A Soul Soothing Experience
We really hate to leave this spectacularly beautiful country! The trip exceeded our expectations.We were a group of 8 wonderful people from 4 different states in the U.S. We couldn’t have asked for a more compatible group.Our tour guide Joana Lisa is hard working, very knowledgeable about her homeland and shared many insights. She kept us on time with great communication and much humor. We are grateful she was assigned to our tour.

Breathtaking
New York City
Grand Rail Tour of Switzerland
SilverTravZ, Sep 2026
Breathtaking
Stunning visuals of multiple soaring mountains. For rail enthusiasts travel by diesel train, electric train. cogwheel, cable, and funicular. Cruise beautiful Lake Lucerne on a classic vessel. Walk on the wooden bridge. Negatives? The service on the Golden Pass line was not up to what I expected. Also, both the train curving into the side of a mountain while crossing an arched bridge and the circular curve on an arched bridge as seen in many photos are NOT on the Golden Pass line, but on the Bernina Express. Though both of these are on the Bernina, the half-day dash from St Moritz to Tirano for lunch and back would be time better spent in St Moritz sailing, shopping or hang gliding. Street signs are sparse in many towns. Got up one morning, looked out the hotel window, there in front of me was the Matterhorn. That was a WOW. Now, personal fitness, this is not 100% a train ride, this is not climbing to the mountain tops, but it does involve some hiking and some viewing from chalets way above the treeline. In our group, one participant, who was not in good shape, required oxygen from the nurse stationed in one of those chalets and it was suggested to be on your way down within 20 minutes. Personally, I recorded an average of 3.4 miles of hiking/walking each day for a period of 9 days. If you cannot do 2.5 miles a day for 9 straight days on your local groomed walking path, you may have difficulty on the cobblestone streets and walking paths, some of which are fairly steep. Break in your shoes before the trip. Overall, day after day of once-in-a-lifetime views.

I can’t speak highly enough of this tour. Chris was wonderful and we saw things in our single day that easily would have taken us 2-3 days by ourselves. Switzerland is absolutely beautiful and Chris made our experience that much more incredible. Don’t hesitate when thinking about booking a day with Chris.

Mount Titlis Half-Day Trip from Lucerne
Jeff_U, Sep 2026
Great Experience
Well worth the extra cost, but don't expect the tour guide to add much. Meeting point was confusing as it was across the street in the bus parking lot and not at the Google map location. Make sure you check ahead of time the weather and that all the activities are open the day you are going before you book. Best to pay last minute and cancel if you need to.

We had an amazing experience on the Jungfraujoch guided tour from Lucerne! The whole day was very well organised, and our guide 'kid' was the best! He was funny friendly, knowledgeable and helpful throughout the trip. He also took some great photos!The journey through the beautiful Swiss countryside and up to the Top of Europe was absolutely breathtaking. The views of the snow-covered Alps were incredible and truly unforgettable. ❄️🏔️Everything was smooth and stress-free, and having a guide made the experience even more enjoyable. Definitely one of the highlights of our Switzerland trip!Highly recommended for anyone visiting Lucerne and wanting to experience Jungfraujoch.
