Worst Tour Agency Experience Ever. Rude Staff, Missed Pickup, and Zero Customer Support
Extremely disappointing experience. I have traveled to all five continents and taken over 461 different tours worldwide, and this was by far the least professional, least friendly, and least polite tour agency I have ever dealt with. I arrived at the meeting point at 7:14 and looked for the bus among many clearly marked tour buses. I asked other drivers for help, and one told me to ask at the company office across the street. The agency claims the bus left at 7:17, but I find it hard to believe they can be 100 percent sure there was not even a two minute difference between their time and the real time. That sounds ridiculous when a customer is right there trying to find the correct bus. I contacted chat support immediately, I have photos showing I was there looking for the bus, and I even offered to meet the group somewhere else. Instead of helping, the staff were rude, unreasonable, and completely unwilling to listen. Even worse, they demanded that I delete my photos or they would call the police. They simply told me to contact Viator and took no responsibility. I would not recommend this agency, not even if the tour were free.
Beautiful Scenery! Once in a Life-Time View!!
I wanted to experience as much of Switzerland’s beauty as possible in our short, limited time in the area! That is what led us to book the tour for Zermatt and the Matterhorn from Geneva! The weather was questionable with clouds and a good chance of rain…but we wanted to give it a shot! We could not initially see the Matterhorn from Tasch or Zermatt, but we broke through the clouds when we reached the top of the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise and viewing platform! It was bitterly cold on top of the viewing platform… winds were cold and strong but was able to get fabulous pictures. Just clouds hiding the Matterhorn :(. Strongly recommend dressing warmly in layers, thick socks, a waterproof jacket and GLOVES! We were fortunate enough to catch a view of the Matterhorn from Zermatt minutes before boarding our transport van to return back to Geneva…and then disappeared into the clouds after that stunning view! :) The transport was efficient but 3.5 hours each way without a toilet stop did present issues for a number of guests. Otherwise was a great trip! Dress warmly even in summer. (Layers)
Amazing experience
