This was a great value... - This was a great value for all included. Kid was our host. He did a great job of keeping a large group moving through as not to miss anything, even when they tried to do what they wanted. His interaction and photographer skills was much appreciated. He knew where the right spots were for the best shots.
The only issue I would mention is the description of the meeting place in Lucerne. The McDonald's is across the street from the Tourism office, but the bus pulls up around the corner. Kid was frustrated that we were not at the right location, but it was due to the instructions.

Stunning mountains, picturesque countryside, fairy tale Swiss villages and an expert, unforgettable tour guide. - Stunning scenery from the moment we left Lucerne until we reached the summit of Jungfrau, and then again all the way back. Our guide, Kid, was magnificent. He guided us through the various buses, trains, cog wheels, the site itself, and everything in between. He made sure we were aware of all of the picturesque locations and even took many pictures for us and of us. He did all this while being amazingly funny and energetic for the entire 8-9 hours. I cannot imaging being able to pull this off as successfully without his guidance. He is THE BEST.

Amazing Day on the “Top of Europe” - This tour was simply perfect! Our tour guide, Kid, knew every detail of the route up the mountain- he knew when we should take out our cameras and when we should hustle to make the next train without delay. The weather on the top of Yungfrau was perfect- the pictures do not do it justice!
Highly recommend this tour with Kid! You will not regret it! 🥰

I wasn't aware that we were going to be dropping off and picking up other people at various locations along the route. I think that's why I felt rushed.
