Incredible experience at the Top of Europe - This is one of those experiences that is a little bit of hard workb and is not cheap, but worth every effort and every dollar.
Pros:
Best tour I've ever done.
The tour company and guide were top notch (thanks Raymond). The Meier tour company were flexible when we needed to change dates due to illness, and the guide very knowledgeable and friendly.
The views, the views and the views...I don't know how you can see such beauty across Switzerland in just one day. Truly a winter paradise!
The awesome engineering of the trains and gondola in the mountains are incredible. Jungfrau jock is something else!
Cons:
It is expensive in Swiss francs, but... Everything here is expensive. Just book it and forget what you paid.
It is a very long day. You'll definitely fall asleep on the bus home. Be prepared for this.
The itinerary is a little bit rushed. I don't think there is any avoiding it, when you're cramming this much activity into 1 day from Zurich. There is down time on the trains etc, but moving between them is a little frenetic at times.
Apparently the experience can be quite weather dependant... We were very fortunate on our trip though.

Overwhelming experience. Top of Europe a real treat! - I have heard so much about this experience but nothing could prepare us for the reality on the day. Xia was the most phenomenal guide. Under her care we experienced the best the excursion had to offer. We were blessed with perfevt weather. Xia had lots of valuable and interesting information. Timed to perfection we fitted everything promised into the day.
The services all ran exactly to time and Xia kept us on track throughout. Experiencing her love of the place was a treat too. Mark (our driver) kept us safe and got us back within the 11:00 hours. What a phenomenal way to experience this exceptional spot. Thank you Xia!

Great experience at Jungfraujoh - Amazing views, very well organised and the guide Raimundo was great.
Just one little thing : the time was to short at the top of Jungfraujoh - 2 hours for adapting to the height, eating and drinking and seeing everything is too short (just the tour to see everything lasts 1,5 hour)

Well worth it - well worth the price. AN all day event with luxury bus ride to Interlaken, then another short bus ride to the cogwheel train to start us up the mountain. Guide was very knowledgeable and gave excellent commentary. Beautiful scenery and breathtaking views of the snowy mountains. the Jungfraujoch observatory was an engineering work of art. Enough time spent observing the site and an exhilarating ride down on a cable car. Relaxing bus ride back to Zurich after a full 11 hr day. We would highly recommend this.

Great Place, Terrible Company - First off Id like to say that the actual location of Jungfrau was majestic and worth every penny, but the reason im giving a 1 star review is because of the tour operator. The entire tour was rushed, we only had 5 minutes in some stops where we could even barely use the bathroom. We were told that we would have two hours+ at the jungfrau peak but when we got there we qere told to be back in an hour and 40 minutes. The walking part of jungfrau takes an hour in a half, so how were we supposed to grab lunch and go to the gift shop? The guide - hanz - took us to a cable car and told us to wait in front of a shop, he forgot 6 of us and went to the coach bus without us! We had to call the company for him to come back and get us. Absolutely ridiculous. I wouldnt recommend the company whatsoever, there are better tour guides out there and its very clear these people do not enjoy what they do. I would absolutely recommend going to Jungfrau, but literally do it with anyone else.
