Nestled along the shores of Lake Thun, Interlaken Castle - a historic fortress dating back to the 12th century - offers visitors a glimpse into medieval Swiss life amid alpine grandeur. Though partially in ruins, its well-preserved tower and museum reveal tales of nobility and regional defense, while nearby, the serene Monastery of St. Beatus Caves blends spiritual history with natural wonder.

An amazing 6-day journey through three countries! The pacing was just right, allowing us to enjoy both the bustling cities and the serene mountains. The guide’s knowledge of local history added so much depth to the trip. The buses were modern and equipped with USB charging. Booking was incredibly fast and easy on their platform.Highly recommended!

6-Day Swiss Capitals Vacation Package from Zurich: Bern, Geneva, Leysin, Interlaken, Lucerne | Hotel Breakfast Included | Ticket Admission Included

Beautiful Scenic Trip with budget

It was an amazing scenic trip. The main attraction is Glacier 3000 visit and lunch there. The entire trip was very beautiful and well managed. Daily 4-6 hour bus drive every day. Took all the destinations as per itinerary except to one because of traffic.

Spectacular Day

What a spectacular day at Jungfraujoch! The trip through the Eiger Express and cogwheel railway was seamless, and the attractions at the summit were impressive. The Ice Palace tunnels and Aletsch Glacier view were highlights. I finished the day with delicious Swiss chocolate from Lindt. Such a memorable experience!
