Stunning Views

3.00San Moritz offered some beautiful views. My family and I also enjoyed our meal on the train in and the small cafe we visited with stunning views. We came to San Moritz on the off season which meant everything was closed and not much was going on which was unfortunate which is something we wish we had known. Our tour guide Salma was on her first tour, but she did a great job showing us around and telling us some facts about the area while allowing us to have some time on our own as a family. It is a good tour to take if you if you enjoy photography as the area lends itself to gorgeous photos.
Great Guide

4.00Salma was excellent handling all the logistics of our day to St Moritz. Great views and pictures. She took many of our family. Unfortunately offseason and 90 percent of the town and shops were closed. Salma made it a fun day anyway. 😁
Nice tour, but could easily do this on your own

4.00There was not a lot of tour guiding as it is mostly sitting on the train for six hours. They do have overall good reviews but not very many -but our guide Lincoln was very knowledgeable and friendly and professional so I will give him five stars but for the tour overall I think it's lacking. There are long periods of time where you're looking out the windows at the beautiful Swiss Alps, but this really seems like something you could do on your own. You could just get a train ticket to Chur and then get on the glacier express and then if you wanted a little tour of Saint Moritz, you could get one so if you wanted to save some money, I think this is definitely something that you wouldn't necessarily need to tour guide for. If you're the kind of person who doesn't wanna have to think that this might be an option for you compared to other more detailed tours I've had I don't think I would do this again.
Good experience overall...

3.00Good experience overall except for the fact that our guide was late and our group of five women were anxiously waiting at the meeting point.
Only Glacier express route not that train

3.00It’s not exactly Glacier Express train but local train tickets you get. It’s same route as Glacier express though. You might be able to buy train tickets directly and go for much cheaper prices. St Moritz is beautiful but no snow as seen in photos. Just be aware of that if you are going April through the summer months..
VERY GOOD TOUR

5.00Meeting location was easy to find and a perfect location to catch the train. Our tour guide, Rocky, was friendly and very informative. My wife and I plus another couple were the only ones on the tour which made it very easy to communicate with our guide. It was almost like a private tour. Rocky also provided us best locations to take photos. Very enjoyable tour.

5.00Victor was an excellent tour guide. He provided amazing details about the history of the various cantons we travelled through. I would highly recommend him for future tours.

1.00You should give detailed meeting instructions , i was there 45mins before dept, I couldn't find the group leader, no flag, no sign nothing and I've lost $584aud. I came all the way from Australia to do the Glacier Express so disappointing, and I'm a pensioner.
