We had a fantastic day trip with regards to this activity. Our guides Ping and Annette were great. They gave us good information before and during the activity and they were well organised. The time provided for each activity was sufficient. They ensured everything went according the planning. Will definitely recommend this activity. It was nice on behalf of Annette that she proposed to take pictures of each and every group who was present at some interesting locations.

I think this is a very well organized and well paced trip. The guide was very informative and cheerful. We had regular breaks for toilet use, snacks and Lunch. I have two comments: 1-It would be good to include a longer break for lunch as the day is very long. The restaurant in Jungfraujoch was closed and we just had a light snack which was disappointing. 2-It would also be nice to update the description that stops at interlaken and Lucerne are only short because I was under the impression that we would explore these areas more extensively. Also, there was mention of a Lauterbrunnen stop which we did not get to see. So, I think the highlight and main destination of this trip is actually Jungfraujoch only. 3- In the description, it would be helpful also to include to the audience to be well prepared with extra layers of clothing as it gets subzero up there and maintain good hydration because of the low oxygen as well. Overall, I would recommend this trip!
