Zermatt hidden gems
Nice walking tour through the city of Zermatt. Lots of interesting information that we not have known otherwise. Very nice tour guide- soft spoken so at times hard to hear him.

Only 1 hour not 2 ! Expensive for an hour
Alex was knowledgeable, friendly guy. The tour ended after only an hour. As Zermatt is small perhaps this was all the time that was needed. The price we paid was too high for a 1 hour tour.

Amazing Zermatt guide/walking tour!
I am so pleased that we had the opportunity for this small group walking tour in Zermatt with our guide Remi! We scheduled it for the morning of our first full day in Zermatt and it worked out so well that we had already seen a little bit of the area the previous afternoon when we arrived. I can’t say enough about how friendly, knowledgeable, snd highly professional Remi was. We learned so much about the area…history, culture, food, architecture, mountain activities, etc. He shared stories and photos as we walked and was so engaging and personable! As it ended up, it was just my husband and I in the small group so the tour was very intimate which made the tour extra meaningul and enjoyable. A bargain by any standard! Remi is a native of the area so he knew lots of local lore and his conversation with us as we strolled thru Zermatt really made the town come alive for us. We would never have discovered on our own many of the people and places he discussed. Remi was absolutely delightful and we highly recommend him and Viator! Thank you, Remi!
