We enjoyed the trains, cog wheel and views. The bus didn’t have the air conditioning risking so it was uncomfortable for a bit. We would have loved another 30 minutes in interlaken. Overall everything was good.

We saw snow, but no view from the top of the alps; nothing our guide could do about that. Overall, excellent trip and the guides were wonderful.

This trip was worth every penny. My husband and I had the most amazing day. Our guide Annette had everything well organized and the driver Carlos did a great job too. They projected cloudy weather, but we lucked out and had sunny views for quite some time. The stop in Interlaken was nice, but Jungfraujoch took our breath away. Really cool black birds at the top of the sphinx also. We had lunch in the restaurant there and the food was good too (fondue, beef, pork, or vegetarian options) with beautiful views. It didn’t feel like as long a drive to get there as people said either. I highly recommend seeing this. A highlight of our trip.
