5.00This tour offered a nice overview of the center of St. Moritz. We learned the history of the town and saw significant buildings and architecture. Our guide is from St. Moritz and offered great information about how things used to be and how they’ve changed over the years. She took us on a nice nature walk down to the lake where she discussed the difference events that take place during the winter season.

5.00Memorable parts of the trip was sampling the sparkling water that is part of that city’s history and riding the longest escalator in Europe as you learn about bobsledding. The entire tour was interesting.

5.00Our first visit to St. Moritz and it proved to be a wonderful experience! Our local guide, Susi, is a delight to work with - a professional! Her expansive knowledge and love of St Moritz is evident in her tour itinerary. My husband and I were able to appreciate this well-known alpine resort not just for the glitz and glamor it represents, but more so for its natural beauty and cultural significance. This was truly an enjoyable and informative visit!
