive but it’s a must at least once in a lifetime 😍💕
