5.00The tour guide took us on a 4 hour train ride to Zermat and the Matterhorn. The scenery was fantastic but as we looked around the friendly guide explained what we were looking at as well as history of the area. He answered all our questions and was a pleasure to be with. Then the Matterhorn was fantastic!

5.00after our cruise we wanted to see something different than waterways and we saw this iconic Matterhorn. It was really worth the money we spend and a full day of sights. Tour was well organized with all the train rides through the mountains and to the viewpoint. Had some time in Zermatt before returning to Basel. Our guide Emil did a great job and was very informative.
