Outstanding Glacier Tour!

Denise_A, Mar 2026

What an amazing day! Laura was fantastic on the premium glacier tour! We are from Florida and we were hoping to see snow! Well Laura definitely came through with the snow request! She provided an experience we will never forget!

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you so much, Denise, for your kind review and especially for your infection enthusiasm throughout the day! I had so much fun with you and Chris and I hope to welcome you back to Switzerland one day!

Amazing Glacier Express tour with Laura!

Jose_E, Sep 2025

We had an amazing Glacier Express tour with Laura at Hello Switzerland Tours. Laura is one of the nicest, sweetest tour guides we’ve had who is so knowledgeable and super accommodating. Laura made sure that she tailored this private tour to our liking. We even had an amazing gourmet lunch at Desantis in a beautiful, cozy restaurant! So happy that I canceled a previous similar booking that would only serve you lunch inside the train. Going outside and seeing the city, getting some fresh air, and eating that sumptuous lunch was definitely a better experience than that other Glacier Express tour. I highly recommend upgrading to the Premium First Class train tickets as we mostly had the train cars to ourselves the entire time. Laura also gave us the time to take some great photos and even took our pics at some favorite spots. This was a wonderful experience to see the Swiss mountains, valleys, and alps and highly recommend Laura with Hello Switzerland Tours!!
