Incredible tour to Schilthorn
We had an amazing day visiting Schilthorn, Murren and Grimmenwald with our guide Payam. We were picked up from our hotel with no problem. It was a beautiful drive from Lucerne to Schilthorn. Our guide was very engaging and informative. Upon arrival we took a cable car up the mountain. We were met with the most amazing views! Payam took us to all the best locations and took all our photographs for us. We spent plenty of time on the mountain before taking another cable car to the mountain village of Murren. This was a super cool village to walk around and have lunch. After this we departed for Grimmelwald. This was a beautiful village and we learned aboutvfarming and cheesemaking. Overall this was a perfect day where we saw amazing sights and very much enjoyed our guided tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you, Linnet, for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that Payam made your visit to Schilthorn, Mürren, and Gimmelwald such a memorable experience with his local knowledge, engaging guidance, and thoughtful assistance throughout the day. We look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable journey through Switzerland. The AlpExcursion Switzerland Team

The best day!
Our private tour with Phillipe from Lucerne to Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen was absolutely fantastic! We stopped at a few stops on the way to soak in the views on our way up. Phillipe was an engaging, kind and vein guide with interesting stories! He had fun facts about various areas of Switzerland and has a great sense of humor. He gave us great tips on where to go and made sure we explored both places fully. Our family was very comfortable conversing with him and we all loved his Swiss German accent and deep pride for his country. We hope to go back someday and take another excursion with him and this amazing company. I highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Dear Lisa, Thank you so much for your kind review! We're delighted to hear that you had a great tour with Phillipe. It's amazing that you enjoyed every aspect of the trip. We hope to welcome you again on another wonderful journey soon! Best regards, Customer Support / AlpExcursion.com

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Guided Adventure Trip to Grindelwald First: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zurich.
How much does Private Guided Adventure Trip to Grindelwald First cost?
+
Prices start at $1920 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zurich usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Guided Adventure Trip to Grindelwald First 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 Zurich is not rushed.
Is Private Guided Adventure Trip to Grindelwald First worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Zurich, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Guided Adventure Trip to Grindelwald First?
+
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 Private Guided Adventure Trip to Grindelwald First 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 Private Guided Adventure Trip to Grindelwald First?
+
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 Zurich 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 Zurich and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Guided Adventure Trip to Grindelwald First 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 Zurich 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 Zurich?
+
On Outty we rank every Zurich experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Zurich Food Tour with 10 Local Delicacies, Cheeses & Chocolates, Private, excellent guided tour of Zurich (from CHF 21/pers.), Zürich Historic District 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 Zurich?
+
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 Zurich?
+
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.
