The customer service was terrible. No clear instructions of the meeting place which made it impossible to find them. No information was provided as to what to look for (van, bus). Impossible to join them. The only way I could communicate was via e-mail which is not efficient while travelling and they stopped answering my emails.Alexane_B

The place is cool but we booked an experience that doesn't exist. When we arrive, the guide ask us to pay 80 euros more per person! So 170, instead of 90! They didn't even tell us before (not even when we took the bus). Other facts were disappointing: The bus arrived late in the morning! We were...
The place is cool but we booked an experience that doesn't exist. When we arrive, the guide ask us to pay 80 euros more per person! So 170, instead of 90! They didn't even tell us before (not even when we took the bus). Other facts were disappointing: The bus arrived late in the morning! We were supposed to go to the Diableret village, we haven't been there. The experience was supposed to last 9 hours, but we got 7 hours! And not even a complete one in Montreux! And when we ask the company why did we book something that doesn't exist, nobody has answered since. We do not recommend this company, do it with another one!georgelungu

We have waited 2 hours til somebody from your partner Swiss TOURS in Lausanne to take us. We had the meeting place in Place du Port Lausanne at 09.30 and they have taken us at 11.30. In meantime we phoned different time to Swiss Tours by 0041227314140 and every time they said that it comes in 20 minutes because the bus is blocked in traffic. At 11.30 has come the bus driver and said : "I have to apologize but I forgot to take you ".Finally our arrival by Glacier3000 was at 13.15-13.30 more or less and we have remained there 1.5 hour. By return, in Montreux was all closed an we have remained there 45 minutes. Sorry but never again. Best regardsKatie M

This tour is exactly as described.. you travel by a lovely panoramic coach to the town of Les Diablerets and enjoy wandering and discovering the quintessential Alpine Swiss town. It was an absolutely lovely day. We found a lovely place for a cafe and lunch, enjoyed the sounds of the river running through town, the views of all the chalets and being surrounded by the imposing Alps. A great day trip!!carolel259

Horrible!!!!!!! We arrived at the cable car at Glacier 3000, only to find out that glacier 3000 was closed that day. No one had contacted the tour guide to notify him that it was closed. So we wasted hours travelling to the mountain for nothing. It was my last day in Geneva (and for the majority of the group). We only got back to Montreux after lunch time. We had wasted our entire day for nothing: And because no one notified our tour guide, we couldn’t even make new plans to go to another mountain because it was too late. I came to Switzerland specifically to visit the alps and I couldn’t do it because you guys did not plan properly! I am very disappointed. This is horrific. Everyone was leaving the next day. Absolute waste of time. I would not recommend this to anyone!!yatesemmar

We absolutely loved our day trip to glacier 3000. The trip was easy to make and the views were well worth it! A must see during our few days in Switzerland. Our guide, normand (George) was so informative, efficient, and lots of fun! Highly recommend this trip!
