During a short stay in Zurich we took a two hour city tour with headphone commentary (due to the virus there we no tour guides available). For us, at two hours the tour was just about the right length and the commentary was interesting and informative with a narrative that extended to both the city and national relevance. A word about the driver - he was friendly and just about the best bus/ coach driver I have ever experienced. He navigated the often narrow streets and turnings superbly and was courteous to other drivers and pedestrians. Whilst we thought this was quite an expensive tour, (most things in Zurich are quite expensive), we did very much enjoy it and would certainly recommend it.....

Visited in 2008 and it was great. Went in 2019 and hardly recognise the inside due to Bond world exhibition. I am a big OHMSS fan ,hence why i visited in 2008 but walking round now is hardly recognisable inside apart from staircase and some parts of the restaurant. This is my personal opinion. If you have never visited before then you will not know the difference, It will still be worth a visit. I shall not return.

Interlaken is a must visit small resort town between two lakes - Lake Thun and Lake Brienz. There are many trekking, hiking and skiing trails. A walk or cycling along the lake is highly recommended. From the view point of sight seeing 1-2 days are more than sufficient if the idea is stay in the town only. Most of the activities are open in summer though. There is mountain (view point) Harder Kulm with a restaurant and a complete panoramic view of the town; it can be reached via a cable car. Lake cruise is a must that allows getting down on small islands on the itinerary.

Recently I had to cancel our train trip through Italy and Switzerland. I was able to obtain a refund on all the Italian train fares but no changes or refunds are permitted by Swiss rail. Swiss train fares are very high by world standards and while I appreciate the terms are non refundable, Swiss rail gives you no opportunity to purchase a refundable/changeable pass. Take care when purchasing a Swiss rail pass as plans can change.

This tour was a fantastic experience. Amazing view at the waterfalls and over the valley. The guide George was a very nice person with a lot of experience and knowledge about the city Interlaken, the place Lauterbrunnen and other nearby places and activities. Also the included picnic was delicious. It is worth the money!
