5.00We were looking for a scenic train ride experience starting from Zurich and this choice was the right one. We had a great tour! Panoramic train is not from Zurich, is starting from Lucerne and goes until Interlaken. We liked the fact that tour was easy paced and at the end of the day we were back in Zurich. Scenery was just amazing!!
