a lot of money for a little trip

ChrisW_L, Dec 2025

we got confused and did not go on the actual Glacier express which was are mistake. If we had know about the train system we could have planned this trip by are self's and saved a bunch of money. I wanted souvenirs from the Gracier train and did not get them. My sure you do your research before yo sign up for a trip.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Hi Chris, I am sorry to hear that you and Margie were disappointed with this aspect of the experience. I would like to clarify for future travelers that this tour does not use the official Glacier Express train, which is by design. As outlined in the listing, it follows the exact same UNESCO listed route using Switzerland’s world-class SBB rail network, which allows for flexible timing, lunch stops, and time in mountain villages along the way. Despite your negative review, I enjoyed spending the day with you both and wish you many wonderful travels ahead. All my best, Laura
