Our experience with Swiss Tours was very good. We used the bus to transfer from Chamonix to Geneva. The bus left on time and arrived on time in Geneva. The bus was very comfortable.

Bus was there early, loaded passengers (full bus), and we left on time and arrived on time. Not sure why he dropped us off on street rather than in parking lot (it only had 3 buses), but it was no big deal

Flix bus is the most unreliable bus company. It changed the bus schedule, I miss my flight by 15mins and had to pay an additional 200£ to get another flight

Several customers have reported that the bus driver was rude and made them feel uncomfortable. They experienced disrespectful behavior, such as being ignored when asking questions and being spoken to angrily. This treatment is unacceptable, especially considering that many of the passengers are tourists who may not speak French fluently. It's important for the company to address these issues and ensure a more pleasant experience for their customers in the future.

Bus driver didn't have his papers in order and so we were held up at the swiss border for 1h20 causing me to miss my flight

Awful. The trip was cancelled 30 min before the scheduled time with no reason. The staff at the bus station confirmed it was not even scheduled!! No other alternative was offered and I had to find a solution by myself. I will never book with such unreliable company.

Marta G.

4 July 2023

I booked same day… 1:30 PM not could be in the web before 5:00 AM. When recived the brochure try to contact to cancel. Personal assistance English only speaks French. In the web proceed to cancel but with 20 euros, for having the schedule bad organized in the web. Three calls, plus time to arrange and cancel. 20 euros for nothing. Many thanks
