Fantastic 5.0
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 Rhine Falls are magnificent and well worth a visit; the optional boat tour for CHF 12 is also an exceptional value! We had enough time to view the Rhine Falls from both lower and upper vantage points, but we were a bit pressed for time at Laufen Castle, which was unfortunate. The medieval town of Stein am Rhein is also very beautiful, with quite unique painted facades and half-timbered houses; there is a free museum in town that thoroughly showcases the traditional lifestyle of the locals. Unfortunately, since it was Saturday, most of the shops in town were already closed when we arrived. Our tour guide Matthew was fantastic. His explanations were very clear, providing detailed introductions to the human geography and historical background of both Zurich and the local area. He was humorous, and his English was very standard, clear, and easy to understand. The driver's skills were also excellent, making the entire trip very comfortable and smooth.

It was a good morning tour. Not much people yet, so we were the first ones there. Was able to get a lot of pictures. You can have the option to ride the boat but we prefer to just roam around instead. This is also good for people with difficulty in walking since they have a lift to go down the platform near the waterfalls. Not bad as well for the price since it also includes admission to the waterfalls, and museum.
