From Geneva to Interlaken Scenic Day Trip with sky glass bus

Avoid This Tour Company – Extremely Disappointing Experience

We booked the Panoramic Glass-Roof Bus Tour to Interlaken, Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald with KeyTours from Geneva because the panoramic bus was the main attraction and the itinerary promised guided sightseeing with free time in all three destinations. Unfortunately, the experience was a complete disappointment. About 10 minutes after leaving Geneva, it became obvious that the air conditioning had failed. Instead of cool air, the bus was blowing hot air, making the journey extremely uncomfortable. We stopped for around an hour while the driver tried to fix the problem, and there were no restroom facilities available. We were then taken to a service station to wait another hour for a replacement bus. When the replacement finally arrived, it was not the advertised panoramic glass-roof bus, the very reason we had chosen this tour. Because of the two-hour delay, the itinerary had to be shortened. We completely missed the advertised visits to Interlaken and Lauterbrunnen, leaving us with only a very limited amount of time in Grindelwald. The driver acknowledged that the situation was not his fault and advised passengers to submit a complaint to KeyTours because the company had failed to provide the proper vehicle. The worst part came at the end of our stop in Grindelwald. We were running only a few minutes late and had no way to contact the driver because KeyTours had provided no telephone number for either the company or the guide. We called another passenger on the bus, who repeatedly asked the driver to wait, explaining that we were only two minutes away. Despite this, the driver left without us. As tourists unfamiliar with Switzerland, we were stranded in Grindelwald and had to purchase train tickets back to Geneva at an additional cost. We eventually made our own way back after an unnecessarily stressful journey. Overall, we paid for a tour that: * Never provided the advertised panoramic bus experience. * Was delayed by approximately two hours because of a defective vehicle. * Left passengers behind despite being informed they were only moments away. * Forced us to pay substantial additional transportation costs to return to Geneva. Mechanical problems can happen, and we appreciate that. However, how a company responds to those problems defines its customer service. In our case, KeyTours failed to deliver the advertised experience, failed to provide any emergency contact information, and ultimately abandoned paying customers in a foreign country. Sadly, based on our experience, I cannot recommend KeyTours.

Not worth of amount

There was nothing in Interlaken to spend the day and there is no guide in Interlaken as they dropped us at 10:00 AM and planning to pick up at 5:00. We have to upgrade our trip to Jungfraujoch and paid 600 CHF for it

Awesome day trip, so glad...

Awesome day trip, so glad that Lauterbrunnen was part of the trip we could have spent the day there! In Interlaken I very much recommend taking the tram to Harder Klum so worth it for the view alone. So glad our guide recommended it

Beautiful scenery but too long in one place

I have mixed feelings about this excursion. The scenery at both Lauterbrunnen and Interlaken was breathtaking. But we had only 45 minutes at Lauterbrunnen and not-very-good guidance from our guide about what things we should see there (waterfalls) and where to go to see them. Then we had FIVE HOURS of free time at Interlaken, which was way too much time for the amount of things to do there. The description didn’t mention the length of free time; if it had, I would have dressed for hiking, biking, or swimming. Also, our driver was very stressed because he had to get people to different destinations not associated with this particular excursion. At one point he said to someone in our group, “Move your ass. All of this chaos is because of you.” Finally, the temperature on the bus was like an oven; the A/C seemed to be blowing warm air. I was sweating through my clothes by the time we arrived back in Geneva. All in all, I liked the areas we saw but it was a long day that could perhaps be made a bit shorter.
