    The Glacier Express was not as advertised. Several places in the description indicated "first class" but no first class tickets/seats were included. We were told that we each had to pay an extra $250 US to have the experience we thought we had already purchased. This was added to the approximately $550 US per person we already paid. The other members of our group also had the same understanding from the description on Viator. When our guide contacted her office regarding this discrepancy, she was told that it was Viator's mistake (not the tour company). The tour itself was disappointing due to poor visibility, but that's no human's fault. The tour guide, Anna, was a delight!!! Such a good resource of information and hospitality. Buyer beware.

  • Fabulous tour! DO IT!

    The tour on the Glacier Express and Lindt Chocolate is a definite must do. I hope you get Ana Cruz as your tour guide. Bright, vivacious and knowledgeable, she was fabulous. She explained everything! Gave tidbits of information about life in Switzerland and her own experiences there. Her exuberance is contagious. We went to Lucerne, Andermatt, Oberalp Pass and Chur. My husband and I loved everything about this tour, including the other couple who we were fortunate enough to get along with. (It could have made for a very different tour if we felt otherwise!) Do not hesitate to book this tour! It was amazing!
