This was one of the best days I’ve ever had. Raymond made everything work just like butter it went on so smooth. I felt cared for and like my dad was taking me to the best place ever. What a wonderful day catching the bus was a highlight. The trains were amazing. Top of the mountain was wonderful. I wasn’t cold because I’d layered up and really enjoyed the ICE tunnel. Was worried about safety and slipping down there, but it was great and I thoroughly enjoyed the gondola ride down the guide. Raymond was so informative and hilarious and kept a good watch on all his flock. We never seem to wait for anything, it was very smooth, the way that he ran the day .

Our experience was amazing all around! It was roughly a two hour drive to where we were headed, but our guide made it seem so fast! Telling us where all the good views were and when they were coming up, we never missed a photo opportunity or an opportunity to just gawk at the beauty! Then when we got to the top, he took us to all the amazing spots and captured the moments for us with our cameras. Because we followed him, we missed the crazy lunch rushes. It was fabulously timed out and very well thought out. Our ride back was quick and quiet since it was dark and we were tired. Even our bus driver was fantastic! I normally get car sick on buses but not once did I on this trip. He was very accustomed to the roads and it showed in his driving skill!

The trip was great. Ken was super on top of getting us the best spots on the trains and gondola. He made sure we got a ton of the best pics. He is a little rough around the edges but it is for a reason. He really made sure we got our moneys worth. Totally recommend.

Amazing experience, this was a highlight of our trip, luckily there was a perfectly clear sky so the views were incredible. At the beginning it felt extremely rushed by the guide however it was important to be on time to catch each train going up the mountain. It takes a while to get used to Kidd the guide and his antics and wit, but he tries to make the experience the best for everyone.
