Our guide was fabulous!... - Our guide was fabulous! The tour from Zurich requires you to utilize 3-4 different trains and our guide made it easy and flawless. It is a long day so be prepared. However, the views are spectacular. Once in a lifetime experience! Take time to enjoy once you arrive. We had an amazing lunch in the full service restaurant while enjoying fondu and the unforgettable views. It is a tourist destination so be prepared for a crowd.
