Buyer Beware - Unfortunately we didn’t read the reviews beforehand.Tour Guide never showed up despite contacting them 1 hour before the tour time. They finally responded after the tour had left from a different meeting point that we were given.Then they said it was our fault.We will be contacting the Consulate regarding this company.PLEASE READ OTHER REVIEWS. BUYER BEWARE. Nearly $900.00 Australian down the drain. This tour was solely the only reason we added Switzerland in our holiday.

Scam! Avoid- unless you want to go on a random tour - We booked this tour and halfway through we were informed the tour agency switched from a cruise to a walking tour (we had already done this). After arguing with the manager of the tour company for a while he agreed to compensate us for the tour. We spent $250 each on the tour and his compensation was $15 each. Do yourself a favor and take a €4 train or bus to the base of the mountain and a €24 round trip gondola ride Save yourself €200

Tour guide never showed. - What a disappointment. I waited in the cold for over a half an hour. No guide showed, nor did anyone contact me to let me know what was going on. Terribly unprofessional. Do not book with this company. They are not trustworthy.
