1. Don't stay in Interlaken, but go beyond to one of the mountain villages. We have a strong preference for M�rren. See http://www.twenj.com/bovisit2.htm 2. Consider skipping the car and getting Swiss Passes. You'll not find a lot of uses for the car in the mountains or on Interlaken's lakes. To the contrary, you will, I hope, be spending lots of time (and money) on trains, cables and boats ... all covered by the Swiss Pass. (Which doesn't fully cover the last legs of mountaintop excursions, but does get you a good discount on them.) See http://www.twenj.com/swissrail.htm

Really no need for tours in the area at all. Getting around and enjoying all that is there is really quite simple.
