First of all - it was well organized with all the train connections. Tourguide did a great job. Then a visit to the Gornergrat is an absolute must for anyone in Zermatt. The view of the glacier chain and the Matterhorn is magnificent and unique.

We ended up being the only ones on the tour and it was absolutely amazing! Amil became one of our fast friends…we absolutely adored him! We got up to Zermatt and it was completely covered but during our spectacular lunch the summit completely cleared and we got the best photos! Definitely bring layers and fun to this tour!

Spending time in Europe has always been a dream of mine, and seeing Zermatt and the Matterhorn was top of the list!! Micheal, our guide, was the best! Knowledgeable, compassionate, humorous, and overall just a good person!! With a train delay, i didn't have time to store my luggage. Michael helped me find a locker and get my stuff stored away before the tour. With only three of us in the group, it was a relaxing, joyful experience!

Our guide, Domenico was a pleasure to spend the day with and very professional. He took care of all the travel details. He was also very knowledgeable of Switzerland and its history, which rendered the tour very informative. Seeing the Matterhorn in person was an unforgettable experience.

Our tour guide Enzo was so knowledgeable and interesting. We learned alot about Zermatt, the Matterhorn, the Alpine glaciers as well as Switzerland in general. He was considerate, interacting with everyone in a friendly playful manner. And it goes without saying that the scenery was amazing. An experience that needs to be in person because pictures do not do it justice. The icing on the cake was the gorgeous weather we had for the day of the tour. A wonderful day all round.

Remi is very informative and thoughtful! He really values his guests. Although we didn't see the Matterhorn clearly due to a cloudy day, it was well worth it. The views of the alps are amazing and that's what you pay for in Switzerland. Remi was outstanding and I hope future travelers have him as a guide!
Breathtaking views

Our personal guide Remi was very knowledgeable about the train system since he used to work in that field. We moved from train to train with ease. We got lucky with clear skies up in Matterhorn and then of course it changed to clouds. But it was beautiful. We just wished we had more time to explore the town of Zermatt Village and do some shopping. But we spent time up on Matterhorn where you feel like you are touching the clouds. It was a wonderful experience and full of beautiful sights along the journey.

This was the best guided tour we have ever taken. Our tour guide Faseel was top notch and showed us a great time. I wish we could hire him as our personal guide for every vacation we take in the future! The Alps were magnificent and the Matterhorn spectacular. The trains were nice and the overall experience was fantastic. If traveling to Switzerland, this is a must do day trip, and we would definitely use this company again.
