We also took this trip in August and had a wonderful time. The hotel in Zurich offered a free pass for the tram, which stops right in front of the hotel and takes you right downtown. The included tour of Zurich was first rate. The pre-extension in Geneva and Zermatt included a first class trip on the Glacier  Express train across Switzerland. I highly recommend the extension if available.

Hi, how long was your pre cruise extension to take advantage of Glacier Express? We are staying at Rennaissance on our own, but I'm struggling to determine how to plan to get to either Zermatt or St Moritz to take the Glacier Express.

It was 2 nights in Geneva then a long but very scenic bus ride (with lunch at a a very nice winery near Montrose, overlooking Lake Geneva) to some small town (don’t know the name) where we took a short local train ride into Zermatt (no vehicles allowed). Then 2 nights in Zermatt where we took the Glacier Express to Chur. Then onto a bus to Zurich, arriving at the hotel around 5-6 PM.
