We had the best time on this trip. We often do tours and this has been by far the best one we have ever done - would 100% recommend booking this tour. The views are BREATHTAKING. We had a great time! Both the driver and tour guide were outstanding, not one complaint from us!

The train ride was something my sister had told me about while she was studying abroad in Europe. I am a person. That loves to experience new things and being from Colorado i have always wanted to visit the Swiss alps to see how they compare to our beautiful Rocky Mountains, as our Southern mountains are always considered to be the Swiss alps of America. The trip did not disappoint. It was along day but well worth it and absolutely beautiful from start to finish. Our tour guide, Silvia who is from Leppo, Italy, the first stop to get into a tour bus on the journey to the train. She was fantastic and felt like a friend at the end of the trip. If you have any reservations of doing the trip, do it! My wife did not want to join me but ended up having a wonderful time throughout the day! Highly recommend!
