We loved our trip to Switzerland! The country is beautiful and the people are very welcoming. We visited Lucerne, Grindlewald, Zermatt, Zurich and Interlaken. Our travel was completely by public transportation, trains, boats and busses. The Swiss Travel Pass worked perfectly! We loved not having to stress about making a train at a certain time. My KimKim app worked perfectly also. We had every detail of our trip right at our fingertips and could send messages to our KimKim representative if we ran into a snag. Mathilde, our KimKim rep was a wonderful help in planning a perfect dream trip! Thank you Mathilde. One of our favorite things during the trip was the E-bike ride!! So fun and absolutely beautiful. Our guide, George from Czechoslovakia, was GREAT! This is our second KimKim trip and were planning another one for next year.
Hotel Reviews
Beautiful room. Very convenient to everything. Very walkable to most attractions and close the bridge.
Beautiful location. Great view of the mountains from the large room. Loved the patio. It was really expensive tho, the restaurant was sooo expensive and not that good honestly. The fondue was not something I would redo.
Beautiful historic hotel. The room was big and had nice furnishings. Really close to the amenities.
Weird room. Had a shower with glass walls that looked into the bedroom. Kinda like being on TV display for anyone in the bedroom or other parts of the room. The air conditioning did not work well. Nice to have coffee and tea available in the room. Had a nice area with a desk. It was quite a walk from the train station. We took a hotel van to the airport to avoid that walk again. We were not told the hotel "shuttle" would cost us $80, and were surprised to find that out at the airport by the driver who asked us to pay him.
Activity Reviews
Absolutely loved this adventure. It was perfect. Beautiful, fun and engaging. Our guide, George, was perfect.
This was a great tour! We really enjoyed the beautiful lake. The guides were fun and engaging. We were provided wetsuits to wear over our shorts. The water was COLD! It was September and perfect weather, but the water is fed from a glacier so.... At first I had no intention of getting in the water, but I am sooo glad I did. I mean, when are you giong to be able to do this again!
This was a beautiful train ride. The train car was comfortable and we could see everything well. We were happy to have the priority boarding tickets as there were lots of people clamoring to get the best seats. The train stopped along the way so you could get off and check things out then continue.
This is a MUST HAVE! Worked perfectly. We were able to get on any train, bus or boat with this pass. We only had to show our pass a few times. We took trains in Italy and had to be on time for the train we paid for. Very stressful. This Swiss Pass allowed for you to take whatever train fit your schedule. So if you missed one train, simply wait for the next one. It was GREAT to have the pass in our KimKim app. So convenient and easy. The trains are very punctual. We had one train that needed to have some kind of repair and we had to change trains only one time.
This was neat, but not a must-do. The little gondola was super cute and it was fun to be out there all by ourselves in the little thing. The fondue was just okay. Staff was slow to provide service.
Wow! What a view and to be INSIDE a glacier was amazing!
Super fun experience. We loved being the only ones on the tour. The guide was great and very knowledgeable local.
