    A wonderful day

    The tour was wonderful!! The sights we were shown were so beautiful and breathtaking. But, what we are talking about today is our guide Petra. We miss her. She's a fabulous guide and an even better person. Please send Petra a thank you note from us.

    Epic trip to see the Matterhorn

    KristineReuss, Nov 2025
    What an amazing trip to see the Matterhorn. We had beautiful weather and the scenery was breathtaking. Our guide, Juliana, was wonderful and helped us easily navigate the multiple train transfers. She was very knowledgeable about the region and helped us locate the perfect photo ops, and recommended an excellent Italian restaurant for lunch. Juliana was the perfect guide for our epic adventure!

    Checking off a bucket list

    It is a long day but so worth it. The Matterhorn and the area around it is so amazing. The pictures don’t do it justice. The train ride to the Alps was good. The windows on the train are very large so you can enjoy the countryside. Our guide was great. He gave us lots of great information and showed us so much. He was so patient as we were two elderly ladies and needed to rest some and walk slow. It was well worth the money.
