This efficient one-hour walking tour hits Interlaken’s essential sights and back streets at a brisk, no-nonsense pace. For about $75, smart local guides share insider knowledge while leading small groups (max 8 people) past landmarks like the Yash Chopra Statue and through less-touristy neighborhoods. I love how the guides adjust the route based on group interests, making each tour unique. While steps and uneven terrain make it unsuitable for wheelchairs, the intimate group size allows for good interaction and photo stops.
