5.00When advertised as small group I had no idea that meant only 4 people. That made the excursion very enjoyable. Our guide Remi was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout our journey. He had so much personal knowledge and experiences around the Matterhorn and Zermatt he could answer any question. Remi was able to guide us through skipping long lines and pointing out point of interest. He walked us at a comfortable pace understanding that I was not accustomed to the high altitude. Remi also helped me select the best train to take back to my home base in Switzerland
