This tour was combined with another tour that went to Grinwald and I think logistically way too complex. The bus had to shuttle back and forth picking up and letting off people and wasting a lot of time. The bus itself had no air circulation and it made it difficult to breathe. Even on the Jungfraujoch part of the trip we had more than 50 people and only two guides, and moving that amount of people all over the location in a coordinated fashion takes a lot of time and energy and was tiring and tedious. I think the experience would have been better with a smaller group and more freedom to explore on one’s own.
