Checking tickets to be reviewed

The system for validating a 1/2 fare on board is not working or is malfunctioning. So you waste time, which should be devoted to a cruise, to justify yourself in front of an onboard staff who believe to be the gendarme of the lake 🤭😡 when you are not responsible for the fact!

Bonjour, La satisfaction de nos clients est au centre de nos préoccupations et nous vous remercions de nous avoir fait part de votre remarque. Il peut arriver que le réseau sur le lac soit instable et entraîne des difficultés lors du contrôle des titres de transport. Nous comprenons que cette situation ait pu être source de frustration, notamment si elle a nécessité des explications supplémentaires de votre part. Nos contrôleurs ont pour mission de s’assurer que chaque passager voyage avec un titre de transport valable. Dans ce cadre, ils sont tenus d’effectuer les vérifications nécessaires, même en cas de problème technique. Cela étant dit, nous accordons une grande importance à la qualité de l’accueil de nos clients. Votre retour a bien été pris en compte et sera transmis aux équipes concernées afin de rappeler l’importance d’une communication adaptée en toute circonstance. Nous vous remercions pour votre compréhension et espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau prochainement. La CGN

Not as advertised

Packed with no place to sit. Advertised that you could get off at castle but you had to be back on the boat in 30 minutes. Next boat in 2 hours did not stop in Montreux. Not as advertised. Waste of money. Could have taken the ferry for free.

Disappointing

Basically it goes around and picks up people or let them off at different points. No commentary or really nothing to be wowed by.

We regret that you didn't get the information about the audioguide that you can download on your mobile phone to listen to various explanations about what you see.

"Riviera Cruise"

Trip not described well at all. A 2 hour ride around Lake Geneva with no narration. It makes it sound like it takes you specifically to Chillon, which actually is a brief stop. Charged $48 per person, which you can get for $38 at the window. Bad Trip Advisor suggestion.....

Operator response

Dear Sir, We have well received your message and we would like to thank you for the time you took to write us. Every single one of our Customers feedback allows us to improve our service. To benefit from the guided tour you should have downloaded our specific app before your trip. Regarding Chillon, of course our boat brings you right next to the castle, but if you would like to visit it, you have to get off the boat. We are never pretending something more. The rate is the same 38 CHF = 48 USD according to current conversion rate We hope that will not stop you from coming back to our services for your next cruise. Best regards,

Last return boat was at...

Last return boat was at 4:30-5 pm, so traveling on the 4:05pm boat meant we had to take a bus back to town instead of being able to use the return part of our ticket if we wanted to have time to explore the castle. Otherwise enjoyed the short boat trip, but the bus would have been more affordable and quicker with more convenient return options.
