    The tour operator re-scheduled my paid ticket for this tour 16hrs prior to the start of the tour. I told the tour operator which is "Tours of Switzerland" that I cannot re-sched the tour as my schedule is fixed. I contact them through our hotel reception telephone and I was able to talk to the head guy of the tour operator named Jonas and told me that he cannot do anything about it. I paid 2person that costs me USD1,287 and what I get is that they just send me the tiket for the glacier express ride "only" without guide aa indicated in the itinerary, and "Jonas promised me that the Lucerne tour will proceed but no reply from him. We just ride thw glacier express DIY. I should've just booked the ticket by myself. I regret booking this tour feom viator and from that tour operator named "Tours of switzerland" very poor communication between viator and the tour operator. Its not worth it.

    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.
