Day 1 to Lucerne was wonderful in a large van. Our time in Lucerne and on the mountain was on our own, with time limits. Really enjoyed meeting Evan and learning so much about the area.
From Lucerne we were driven to Geneva in another nice van by Nils, another wonderful guide/driver with a wealth of information and a great personality.
He was particularly helpful in clarifying how we were to choose the next 2 days itinerary.
Day 2. We arrived at the office of Swiss tours and were directed to a large motor coach ( not the small bus with maximum 15 people as the description of this tour indicated). As we left the parking lot to begin our travel to GRuyere, awaiting the normal announcement from the guide…we grew a little nervous about being on the wrong bus. The tour guide, name unknown, never used the microphone to tells us his name, where we were going, what to expect. When we exited the bus at the first stop, he did explain to the people in the front of the bus where we were, but many people never heard it. This continued the entire trip. We enjoyed the tour otherwise.
Day 3. Again, boarded a large Motor coach to Chamonix, instead of just 15 people.
Immediately after departure, the tour guide introduced himself, introduced the driver and told us so much about Geneva, Chamonix and Mont Blanc. Neil was fantastic!
