  The Escorted Grand Rail Tour of Switzerland by Echo Rails was fantastic. The communication by the staff was good, with Zoom meetings prior to departure, and Apps during the tour to keep us informed. Staying in each hotel for two nights was perfect. The size of our group was also great, allowing us to form good relationships with each other and our guide, Walter. Walter was very observant and his ability to adapt to different situations (train delays, extreme weather, and different member abilities) allowed us to experience everything on the itinerary without feeling rushed. He also had great suggestions for lunch. I will definitely consider touring with Echo Rails again in the future.

  We did the 9 day Grand Rail Tour with Walter as our guide. Echo Rails/My Mountains provides an excellent itinerary to visit many of Switzerland's highlights with the use of trains and other forms of transportation. There were many details that made this trip easy and more enjoyable as we didn't have to worry about them - 2 nights in the same hotel, breakfasts and dinners included and luggage transfer. The small size of the group was great and Walter was good natured, efficient, adaptable and knowledgeable. There was time to explore on our own and we were able to do the level of activity that was comfortable for us. It is a somewhat fast paced tour but well worth it if you are in good physical condition. The hotels and food provided were all very good. Before booking we spoke with Loredana in the US who answered all the questions we had and was extremely prompt with email replies. We appreciated the pre-trip video calls that were offered as the owner and staff provided a wealth of information and answered all questions. Itinerary details and documents were provided prior to the trip and the owner even met with us in Switzerland prior to our departure on this adventure. I highly recommend this trip and wish we could have done the 13 day one.

  Echo Rails did a fantastic job of introducing me to fabulous Switzerland. On my first visit there I got to see many of the countries' highlights. Our guide, Lou, was superior and deserves the highest rating for having kept our tour organized and informed about all of our activities. Having a great guide made all the difference in getting the most out of a relatively short visit. In addition, the company was great in assisting me in extending my visit on my own, making reservations and giving advice.

  Our trip was absolutely delightful. The group was small, the itinerary was planned to perfection, and the sites we visited were amazing. Lou, our guide was so knowledgeable and friendly. She was always in the best disposition to help make our trip memorable. She had very interesting facts and stories to share that made the trip even more enjoyable.

• 9-Day Rail Tour of Switzerland with Echo Rails

  Our tour is not well described in your selections available. It was the 9-day train/boat/cog rail/venicular/Gondola, etc. of Switzerland. I can't imagine having a better tour guide. Lou Stone was a wealth of knowledge and always very aware of group needs/dynamics. Everything ran like "clockwork" which is very appropriate approach for a tour of Switzerland. Lou is a priceless treasure for you company. The logistics of luggage and planned trip by the Echo Rails staff was phenomenal. Our luggage was delivered and picked up in a timely manner. Can't really offer any suggestions when you have already acheived perfection! Fair winds and following seas...

  We recently completed the 9-day Echo Rails tour of Switzerland, and it was exceptional from start to finish. The tour support was top-notch; being able to travel between trains without hauling luggage was absolutely priceless. Even when we faced a train delay out of Zermatt, the support team seamlessly coordinated alternative routes with our guide so we wouldn't miss our final group dinner. The accommodations and included meals were all of very high quality. Be prepared for a moderately active itinerary, as we averaged between 8,000 and 16,000 steps a day. Our guide, Lou, was truly amazing. As an experienced mountaineer, she shared fascinating stories during our excursions and was incredibly knowledgeable, always finding the answers to our questions. She went out of her way to cater to all 9 people in our group and even helped me find perfect photography spots—including a breathtaking reflection of the Matterhorn on a mountain lake. Highly recommended!

  It’s was truly a different experience with multiple modes of transport with an exceptionally thoughtful and knowledgeable guide by the name of Lou Stone. The only downside was the heat but we had hardly any rain which meant fabulous views of the mountains!! It is definitely an active tour which requires a certain degree of mobility. Kudus to Lou for being sensitive to our groups’ needs.
