I’d recommend this if you want the highlights of the city, but it doesn’t cover the Lion so see that on your own.”

Sunset hike in Wengen near Lauterbrunnen with traditional cheese fondue dinner, Swiss chocolates, and English guide, small group of 12.

“Weronika was one of the best guides we have ever had! We have been on countless guided tours but she keeps you engaged and gives so much great information about the region while on the hike and allows for places to take great pictures. At first we thought it may be a bit expensive but by the end we both agreed it was well worth it. The fondue was the best we had on our trip in Switzerland too! Do not hesitate to book this experience!”
