This was an unbelievable tour! Tony was so friendly & knowledgeable. He gave us so much information about all the mountains besides the Matterhorn. He even gave us a little tour of the town of Zermatt. He went over & beyond.
The entire day was wonderful. We met Michael at the meeting point and started with a mini city tour. All of his commentary was so interesting! Then headed to the gondola to start our tour of the Matterhorn. It was fantastic. Michael had wonderful facts and was an incredible guide. The advice to dress warm was perfect at the summit but the weather was great up to that point so dress in layers. Highly recommend!
Great way to learn a bit about Zermatt and the surrounding area while making your way to such a unique experience. Our guide Michael was great- accommodating, flexible, and very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend- be sure to bring warm clothes. No matter how hot it is in town, it is cold inside a glacier!
There about a 15-20 minute walk to the Lift you will take up into the mountains. Have something warm to wear when you reach the glacier. I would highly recommend this experience. Our guide, Michael was very friendly, considerate of any limitations we might have, and so informative.
The tour guide was absolutely wonderful. But I think this excursion was way overpriced. Buy your tickets in Zermatt. It would be less money.
My husband and I I truly enjoyed this tour with our guide Tony. He filled in for the original guide and did a great job. Despite the cold we both enjoyed it very much! He was very attentive to my needs as I travel with a mobility scooter. Unfortunately I couldn’t go into the glacier but my husband did and got great pix and he enjoyed his time with Tony as well.
The overall experience was excellent. The walk through Zermatt was beautiful and our guide gave great background on the town. We were lucky to have good weather with excellent views of the Matterhorn. Our guide, Michael, was very knowledgeable of the area and provided great insite. The Glacier Paradise was fantastic and fun experience.
Amazing experience seeing the glaciers and the view of all the surrounding mountainous ranges. Well - worth it - if you can only go one one, make it this one.
A STUNNING EXPERIENCE, WITH AN EXCELLENT GUIDE IN TONY IMOBERDORF, WHOSE KNOWLEDGE & GUIDANCE WAS UNREAL.A MUST DO EXPERIENCE FOR ALL VISITORS.
Beautiful scenery- amazing gondola ride. The observation deck on top is a must do. The glacier trip was interesting but the views take the prize
