    Amazing Jungfraujoch tour
    We had an amazing tour with Shelia from Interlaken to Jungfrau. She was early for pick up from our hotel and navigated us through the trains/route to get there. We didn’t have to worry about tickets/pass. It was a long day but so worth it! Amazing views with a lot of history and background given. I would highly recommend this!

    Website unclear - tour not running in April
    A little annoying that no where on the website makes clear that this tour is clearly not running in April - please update your website, we could have booked another tour had we known.

    Amazing tour!
    I highly recommend doing this tour. Personally, I really like learning and listening to history so usually I do walking tour if I go to new cities. I was very surprised because guides were super friendly and very informative. I have done several tours in Europe, but in my opinion, this is one of the best places to go walking tour. Amazing scenery, new friends and kind guides are probably going to make your day happy!!

    They didn't show!
    My husband and I signed up online for the free Interlaken walking tour. We waited 20 minutes with another couple at the starting point but no one ever came for us. Their website collected our email and phone number when we booked, but no one ever bothered to contact us and say the tour was late or cancelled. We tried calling their contact number but no one picked up. I was annoyed because we came back to Interlaken early from our day of sight seeing specifically for this tour. Waste of time. Very unprofessional and disappointing.

    Great free walking tour. Loved learning about the village flags, saw some ibex, and the man in the mountain. About 2 hours long. Don't forget to tip.

    A very enjoyable tour
    I love the free walking tours in every place I can get them around the world. This was no exception. Our guide knew his stuff, was friendly and helpful and we enjoyed a nice couple of hours learning much more about Interlaken than had we just walked around ourselves. Thanks team.

    INTERACTIVE AND FUN WALKING TOUR
    It was a nice walking tour, free of course, and conducted very well by our super young guide. He do have a good knowledge of the city, although I won't say its very deep to exite scholars!! But for the casual traveller its enough & he showed us all the important landmarks of this beautiful little town!

    A very informative trip with fun details about Interlaken (with some other cantons). Our guide did a great job keeping our spirits up since it was raining on and off. Definitely worth your time and highly recommend!

    Good tour
    Definitely recommended. We did the free tour -- you just have to tip the tour guide. Takes around 2 hours where you walk around this beautiful city. Very informative tour as well.
