Excellent Private Tour
I took this tour August 2025 with Christoff. He was very knowledgeable guide who took a lot of time explaining where we were going, what I was seeing ,and knew what side of the train to sit on to see the best views! I had a fabulous day exploring amazing places and am looking forward to going back to Switzerland.
