Disappointed Tour
This particular tour was cancelled on us at the last minute and we went to Lucerne instead. Not worth the money we spent.

Great Small Tour of St. Moritz
Lincoln gave us a great tour. He was prompt, engaging and knowledgeable. We talked the entire time with him. The train ride up to St. Moritz was outstanding. He recommended we eat lunch in vintage train car. Great suggestion. We did a short walk in St. Moritz. Highly recommend this tour with Lincoln.

Awesome experience of Glacier Express
It was very awesome experience with Ms. Salma..specifically my son (8 years) enjoined her company a lot. She explained in detail about the places specifically in St Moritz...

Great Trip
The train is very picturesque and a great experience. Very comfortable and fantastic views the whole way. The only problem we had was that the time in st moritz felt very rushed. It felt like we were only off the train and then had to rush to get back on again. We would have targeted have a bit more time there before getting back on the train again for two hours.

Great experience.
The train ride was very enjoyable. Our guide, Lincoln, was very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this to people in the Zurich area.

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Glacier Express UNESCO Views & St. Moritz Tour | From Zurich: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zurich.
How much does Glacier Express UNESCO Views & St. Moritz Tour | From Zurich cost?
+
Prices start at $135 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zurich usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Glacier Express UNESCO Views & St. Moritz Tour | From Zurich take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Zurich is not rushed.
Is Glacier Express UNESCO Views & St. Moritz Tour | From Zurich worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 69 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Zurich, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Glacier Express UNESCO Views & St. Moritz Tour | From Zurich?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Glacier Express UNESCO Views & St. Moritz Tour | From Zurich suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Glacier Express UNESCO Views & St. Moritz Tour | From Zurich?
+
Around 24 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Zurich can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Zurich and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Glacier Express UNESCO Views & St. Moritz Tour | From Zurich start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Zurich within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Zurich?
+
On Outty we rank every Zurich experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Zurich Food Tour with 10 Local Delicacies, Cheeses & Chocolates, Private, excellent guided tour of Zurich (from CHF 21/pers.), Zürich Historic District Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Zurich?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Zurich?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
