1.Top of Europe Day Trip from Zurich

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,647 reviews · 11 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $380Our pick

“The views alll along the trip were amazing! It was a beautiful sunny day. Our guide, Kid, was fabulous. He kept us moving, helped everyone get the best pictures, ensured nobody was left behind, and he was entertaining. We loved Kid, he added so much to the experience. And he advised us to get food for lunch before we left Zürich, and to eat it on the cog train during the assent so as not to upset our stomachs. The views from both outside viewing areas were breathtaking. The walk through the glacier was fun and intriguing. The gondola ride on the way down was fantastic with the setting sun…”

3.Jungfraujoch Top of Europe Day Trip from Lucerne

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 840 reviews · 9 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $366

I recommend this guided 9.5-hour trip if you want Jungfraujoch without arranging several trains yourself. From Lucerne, you travel through Interlaken and Lauterbrunnen, ride the cogwheel railway beneath the Eiger, visit the Ice Palace and Sphinx Observatory, then descend by Eiger Express. Guides may include Kid, Hans, or Raymond.

“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.”
