Wonderful view of the mountains!
Rain caused us to not want to go to Grindelwald so we went back to Interlakken and Carlos stayed with us and showed us that village!! He was great!

We had a wonderful day, and an excellent guide! 5 stars!
This is an excellent tour! Our guide, Mary, ensured we were catching the correct trains, and was flexible with our wishes. I traveled with my 82 year old mother who uses a cane, and Mary was very careful with us. Mary gave us personalized service. We had a private tour which allowed us to adjust our itinerary. We highly recommend this tour. Request Mary as she has a wealth of information about the area.

Top of Europe
We had an awesome time! The views were spectacular. Our guide Gina was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Highly recommend her! You’ll enjoy the waterfalls and the scenery. But most of all is the once in a lifetime experience to see the Top of Europe.

See the Alps by train
Very nice tour. It was fun to get to ride the trains while in Switzerland. Seeing the Alps was amazing. There was snow falling when we got there and eating lunch with a beautiful view of the mountains was a once in a lifetime experience.

Do NOT book tours with this operator or you risk losing your money.
Very poor instructions from operator. Operator instructs you to meet at train station at 9:30. That's it. Nothing more. Good luck. The operator does not tell you where to meet the guide at train station. (There is a meeting point at train station, but that is not where you find the guide....really?). Also the train leaves at 9:30, so if you are waiting at the train station meeting point, at 9:30, you will miss the tour. And lose $500, because of the horrible instructions. Also the operator replied that it was my fault because I did not reply to an e mail three weeks ago. But I looked at the e mail again, and there is no request for anything, and there is no information on where to meet the guide. I suspect many people miss these tours and lose their money, but its the operators fault for misleading meeting time and location. It's like he is trying to confuse you so that you miss the tour and he keeps your money. I also set up a cheese tasting with him the next day (bad idea, but the guide highly recommended it) and when I showed up on time at 5:15, he sent me a message that he would be there in 30-45 minutes (yeah sure....cancel!) I recommend that Viator cancel this operator. Do NOT book this tour or use this operator. On the other hand, based on my frantic last minute effort to get more detail on where to meet at the train station, I luckily connected with the tour guide Gina on the train platform just minutes before the train left. Gina was awesome and very understanding (not her fault). 5 stars for Gina the tour guide, zero stars for the operator and owner.

Lauterbrunnen, Jungfrau & Grindelwald Tour | From Basel: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Basel.
How much does Lauterbrunnen, Jungfrau & Grindelwald Tour | From Basel cost?
+
Prices start at $503 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Basel usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Lauterbrunnen, Jungfrau & Grindelwald Tour | From Basel take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Basel is not rushed.
Is Lauterbrunnen, Jungfrau & Grindelwald Tour | From Basel worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Basel, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Lauterbrunnen, Jungfrau & Grindelwald Tour | From Basel?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Lauterbrunnen, Jungfrau & Grindelwald Tour | From Basel suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lauterbrunnen, Jungfrau & Grindelwald Tour | From Basel?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Basel can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Basel and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lauterbrunnen, Jungfrau & Grindelwald Tour | From Basel start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Basel within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Basel?
+
On Outty we rank every Basel experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Alsace wine tour and medieval villages. Small group guided tour, Stories of Basel's Old Town, Basel : Private Custom Walking Tour With A Guide (Private Tour). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Basel?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Basel?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
