Glacier Express UNESCO views & St. Moritz 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.

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.
Loved the beautiful views!

5.00This ride takes you through portions of the same path. The glacier express takes. I mean it’s a train ride through the Alps. The Alps just have to sit there and they’re awesome. The views of the mountains of the villages and everything else are stunning. Special kudos to our guide, Victor, who provided an excellent summary of historical geographical and human context to compliment the many spectacular views along the journey. Strong recommend.
Once in a lifetime
