Fantasic Private Walking Tour and Gornergrat Train with views of the Old Zermatt, Matterhorn and Glaciers! - We had a wonderful time on our walking tour and gonergrat train! Our guide was so interesting and shared a lot of tips with us for our stay. I would recommend this tour to anyone and our tour was private and so much more of an experience than with a group!

All areas were easily accessible on... - <p>All areas were easily accessible on your own. Tour guide provided minimal further info and left earlier as almost nothing to say in Zermatt itself. Very expensive tour with no benefit. Would not suggest this AT ALL.</p>
