Assemble at the airport and depart
for Zurich, financial metropolis of
Switzerland.
Upon your arrival, embark on an
orientation tour of Lucerne. Visit the
Old Chapel Bridge – the oldest
wooden bridge in Switzerland, Old
Town Lucerne with its unspoiled buildings covered with colourful
murals and the Lion Monument. Then,
make your way to the Glacier Garden
Museum, where you will travel back in
time to get a glimpse at the glaciers
and kettle basins dating from the Ice
Age.
This morning, begin with a boat ride
on Lake Lucerne to Vitznau. Modern
motor boats and nostalgic steamboats
bring you over the incredible, fjord-like
water to Vitznau. Thereafter hop on the
cogwheel train ascend to 1,797 meters
above sea level – Rigi Kulm is the
highest peak of Mount Rigi. Enjoy
fantastic views of the Swiss Plateau, the
Black Forest, the Vosges Mountains,
and the Alps awaits from the Queen of
the Mountains. Afterward, you will then
travel to the heart of Switzerland to
Interlaken for overnight.
Starting from Interlaken, you will first
journey along Lake Thun and before
going through Simmen Valley to
Zweisimmen. Here, the GoldenPass
Panoramic route takes over, running
past magnificent castles and peacefully
grazing cattle to finally leave the
German-speaking part of Switzerland
to the French-speaking region. On the
last leg, the train winds its way through
the hills and valley before arriving at
Montreux.
Optional: Jungfraujoch – ''Top of
Europe''
Today paying a visit to the 1000-yearold Chillon Castle – an oval shaped
masterpiece positioned on a small,
rocky outcrop that pokes into Lake
Geneva. Your journey continue as the
train follows along the banks of Lake Geneva, passing orchards and vineyards
in Lower Valais to go as far as Visp. Here,
you will change over to the Matterhorn
Gotthard Railway and in the next hour,
traverse through Switzerland’s deepest
valley to the Matterhorn village of
Zermatt. Upon reaching the station, you
will be able to catch a glimpse of the
world’s most iconic mountain peak, the
magnificent Matterhorn.
Note: Zermatt will be replaced by Brig, if hotel
is not available.
After breakfast, you will board the
world’s first fully electrified cog railway
– the Gornergrat Bahn – which starts
from the village centre in Zermatt, go
through verdant forests and lovely
meadows and up to the Gornergrat
(3,089m) for the finest views of the
Matterhorn. The observation platform
at 3131 meters offers commanding
views of 29 summits over 4000-meters
high. Afterwards, continue your
journey to Riffelsee Lake, a charming
mountain lake that is situated
5 minutes from the cable car station.
The placid waters of the lake reflect the
majestic and jagged Matterhorn. From
there you will visit the Matterhorn
Museum, a culturalnatural museum,
which offers a deeper insight into the
history and development of Zermatt.
Get set for an incredible ride onboard
the Glacier Express – the world’s most
famous panorama train. The ride
travels across the Alps and connects
fashionable Zermatt at the foot of
the Matterhorn with the equally
sophisticated St. Moritz. On the 8-hourjourney through the mountainous
Cantons of Valais, Uri and Grisons, the
train dives through 91 tunnels and
chugs across 291 bridges. Be treated
to unobstructed views of an imposing
mountainscape, deep ravines and
picturesque valleys – all from the
comfort of the cabin. You will then
enjoy a three-course lunch onboard the
train. Soon, you will arrive in St Moritz,
where you will spend the night.
Note: St Moritz will be replaced by Davos if hotel is
not available. Sequence of itinerary may change
without notice in adjustment to the popular
demand of Glacier Express.
Today you will board the famous
UNESCO World Heritage train, the
Bernina Express. Admire the
spectacular scenery on the world’s
highest altitude railroad, as you pass through 55 tunnels and over 196 bridges
along the way, including the signature
65m-high Landwasser Viaduct. Spend
the night in Chur, the oldest town in
Switzerland which has a settlement
history of over 5,000 years.
The train journey continues from Chur
to St. Gallen. You will be visiting the
Abbey Library of Saint Gall, a UNESCO
World Heritage Site where over 170,000
books and manuscripts are stored.
After which, spend some time
wandering this town that dates from
the 7th century. Continue to Zurich, the lively city of Switzerland. Take a
stroll down the Old Town and drop by
Bahnhofstrasse, an exclusive shopping
boulevard where you'll find your
favourite luxury brands. Drop by the
Swiss National Museum, one of the
most prominent art museums that
encompass the cultural history of
Europe. Afterwards, we will undergo

as a group before transfer to Zurich

Tour was great - well-planned and executed, and Darien was flexible enough to deal with changes on the fly while providing enough flexibility and also giving recommendations for each location as well. He also took care and often went the extra mile to ensure that the group was comfortable throughout the 10 days despite the packed schedule. Experience shows, and we enjoyed our trip!
Sek Yong Lee
We enjoyed our recent trip to Switzerland, thanks to our responsible tour manager Darien Tang, who always went the extra mile for us. Due to the unique approach of our tour (travelling on trains and public buses), we believe it couldn’t have been easy for Darien to lead the tour of 21 pax but he did it well ensuring we arrive at our destination. Even though we missed the connecting train en route to Montreux due to late train arrival at Interlaken, Darien was quick to resolve the issue.Darien also went over and above the itinerary by taking us on a walking tour around St Moritz and neighbouring villages Celerina and Pontresina. We greatly appreciate his effort in making our first holiday since the pandemic a memorable experience.

Recently, we joined a 11D Grand Train Tour of Switzerland. It was an amazing tour & we enjoyed ourselves very much. This is our second time travelling with EU holidays, we'll certainly join EU for more trips in the future. Special mention & kudos to our tour manager, Eddie Ong for his timely reminders, amiable company & looking out, checking on us & taking care of all of us so well. He makes sure everything was well organised, prepared & went smooth & rendered his help willingly throughout the tour. He's friendly, warm, approachable, responsible, knowledgeable; sharing & giving us alot of information, details on the background, history, doing commentary during our train rides & a good tour leader. Thanks a lot Eddie Ong & EU holidays! Looking forward for our next trip with EU holidays & Eddie Ong! PS. This tour would have been perfect if there had been a free day in Interlaken to spend time, explore the villages & do activities & 1 day for shopping@Zurich.Komala & Anu

Tour: 10D7N Grand Train Tour of Switzerland 1 Oct to 9 Oct 2019 Tour Manager: 王家福（Jiafu) My wife and I went for the above tour and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Our tour manager Jiafu is very hardworking, resourceful, caring and professional. He provided excellent services to the group throughout the trip. We will book our future trips with EU again and hope that Jiafu will again be the tour manager.

Tour: 10D/7N Grand Train Tour Switzerland plus 2N Dubai Date: 1-12 October 2019 Tour Manager: Wang Jia Fu 2 years ago we travel with EU Tours to Norway and on the first day 10 of us were lost by the irresponsible tour guide. We are glad that we decided to give EU a second chance and met with a totally different experience and in spite of having my luggage broken on the first move by the train porters and in spite of the unappetizing food we had been given and despite the sun-tanned Glacier Express (aka Sunshine Express to us now).... we applaud the efforts and dedication of Wang Jiafu who really made the big difference and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. We will like to have other opportunities to join Jiafu's led tours again. We truly believe that the tour manager really makes a huge impact on the success of the tour.
