Traveler reviews
Worst operator ever
I booked this reservation by mistake because I believed the price was displayed in my local currency. As soon as the payment went through, I realized the error and immediately requested a cancellation through TripAdvisor while also contacting the tour operator directly. Only a few minutes had passed since the booking was made, so there was no impact whatsoever on their operations or ability to resell the reservation. Despite this, the operator refused to cancel the booking or offer any reasonable solution. I even proposed receiving only a 50% refund, but that was also rejected. In the end, I did not take the trip, yet I was charged the full amount. What disappointed me most was not the mistake itself, but the complete lack of flexibility and willingness to help resolve an honest error made within minutes of the purchase. My advice to future customers is to be extremely careful when checking the date, time, and currency before confirming a reservation. Based on my experience, this is not an operator that is willing to negotiate or work with customers when unexpected issues arise, even when the request is made immediately after booking.
Adventures with Zed in Switzerland and France
We had a fantastic time with our tour guide Zed in both Switzerland and Chamonix, France. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating in every way.
Excellent private tour from Geneva to Gruyeres.
Excellent private tour to Gruyeres. We were picked up from our rental house. Driver/Zed was very friendly, personable, informative and professional.
Gruyère - Great!
As a mother and daughter traveling solo to Switzerland, we so appreciated our private tour with Normands, who gave us an intellectual and entertaining appraisal of Swiss culture, as well as many interesting points of fact regarding Gruyère. We were treated like near-royalty at every stop, and so enjoyed not having to “think on our feet,” but only to sit back and enjoy the journey. Note: you will Not be hungry after this trip!
David was fantastic! He...
David was fantastic! He even came and did our tour on his day off when it was his country’s national holiday. The chocolate museum and cheese factory were so fun (and delicious!!) for us and the kids. And then he dropped us off in the charming Gruyère village where he recommended the best place to get the best fondue for lunch! So thankful for his kindness and direction and for the very delightful day in Gruyere!
