Tour that makes it easy to stop in the towns by the lake, to visit and to take the boat back a little later. The flight attendants are welcoming regardless of the company. The tour easily allows us making stops in the lake cities so you can visit and take another boat 1 or 2 hours later. Staff is welcoming whatever the company.

It was a smooth ride. However the details need to clearer that one needs to board twice in a day for covering both lakes and respective timings. I had to call the get ur guide team to seek clarity.

The tour operator was very well behaved and very kind. He guided us as to what to avoid and what to go for in our short trip to interlaken

The most beautiful view of the blue water, charming cities, mountains on both lake & cheers to making friends on our boat!

Amazing and fantastic view, it was the best I've seen ever.
