Trains, Old towns and Nature - We were looking for a scenic train ride experience starting from Zurich and this choice was the right one. We had a great tour! Panoramic train is not from Zurich, is starting from Lucerne and goes until Interlaken. We liked the fact that tour was easy paced and at the end of the day we were back in Zurich. Scenery was just amazing!!

Good views, good company and good guide - Panoramic train ride from Lucerne to Interlaken was gorgeous. We started from Zurich on a normal train but the views there still nice and the commentary of the guided gave us a lot of information that we wouldn't know on our own.
We were a small group and enjoyed the interactions within the group very much. Would repeat it any day!

Unforgettable views and a great day trip - A fantastic day trip from Zurich! The panoramic train ride was the highlight, with breathtaking alpine views. Lucerne and Interlaken are beautiful towns and gave us a great taste of Swiss culture and mountain scenery. The tour was well organized, comfortable, and perfect for making the most of one day. Definitely worth it.
