An excellent company with very helpful people. We enjoyed one of their tours on Geneva and would definitely use the company again for any tours in Switzerland. When my partner left her glasses on one of their mini buses, they took time to search and find them an safely return to us next day. What wonderful service!

Annecy was beautiful, definitely packed and busy, but a beautiful day with lots of great food and views! The only downside was our tour guide for Annecy and Geneva didn’t seem to give a lot of background/history on the places. It felt like he was more just pointing out facts- so that left more to be desired. But overall would still recommend it!
