Quality
This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities. -

Upon arrival, take note of the wooden chalets and numerous sculptures dotted throughout the village paying homage to Brienz's longstanding woodcarving traditions. And what better way to become familiar with this longstanding tradition than on a visit to the Trauffer woodcarving factory, known for their handcrafted wooden toys and souvenirs - most notably their red-spotted cow. Following lunch at the factory, you're off to Ballenberg, an open-air museum displaying traditional buildings and architecture from across Switzerland. Home to over 100 original buildings, some of the buildings you'll see today still operate, and will provide you with demonstrations of traditional techniques including cheesemaking and rural craft making. Return to Brienz for free time, before returning to your hotel. Tonight, dinner is on your own.
