Our departure was Zurich and took us 2hrs to get to the destination. We went to Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald and Interlaken. This tour is ideal for active people, who walks a lot. The tour would need you to walk on inclined paths. Not ideal for people with difficulty in walking. We did the cliff walk at Grindelwald First(an option with additional fee of 70 CHF per person), however there were fog and the mountains were not visible. Ideal for a day trip/short trip to Switzerland but still want to see/experience the beauty of the mountains and make the most out of their Switzerland trip. Overall, our tour was very nice, peaceful and refreshing. Our guide is very patient and really explained clearly the areas while our driver really took care of us and drove safely. It was a good experience and I would recommend this to young people who are up for adventure.

The Swiss Museum of Transport is honestly one of the most impressive museums I’ve visited. The place is massive and incredibly comprehensive from vintage cable cars and historic trains to boats, classic cars, and even space rockets, the collection is absolutely fascinating.
What makes the experience even better is how interactive everything is. There are hands-on exhibits throughout the museum, which keeps the visit engaging and fun instead of feeling like you’re just walking past displays. The entire museum is also very well organized, with explanations available in multiple languages. I ended up spending almost four and a half hours here without even realizing how quickly time passed. That alone says a lot about how immersive the experience is. The only downside is that both the entrance ticket and the cafeteria food are a little pricey, but overall it’s absolutely worth visiting if you’re in Switzerland.

Although it was a packed itinerary, the stunning scenery made it completely worthwhile. Our tour guide, Lars, was exceptional; he maintained excellent time management and provided practical tips that allowed us to experience the very best of Grindelwald and Mount First. The landscapes were breathtaking. Additionally, our driver, Victoria, navigated the roads with great skill. The coach was incredibly comfortable, allowing us to sit back and truly enjoy the beautiful views along the way."

We have an awesome tour in Switzerland. At the beginning of the tour, we have decided to upgrade our interlaken tour into the top of Europe. The guide, Kid (Thai) was attentive to us and very generous. Sadly he is not to others, and may think that he is rude. We enjoyed his company when he starts to crack jokes with us. He taught us to use our camera settings to get the best view of the tour. He is knowledgable on the best photo shoot and even uploads our video with him dancing. He make sure that each guests will enjoy the view and tour.

What to know before visiting Lucerne
Quick snapshot of Lucerne and what to expect
Lucerne draws most bookings for cruises, guided tours, museums and cable-car trips, with outdoor activities also represented. Demand on Klook has a strong seasonal rhythm—it builds through summer into a clear peak around September and eases off toward the winter trough in February.
Best times to visit for crowds and prices
Klook booking data show the busiest month is September, while February is the quietest. Prices trend separately from demand: they climb after summer and reach their highest point in December, while Klook prices are typically lowest in June. For lower prices and smaller crowds aim for June or the quieter late-winter months; for lively, peak-season atmosphere choose September or October when demand is highest even though prices are higher than in summer.
Tips for travellers from Hong Kong
Most travellers from Hong Kong book about four days in advance on Klook, with many last-minute bookings possible a day before travel and some early planners booking around a month ahead. If you prefer flexibility, many experiences in Lucerne can be secured close to your trip, but during the September peak it pays to plan a few days ahead; use Klook to compare available cruise, tour and cable-car options and lock in what suits your schedule.
