- AElaine· October 30th, 2024This was supposed to be my dream trip of traveling by train - especially the Glacier Express - across Switzerland. Prior to my departure, I began trying to contact Collette about the possibility of upgrading my Glacier Express ticket to Excellence Class. My travel agent also contacted Collette. I was told our tickets were for 2nd class - with no option to change. I was so disappointed. Sitting 2 X 2 with a couple who talked incessantly about their careers, trips, money, etc. for eight hours was a bit overwhelming. We didn’t have much room for our feet. The meal was good. I did, however, have my earphones playing beautiful Swiss music in my ear. Thank goodness for that perk. Prior to my Collette trip, I had dreamed of sitting on the train for eight hours, just enjoying looking at the beautiful scenery, in my own dream world. As I said - the Glacier Express was supposed to be the highlight of the trip. Then - to top it off - when I boarded the Bernina Pass, the same couple sat with me on that two-hour journey. I must confess, I think I might have been a little rude because I only wanted to view the scenery - not listen to the ‘braggarts!’ The other train ride from Gstaad to Montreux was also less than enjoyable. As I understand, a group of school children were sitting in our tour group’s car, so as the train made it’s very short stop, we had to hurriedly cram into whatever seats we could find in another car. I understand - Collette has very little control over the actual train rides. BUT this was advertised as ‘Scenic Trains,’ and I wanted to enjoy the scenery in quiet wonder. I am disappointed. I have traveled with Collette many, many times - and actually have more Collette trips already scheduled. This is one of the first times that I am really complaining about the packaging of the tour. Please take this under advisement, because I would imagine that other Collette travelers would welcome traveling in Excellence Class rather than Class 2.Show moreTrip date: May 2023Review collected by Collette
