    The private tour of the Glacier Express Swiss Alps and Lucerne Tour was very well organized. Jean our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We loved the beauty of the Swiss Alps train ride . During our Lucerne tour, rain caused some alternations in the itinerary but again Jean included our group in this discussion.

  • Great way to see the Alps

    This is a walking/train tour. We had a brilliant guide Jean who took the time to share his knowledge. Personally I would not do it again as there are too many trains.
