We enjoyed the whole trip, and had a great tour guidance. Watching the hills with the snow so close was very impressive.

We took the Glacier Express from Andermatt to Saint Moritz and returned the next day to Andermatt. We left the car in Andermatt. The car park to use overnight is located underneath the Radisson Hotel. Walking time from the car park to the train station is about 5 mins. Not far at all. For the Glacier Express you need to reserve in advance and seats go quickly. You will need to pay for the reservation and then buy a separate train ticket as well. We bought the train tickets at the station.
The Glacier Express arrived perfectly on time and we found our seats without trouble whilst being welcomed aboard by the train manager. We travelled in First Class and the seats were very comfortable and the space available was good. Arrangement of the seats is 2:1 across the train.
The views are absolutely amazing from top to bottom (windows at an angle in the top of the train) which meant we could see the mountains, the villages, the ravines, the snow capped mountains in August! The second day we woke up to fresh snow on the mountain tops which was amazing, especially as it was the start of August.
The speed of the train in such that you can easily see the magnificent sights of Switzerland and take photos as you go without missing anything. The Glacier Express staff aboard the train, on the platforms and in the ticket office were all extremely polite and welcoming throughout.

This is a completely overpriced trip, with Viator using a local company to provide the guides. Apparently the two don't talk and any problem that occurs, they point fingers at each other. Anyone can easily book the same trip for 1/3 to 1/4 the price. Trains run easily and regularly from Zurich to Chur and then add the Glacier Express train from Chur to Brig. The guide only makes sure you get to the right trains and they are easy to do. Plus our reservation clearly had included lunch on the Glacier Express train and we had to pay extra and neither Viator or the local company providing the service would accept responsibility.

The meeting information they sent to us the day before the trip was wrong…it said to go to the train station tourist office and meet that morning…. After waiting there and getting very concerned, I called the hotel we were staying at to ask their advice, and they said the guide was at the hotel looking for us! If I had not called the hotel we would have missed the entire thing and we would probably have lost our $1099 !
The Tour operator never answered their phone all morning while I was trying to call. They blamed the issue on Viator. Our itinerary said in writing that lunch on the train was included… again the tour operator said it was not. and again blamed Viator , so we were out another $125 for an average lunch with lousy service.
Lesson learned … don’t book through Viator, do your research and book your own trains and save hundreds!

Nothing it was boring 4 hours of seeing the same thing. Our guide was fantastic but the tour itself is boring. Lunch was part of the package but it was never provided we paid almost two thousand for a party of four for a plain train ride. We sent an inquiry as to why the full package was never provided but to date we have not received any justification to the cost of the tour

This tour is not at all as described on the tour site. We expected a breezy day through the country side with a guide that would accentuate the experience. The train made several stops throughout the day to allow for other trains to pass (one shared track) on several stops it was in dark tunnels. Not exactly an opportunity to see the sites. Our guide, although a very sweet man, fell asleep during the tour. Our takeaway...too expensive, not what expected and we would not recommend. I would recommend downloading the SBB train app and routing your own tour between your destinations. The trains are much less expensive (even for 1st class) the sites are as good or better than what we saw on the Glacier Tour.

It was a wounder full journey in a wounder full sunny day through a spectacular pass. Our English speaking guide Michel was very good and professional. He was very much on time and explained the various flora and faunna of the regions nicely. Would recommend to make this trip to everybody who loves to see the scenic beauty and remoteness of Swiss Alps

If you need help seeing the Swiss Alps via the Glacier Express then absolutely book Swiss Travel Guide. Its tour manager Mike von Aesch is the BEST! So informative and so helpful!!
