An amazing adventure not to be missed!
bobolson42, October 2026
This was an absolutely fabulous excursion! We had “Kid” as our guide. He was entertaining and very enthusiastic. He used our devices to capture our adventures with a true professional result. It was like traveling with your own photographer. Highly recommend!
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Great Spot to see a Great View
CarlD380, October 2026
At the conclusion of our Switzerland tour, we decided to go on our own Jungfraujoch Mountain. Jurgfraujoch trip takes you to the highest train station in Switzerland. It was very busy and commercialized. But, it is worth it to go to the top and see the sites over the Alps. We took time to walk through the Ice Palace with the beautiful ice sculptures. There are other activites to see and do. Plus nice place to eat.

Beautiful destination, unacceptable guide
Angela_B, October 2026
Jungfraujoch itself was spectacular. Unfortunately, our guide, who introduced himself as “Kid,” seriously spoiled what should have been a wonderful day. He constantly rushed our small group, repeatedly spoke to guests in a rude and condescending tone (including repeatedly saying “Hellooo???” whenever he felt someone was moving too slowly or not complying with his commands) and provided very little actual explanation or meaningful guiding. The worst moment came when he became impatient with my 85-year-old father, abruptly snatched some maps out of his hands and threw them onto a seat. I had to intervene and tell him to calm down and treat people with respect. It is genuinely hard to understand how someone with such poor interpersonal skills and so little awareness of how he was treating guests could be working as a tour guide. The local operator was Hans Meier Tourist AG – Gray Line Zurich. The destination and itinerary were excellent; the guiding was not. If booking this tour, I would strongly recommend checking which guide you are getting in advance. Based on our experience, I would also seriously consider using a different operator. A magnificent destination deserves much better.
