Having a guide to keep us on train schedules and connections for a quick day trip to Zermatt was key to a successful trip. was very knowledgeable with the surroundings and history of groups in Switzerland. Never a dull moment with the stories and awesome scenery along the way. Was very fortunate to have blue skies in January and provided wonderful pictures and memories to last a lifetime.

Our guide Christa Goneli was excellent. Far exceeded all expectations. Extremely informative and we felt we met a new best friend. The excursion very enjoyable. Money well spent. Highly recommend this excursion and the guide!

The view was spectacular. The only thing I did not like was the train went up at 8.30am but the Zoom attraction was not open till 11.30am so we missed it.

The tour is magnificent, the landscapes are breathtaking. However, the cost is very high!

Best view of the Matterhorn. Chilling on the sun terrace on the Gornetgrat is priceless!
