A beautiful region with interesting history, geography, agriculture and vegetation to see up close as you hike through. Of course, weather plays its part! Logistics were taken care of, and map instructions were detailed, and 90% accurate.
This tour was Awesome. We got to see so much in so little time. Totally worth it. Our tour leader Kev was amazing. He really made this tour one for the books. Our driver Joachim had some skilled driving going on.
The tour covers a lot in quite a short time. So, as you can guess, the pace is a quite fast and there is a decent amount of time spent on the bus in transit. That said, there is a perfect amount of time to do what you want to do, albeit with a little prior planning. There is a great combination of tour lead time and free time. The bus journey's aren't bad, ours was comfy enough to sleep, and the tour leader (Steve) was a font of knowledge when it came to the local history. Top tips: Bring motion sickness tablets for the ferry crossings. Bring a neck pillow for sleeping on the bus. Bring ear plugs or headphones, they help with sleeping too. Be aware of the time of year and the crowds already in the locations (we travelled at Christmas time). And to close out, the highlight of the tour was definitely the Jungfraujoch experience (well worth the optional extra fee). Not going to spoil it, you will have to go and find out for yourself.
