We booked this trip the day before and could not have received better communication. Everything was confirmed straight away and the tickets sent over. Amen, our tour guide, confirmed the pick up time the morning of the trip and was exactly on time. He was incredibly friendly and helpful and gave us lots of information about the country and the destinations. The trip was unbelievable, beautiful clear views of the mountains and plenty of time as well. We never felt rushed. Thank you Amen for an amazing trip and memories from our holiday and for making it so special.

The worst experience I've ever had in my life. I called and asked them to wait 10 minutes while I paid my fare, and they simply ignored me, even though my personal belongings were still on the bus. I waited for someone else at the first stop for 20 minutes. I was left with my son in the cold. I called many times, and they treated me very badly.
Dear Customer, We are very sorry to hear about your experience and sincerely apologize for the distress this caused you and your son. We would like to clarify that your booking was for a shared tour, and for safety and schedule reasons, our vehicles cannot wait for individual delays. Shared tours operate on strict departure times to ensure the schedule works for all guests, and unfortunately, this means our team is unable to pause the bus for late arrivals. We genuinely hope this experience will not deter you from exploring other tours with Keytours in the future, and we will continue working to make our guidelines clearer to avoid misunderstandings.
Kris was a wonderful tour guide and driver. He answered all of our questions and helped make sure everyone on the tour was taken care of.

Unforgettable excursion. We had a magical time my students and I. Our guide Amine was exceptionally kind. We highly recommend it. Very nice experience
Bonjour, Un grand merci pour votre retour ! Nous sommes ravis que vous et vos élèves ayez passé un moment merveilleux lors de cette excursion. Nous vous assurons qu’Amine lira votre avis et sera très heureux de vos compliments. Nous vous remercions pour votre recommandation et espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau pour une autre belle expérience. Cordialement,
I loved it. The experience was better than i expected to be honest. And the guide and the driver (Babbis and Julius), were both friendly and professional. Beware it can be super windy on the walk.
Hi there! So happy to hear that your adventure turned out even better than you anticipated. It sounds like Babbis and Julius really made the experience enjoyable. And thanks for the heads-up about the wind – always good to know! We appreciate you sharing your thoughts and recommendation! Best regards from Keytours team
By far one of the best experiences i've had in the last 15 years. Our host / driver & tour giude, Roger was knowledgable, warm & an expert driver tackling the challenging snowy conditions whilst driving us up to the first base with ease. The glacier walking was astonishing & seeing the Matternhorn in front of you along with sldge pulled huskies was a bit extra. Well worth it, would happily do it again.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear it was one of the best experiences you’ve had in such a long time. Roger will be especially happy to know his knowledge, warm hosting, and expert driving made you feel safe and well looked after in the snowy conditions. We’re delighted you enjoyed the glacier walk, the incredible views of the Matterhorn, and the huskies — they really do add that extra magic ✨ Thank you for choosing us, and we’d be absolutely happy to welcome you back anytime for another adventure with Keytours
Glacier itself amazing. I e had also booked dog sledding at £80.00. We checked the day before that we would be there in time to do the activity and was assured we would be. We were at the base/car park of the glacier at the time our sledding was booked for our tour guide phone but they refused to wait for us. Upon reaching the top we still Made our way to the dog sledding in hope it would still go ahead instead a very abrupt and rude lady told us she was finished for the day and going. Our time was 11.10 Friday 12h we were only a few minutes late not our fault and at £80.00 for 2 people was expensive Wouldn’t recommend
Dear guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re pleased to hear that you found the glacier itself amazing, but we’re truly sorry to learn about your disappointment regarding the dog sledding activity. We fully understand how frustrating this must have been, especially as you had checked in advance that you would arrive in time and given the cost of the experience. While schedules must be respected for operational and safety reasons, we regret that the situation was not handled with more flexibility and, above all, with better customer care. Your feedback has been shared with the team involved so that we can improve both communication and the way such situations are handled in the future. Please feel free to contact us directly if you would like to discuss this matter further. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future. Kind regards
Sadly this got cancelled due to bad weather but I was thankfully able to go on a different tour (Chamonix Mont-Blanc) which was a 10/10 day :)
Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

We’d love to welcome you back again!
Amazing experience with a terrific guide Aristotle. Unfortunately the toboggan wasn’t on but the walk across the bridge was worth it
Dear guest, Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad to hear you had an amazing time with Aristotle — he’ll be thrilled to know he made your tour memorable. It’s a shame the toboggan wasn’t running, but we’re happy the bridge walk still made the visit worthwhile. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again for even more great experiences! Kind regards
