Classic Glacier Express in Winter

Kay Margiotta
5 stars
“The glacier express was an amazing journey through the alps. The scenery is stunning can't put it in to words. While on the train it started snowing heavily it looked like a winter wonderland. The train is very comfortable and we had dinner on the train which was lovely and the service was good. A great experience I won't forget

“The experience was very good but the main food courses and waitress service in the 4* hotel was not what we expected. Katie Leigh our tour guide made up for that disappointment.

“The rail tour was an excellent experience and the tour manager we had was very good at making sure we knew exactly what we were doing every day and managing any small issues that arose. The hotel accommodation and food on the whole did not match the quality of the rail journeys.
