Fantastic 5.0
I had an absolutely amazing paragliding experience in Interlaken today at 4 PM! My pilot, Nico, was incredible – so friendly, informative, and professional from the very start. He explained everything clearly, which made me feel completely safe and comfortable, and his calm, trustworthy manner really put me at ease before takeoff. The flight itself was breathtaking – soaring over the stunning scenery was unforgettable. Nico even added a bit of a rollercoaster twist towards the end, which was so much fun and made the experience even more thrilling! This was truly one of the best experiences of my life. If you’re in Interlaken and thinking about paragliding, I cannot recommend it enough – and if you get Nico as your pilot, you’re in for a fantastic time!

it was without a doubt an amazing experience! we booked on klook the day before because we wanted to see the weather forecast. it was a bit cloudy but we proceed with the activity with no issues. I had Matthias as my pilot. I was a bit nervous so he explained everything and put my mind at ease and he listened to my request to not do any crazy tricks. it was a 11/10. would definitely recommend them 👍

Itinerary started with visiting Lauterbrunnen first then Grindelwald and Interlaken later in the evening. Every location had enoigh time to cover the areas. 1hr 45 mins at Lauterbrunnen, 3 hrs at Grindelwald and 1.30hrs at Interlaken. Excellent tour guide (Robert)and the coach was neat. Only feedback to Best of Switzerland Tours AG is, in Grindelwald since most opt for the cable car up the mountain, you can stop the coach for people disembark there instead of making them walk 2km to the Cable car terminal. I understand it is scenic, but aged people who wanted to take the cable car couldnt due to the long walk. Else i definitely recommend this agency who does everything perfectly on time. No delays.

I would like to highlight Isa for her professionalism, friendly, caring spirits towards the team. Isa is a Chinese English speaking tour guide. A great tour guide I ever met so far. I truly understand that taking care for the whole team is not easy, but with her experiences and the approachable attitudes, she wins my heart. You will understand better with her wide knowledges about the Switzerland and the mountains. If you have a opportunity please do not forget about to appoint Isa as your tour leader. Long story short, this package is worthy !

No need to worry about transfer problems. The tour leader was also very patient in explaining everything. The mountain train was also arranged well, with a special queue for group tickets, so you don't have to queue up yourself. The only drawback is that the time spent on the mountain is too short, only one hour. And there were a lot of people that day. After queuing to take pictures, there was no time left to slowly enjoy the scenery. It is recommended to gather a little earlier so that you can spend more time on the mountain.

Lucerne completely stole my heart! ❤️ The city was so charming with its stunning lake views, picturesque bridges, and beautiful old town streets. Everything felt peaceful yet full of life. An absolutely unforgettable stop in Switzerland — I’d go back in a heartbeat! 🇨🇭✨
