Also, shoutout to the person running their WhatsApp, answered my logistics questions with the warmer weather and meeting point promptly!”

“Our guide, Matt, was truly outstanding. He went above and beyond to navigate us through Zermatt, shared helpful tips throughout the day, and made the experience enjoyable. He was knowledgeable, patient, and personable—10/10, and we would absolutely book with him again. Unfortunately, our 2-star rating reflects the company’s organization and lack of transparency. The tour is marketed as a “VIP” guiding experience, but the logistics fell far short of that description. The Viator webpage provided very little practical information in advance. We were not told what lift tickets to purchase, where to rent equipment, or realistic rental costs. The listing stated “Ski & Snowboard Hire – estimated CH...”

Along the way, he shared fascinating insights about the area’s history and nature, all while being kind, funny, and incredibly easy to talk to. Matthew also gave us detailed instructions for a hike we wanted to do the next day, plus helpful recommendations for the rest of our trip. He truly listened to what we were looking for and delivered exactly that. My family and I highly recommend booking an outdoor experience with him!”
