    I just realised that I've been holding my breath for half an hour! Thank you for literally breathtaking journey and very helpful information!
  • @brianbell4937
    I would advise anyone travelling on the Glacier Express to St Moritz, to continue their journey the following day on the Bernina Express (or a regular Bernina line train) onwards to Tirano, just across the Italian border. Every bit as spectacular as the Glacier Express.

    I took this trip on the Glacier Express in 1980, on a 15 day Swiss tour with my mom and sister. Many thanks for the wonderful reminders.
  • @brandieo6165
    Breathtaking scenery! Sure to be one of the most beautiful train rides! Thank you for letting us join in on your journey!
  • @misstwii34
    Ohh! What a beautiful memory video! I did the tour on the Glacier Express from Chur to Zermatt in 2016 and it was a breathtaking experience. I love Switzerland, it’s a beautiful country with the most beautiful nature.
  • @annieains1
    I am officially jealous! 😊 How stunning this was. Thank you for taking us along. Your videos are so well shot and I can appreciate the amount of work that has to go into making them. Please keep them coming! ❤
  • @maladasgupta2247
    I have never seen such a beautiful train journey in my life ... Serene and calm beauty with Alpine greeneries, light blue Rhine river and it's source ... I am speechless... it's so beautiful ... thanks a lot ❤️❤️❤️
  • Oh my goodness! Wow! Amazing! Fab! What a wonderful trip! Thank You!😊
  • Absolutely gorgeous scenery. The feats of engineering it took to build the bridges, the tunnels & railways were awe inspiring. Thanks fir bringing us along on this incredible journey.

    Unbelievable! The Glacier Express is amazing! What an unforgettable journey! With absolutely beautiful & breathtaking scenery, charming & delightful homes & buildings! As well as, stunning Mountain Vistas, beautiful Valleys & Rivers & incredible Glaciers. All of this, along with such epic & brilliantly designed bridges. As well as, the intriguing tunnel entrances, which makes the Train seem to just 'disappear' into the Mountain. What a delightful & totally unique experience! Thank you for sharing this wonderful journey on the Glacier Express!.
  • @cherylrayes8015
    Well what can I say....awesome as always, what a beautiful country! As a train fan I love watching these trips you take, as well as your other videos too of course. Every week I keep meaning to say how much I enjoy the backgrohnd music on your videos, it complements them perfectly without distracting from your commentry. Cheers Cheryl 🙂
  • @JimNicholls
    A brilliant video. Your camerawork and editing have become extremely professional. Thank you!
  • @susanharris5926
    What a great capture of a picture book journey! Your skills in filming and editing are great. Really enjoyed this train outing. Thanks so much for your efforts. I am sure people really appreciate your painstaking research and explanation about the how to, costs and options involved too.
  • That was amazing, the engineering of the bridges and tunnels and your photography, how the heck did you get a drone up when heading for a tunnel. Thank you as always. =-)
  • Most scenic and wonderful rail travel I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing it with us.
  • Absolutely gobsmackedly beautiful place. I was completely memorized by the stunning scenery and gorgeous villages. I have to say that the only place that could be capable of surpassing this country would be the South Island of New Zealand which has its own unique beauty and character. Thank you again for your excellent work.
