5.00We had an excellent experience with our guide Victor. We traveled as a group with family, friends and several children, and from the first moment he showed a lot of patience, professionalism and dedication with all of us. Victor knows very well the history and information of each place we visited, which made the tour very interesting and enjoyable. He took us to Mount Vilate, Vilatosa Mountain and St. Louis, and at each site took the time to explain important details and make sure we were all comfortable and enjoying the experience. One thing we really valued was his attitude: always willing to help, very organized and attentive to the needs of the group, especially the children. Thanks to him, the tour was relaxed, educational and very memorable for everyone. We definitely recommend Victor as a tour guide. He does his job with passion, knowledge and a great deal of dealing with people. If you have the opportunity to take a tour with him, it is totally worth it. Thank you so much for everything, Victor.

Buyer Beware

1.00Unfortunately 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

1.00We 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
Great!
