If you’re looking for a day trip from Zurich to Zermatt, I really recommend this trip! Our local guide was super nice, friendly, calm, and kind. We got to ride on the train and cogwheel to get to the top of the mountain. It was super beautiful once we started riding the cogwheel to get to the top. The village was super cute too. It’s a perfect one day trip indeed!

We enjoyed our day but didn’t feel the small group experience justified the very high price tag. The area is lovely and fun to explore. Our guide was very nice.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
There were 2 guests on that day - this is really a small group and you did not feel the small group tag? What else you expected?
The price comes, that you travel across whole Switzerland in one day and get to one of the most expensive areas in Switzerland: Zermatt

Had a beautiful day with our guide Ani.
Such a pleasure being around and very knowledgeable about the area. Was better being in a small group as it takes time to get there and becomes more personal. Ani looks after her guests like family doesn’t leave anyone behind. Amazing day!!!!!!

Thank you for your review and hope to see you in Switzerland again on one of our tours!

We had an excellent day with Uli. He met us on time and promptly got us on our way. Uli helped us navigate the train changes and shared information with us on some of the sites along the way. Once we got up to the Matterhorn viewing area is was patient and encouraging as we waited for the stubborn clouds to clear to get the best view. When we returned to Zermatt he guided us to some of the best shops and shared some of the history of Zermatt with us.
It was a great tour and a great way to see truly breathtaking views!

Thank you Julie for your feedback, which I'll forward to our tourguide.

Enjoyed the train adventure, 8 minute train changes
were intimidating to new riders. Liked the cog wheel train. Sadly we were unable to see the Matterhorn due to fog/snow. Guide Roman was informative, personable and we enjoyed great conversatons.

Fantastic Day trip ! Fast paced and full of sights … we enjoyed our day and found a spot we’d love to come in the future for hiking. The weather was perfect and the views pristine. Eric was very knowledge and we enjoyed his company. Recommend!
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Thank you for the review. You crossed half Switzerland in one day - we know the pace is rough but worth the views to the Matterhorn.
Happy you had a great day.

Loved the many trains we took which enabled me to see the courntryside. It was a clear day so could see the Matterhorn. The ZOOM presentation was good to see the Matterhorn at different seasons.
