The journey to “the top of Europe” will include the opportunity to take in the stunning view from Eismer Station, the second highest railway station in the world after the Jungfraujoch. Back on the train the sights only get better, as you reach an elevation of 3,466 metres approaching Jungfraujoch.

Our guide Jonas was very knowledgeable and we had a great time touring the Jungfrau region. We left from Bern. Tickets for the trains are included in the price of the tour, thus the higher price.

What a fantastic tour! Who knew there was a railway built inside a mountain in Switzerland? And that it was completed over a hundred years ago? We had an amazing day with our guide Jonas. He took care of all the train transfers getting to the top of the mountain and all the transfers getting back down and back to Bern using a different route. Such a relief to have someone knowledgeable make these time-sensitive reservations and be able to negotiate with the staff when things don’t go quite as planned. He also provided additional historical context from the perspective of a Swiss citizen about the trip, but also about life in Switzerland with his family. It was a very special day for my wife, son and myself.

I had an unforgettable experience on my Jungrau tour last year, and I owe much of it to my fantastic guide, Jonas. The journey, starting with the gondola ride in Grindelwald and progressing through trains and elevators to reach the toop of Europe-Jungfraujoch, was awe-inspiring. The panoramic view from the top, above the clouds, were breathtaking-especially with the blessing of great weather. Exploring the glacier and ice cave, enjoying the amenities like the restaurant and gift shop, added to the charm of Jungfraujoch. Jonas made the experience more enriching by sharing insights about the various viewpoints. The descent included a picturesque stop at Lauterbrunen for some memorable photo opprotunities. This full-day trip was made truly special by Jonas's expertise and the wealth of information he shared about Jungfrau and the surrounding areas. I am grateful for the memorable journey.

This is Greece’s most overlooked region. Alas. Just spent ten days here. Beautiful beaches. Interesting archeological sites. The most friendly and helpful people ever. If you are someone who likes discovering the undiscovered tourist places, Thrace is the place for you. Loved Thassos. Beautiful island and wonderful beaches. Archeological sites of Maronia and Zone for sure worth a visit.

I had the incredible opportunity to embark on this tour last April, and it was made even more memorable thanks to my exceptional guide, Jonas. His expertise and guidance made navigating the various modes of transportation to reach the TOP of EUROPE a seamless and enjoyable experience. We also visited Lauterbrunnen and it was stunning.
