An excellent experience! Amin was knowledgeable and so very pleasant with our group. The alpine coaster was incredible! Also- I had mistakenly booked this trip for the wrong date but they graciously allowed me to move it to the correct date. I was so grateful for their patience.

Fabulous. Glacier 3000 and Montreux. Norman tour guide 5*. Informative but didn’t talk incessantly. Clear instructions. Firm on time scales so we were not all hanging around waiting for the terminally late.
Fabulous trip. Reaching the snow park was fabulous - so much fun. Trip was well organised and great having free time!
The glacier 3000 was an amazing view. The tour operator was very informative and friendly. Unfortunately we had an extremely busy day and it took over 1.5hrs to get the cable cars to the top so there wasn’t much time to do anything other than the peak walk.
This tour feels like it’s the wrong way round. The time on the Glacier is too long because the alpine coaster and sledge dogs and all other activities were not taking place because of the season. This meant that you were left trying to fill the time after doing the short bridge walk. While Montreux is lovely and sunny in May and has a lot going on. With only an hour to explore, I felt rushed and unable to enjoy the experience. On another note, the tour guide was unfriendly and unreceptive to questions except on his terms. I went on a tour with the same company the day before and it was fabulous. I was shocked I had the completely opposite experience today.
We were lucky to have Roger as our guide. Great storyteller and very informative. The stops are all beautiful and a great mix. Definitely recommend.
We has a great time. Trip was well timed and the guide Normunds was great. Very knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed our day
Loved every second. Would not miss this opportunity to see the glacier!! The tour guide was immense too. Funny and carried the humour for the day!!
All information from Viator excellent. Two hour plus bus journey and toilets locked on bus. Plus no stops on way to Glacier. Intercom on bus was crackling and the guide spoke about very little regarding the mountains constantly. Although guide was nice we felt there was a lot of unnecessary talking. The Cable Car and Glacier experience was very enjoyable and Montreal was also a nice town to stop at on the way back, however we were given 1 hour and was back on time only to have to stand and wait 20 plus minutes for the bus. I would do the experience again but use public transportation instead.
Highly recommend this tour, very lucky with the weather amazing views. Our guard was very noligable and friendly.
This is a great tour. It's pricey, but everything is in Switzerland. The tour guide was great (Dean I think). He was entertaining and funny, always willing to take the photos so we didn't have to take selfies. He knew some extra hidden spots and surprised us with a little picnic just beyond the base of the glacier with wine and cheese. A nice touch. The glacier has incredible views. It's obviously weather dependent and when we were there the clouds opened for some great views! It was snowy and windy though so wrap up warm. A little disappointed that the alpine coaster was closed but no fault, just the weather. A short stop in Montreux was a welcome break on the drive home. A lovely lake town with some interesting links to the band queen. Highly recommend this tour. Well organised and stunning views and scenery!
Was great! We didn’t need to think, we could just go and be showed. Norman was great, great sense of humor. The views were insane!! It was such a great day, I would recommend this!
The trip was cancelled by Swiss Tours as there was bad weather at Glacier 3000 I didn’t get any intimation & came to know when we reached the pick up point They claim they have informed tripadvisor but I didn’t receive any email Now raised case for full refund & no response from Triparvisor yet
It was really a nice trip. Enjoyed thoroughly. The guide Babis was very helpful and kept on giving information about the landmarks on the way. I shall certainly recommend this trip to my family and friends.
An amazing experience worth every cent. The fun park brought out the child in me and I enjoyed every bit of it.
The trip was amazing, we started around 8:20, the trip to glacier 3000 took about 2 and a half hours, the place was fantastic, our tourguide (Babis) was very friendly and informative, he was explaining to us all kinds of different information about Switzerland (history,culture, the lake, glacier 3000 etc), he offered us water as well, however I would suggest to bring your own as the trip took in total 12 hours, after we finished with glacier 3000 we went to Montreaux where we had seen the sunset in the mountains, 100% recommend
One of the more spectacular views I have seen in the alps. Stay away from the Husky ride though! They let us do only one loop, which took about 1 minute, and the lady in charge was super grumpy, yelling at pretty much everybody. Next to it was a little sledding hill which was super fun for our kids.
The trip to Col du Pillon was unforgettable. If you love the mountains and have time to take a day trip do try this one. The trip was via Key tours in a very comfortable glass top shuttle for 16 passengers. The two hour ride up to the mountain was very scenic and then the cable car ride to the top of Glacier 3000 and the peak walk were amazing. Plus our guide, Agnes was awesome and she even packed a picnic for a break on the snow.
Had a hassle-free, beautiful experience with my 10 year old. We went from Geneva to Col du pillion. From there we took the cable car to the top of Glacier 3000. We found plenty of snow even in June! It will be a memorable trip for me and my child. Thank you!
An absolute blast, our guide David was informative and friendly, and we had the best time! Loved seeing glacier 3000 and exploring the town after. Totally recommend!
Amazing trip! The views are breathtakingly beautiful from the drive up to the cable cars, to the top of the bridge and everything in between. It was partly cloudy but the clouds moved enough to get the spectacular views. Montreux is beautiful too. Thomas our guide was brilliant, very warm, friendly and funny. One of the most beautiful places I have ever been to.
Roger, Olga and their colleague ( don’t know his name) we’re amazing! We felt safe and overcame our fears during the whole trip. It was an amazing experience, definitely recommend!
This was the highlight of our trip. The tour guide was nice and gave us information about the areas as we drove through. We had so much fun walking the mountains, getting on the skywalk and taking in the breathtaking views. I don’t believe there’s enough time for this tour to do everything offered on the mountain since we had to rush back from the glacier walk but overall, we had a wonderful time and would recommend it. It was a dream come true to be on the Swiss Alps.
None, the agency canceled the trip! So disappointed! Let’s see how long they will take to refund the money?
I loved every minute of this trip from the rain to the sun up so high. Our driver was great and knowledgeable.
Absolutely brilliant! Driver/Guide Neil was incredibly informative and helpful with his tips. The experience itself is unforgettable. 360 degrees of awesome. If one wanted an image of the grandeur of creation, one would only have to stand at Glacier 3000.
Passeio sensacional, super organizado. Nosso guia super gentil, teve muita paciência e nos guiou como passear com um bebê pela região
It was incredible to experience the GLACIER 3000, with a view of the Alps. I regretted that some of the glaciers no longer exist.
