Swiss Rail   , NSW, Australia, May 2025

The accomodation and meals provided generally good with the hotel at Zermatt top of the class.

Simply Magical Switzerland   , VIC, Australia, Apr 2025
Our train trip through Switzerland was amazing!! We saw beautiful scenery and lovely little villages, as well as staying in beautiful towns like Lucerne for example. The tour had only 31 people on board so mainly Australians, but UK, NZ and Singapore people as well. The tour guide was good with all the train information as we travelled on regional ...read more trains as well as the Glacier Express, the Bernina Express and the cog railway to the Matterthorn. These trains are so comfortable and have big windows so the views were spectacular. Our hotels were all easy walks from the train stations and all very good and comfortable. We had enough free time to be able to explore the towns as well as do any excursions if you wanted to. I would recommend this tour for something a bit different from the castles, cathedrals & palaces I've seen in other parts of Europe.
