This is a completely overpriced trip, with Viator using a local company to provide the guides. Apparently the two don't talk and any problem that occurs, they point fingers at each other. Anyone can easily book the same trip for 1/3 to 1/4 the price. Trains run easily and regularly from Zurich to Chur and then add the Glacier Express train from Chur to Brig. The guide only makes sure you get to the right trains and they are easy to do. Plus our reservation clearly had included lunch on the Glacier Express train and we had to pay extra and neither Viator or the local company providing the service would accept responsibility.

The meeting information they sent to us the day before the trip was wrong…it said to go to the train station tourist office and meet that morning…. After waiting there and getting very concerned, I called the hotel we were staying at to ask their advice, and they said the guide was at the hotel looking for us! If I had not called the hotel we would have missed the entire thing and we would probably have lost our $1099 ! The Tour operator never answered their phone all morning while I was trying to call. They blamed the issue on Viator. Our itinerary said in writing that lunch on the train was included… again the tour operator said it was not. and again blamed Viator , so we were out another $125 for an average lunch with lousy service. Lesson learned … don’t book through Viator, do your research and book your own trains and save hundreds!
